“A Christmas Carol” was written strictly because Charles Dickens needed some money, but it really is Dickens at his best. Like Prince’s “Purple Rain,” it’s an example of him mastering a gift that often seemed to be mastering him.

This Wednesday, I'll be releasing my episode on A Christmas Carol 1984 with George C. Scott, one of the most iconc versons of the story.

Also this week, I'll be releasing a Patreon-exclusive episode about the Family Ties episode A Keaton Family Christmas.

Say @scroogepod.bsky.social and @collinmurr.bsky.social Finishing the Deep Dive eps and a thought crossed my mind for first time despite annually rereading this for 30+ years:

Other than an aside to Bob Cratchit, why doesn’t nephew Fred have any emotion linked to Scrooge’s death? Odd in retrospect

If you liked Mickey’s Christmas Carol, you’ll like Buckaneezer Scrooge… mostly because it steals entire exchanges from it

At the end of A Christmas Carol, Dickens describes the turkey as being as big as the boy on the street but twice as big as Tiny Tim. Trips to the butcher shop must have been odd for Chuck. Anything but metric...

It's another animated adaptation of A Christmas Carol. This one is from Australia in 1982 and stars Ron Haddrick as Scrooge. Will it hold a candle to Mickey's Christmas Carol?
