Podcast appearances and mentions of Frank Cross

Bienvenidos una vez más al Majestic, esta vez a tope de espumillón, luces brillantes, sidra y polvorones, porque no todo va a ser terror de casa encantada, trauma y venganza… de vez en cuando apetece abrazarte fuerte a esas películas que te hacen feliz y que ademas no puedes evitar enlazar con una época del año. “Los Fantasmas Atacan al Jefe” o “Scrooged” es mi película de Navidad, la que no puede faltar en esos días de vacaciones, de regalos y de disfrutar de tiempo con la familia. Y he pensado que lo mejor para hablar de los Fantasmas Atacan al Jefe era traerme al mismísimo jefe de Webbtertainment, David Webb, que a diferencia del Frank Cross, es un amor de persona y se ha pasado por el Majestic para charlar un rato sobre esta peli. Así que ya sabéis, café, mantita (o toalla de la IBC) y a disfrutar del programa. Feliz Navidad oyentes!

You ever see a movie and think, “Damn, that dude needs therapy”? Well, that's Frank Cross, played by the one and only Bill Murray in Scrooged. He's a trash TV exec who hates Christmas so much it's like his side hustle. But don't worry—three ghosts are about to pop up and snatch his edges while teaching him how to be a decent human. It's chaotic, hilarious, and exactly what you'd expect from an 80s holiday comedy starring Murray. This week, we're unpacking all the holiday dysfunction, with jokes flying faster than Santa on Christmas Eve. Scrooged is a wild ride full of laughs, life lessons, and just the right amount of ghostly shade. So grab a drink (spiked, of course), kick back, and tune in. Because at the TruVue Podcast, it's not about the review—it's the conversation with the crew. We bring the barbershop talk to the box office, and we keep it real on the reels. This is NSFW holiday cheer at its finest, folks. Welcome to a Murray Christmas!

Together they travel to the past, present and future to see if a mean spirited, self-centered TV executive named Frank Cross can learn what it means to treat people with dignity and respect. He'll need to be terrified by a reckless cabby, punched out by a fairy and threatened by death itself before he ever changes his ways.

Bill Murray led film Scrooged as a 1988 re-telling of the classic Charles Dickens story A Christmas Carol, directed by Richard Donner. Four Play examines the success of this modern framing, which sees Murray as television station executive Frank Cross, who undergoes encounters with the ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future. The film serves up some brilliant satire and witty dialogue, but stumbles at the finish line with a wordy ending and a failure to live up to the meta-narrative the film creates. Our hosts still had fun and memorable time with Scrooged, but as the screenplay writers themselves admitted after the fact, it falls a tad short of being an all-time Christmas classic.

Hardly the funniest, but it works”  - Types - rottentomatoes.com "A BAD MOMS CHRISTMAS is filled with funny, crowd-pleasing comical vignettes. Some of them are relatively clean and fun, but many of them contain at least some, and often plenty of, lewd, outrageous content. For example, there are two very suggestive dance scenes featuring a professional male dancer. Also, despite some surprisingly heartfelt moments revolving around the joys of family Christmas gatherings, the movie's obscene, crude language and lewd situations overwhelm its good intentions and positive Christmas elements. So, MOVIEGUIDE® deems A BAD MOMS CHRISTMAS unacceptable for media-wise moviegoers and their families."  - Proselytizes movieguide.org “Frank hallucinates that a waiter catches on fire from a baked alaska.”  - Warns Roflpuff098 - doesthedogdie.com Get inspired by our  Top Ten time travel movie lists Check out @time_pop_pod on Instagram, Twitter, & TikTok Please Like, Subscribe, and tell a friend about Time Pop.

"Scrooged" in 1988, directed by Richard Donner, brought a contemporary and comedic twist to Charles Dickens' classic "A Christmas Carol." Starring Bill Murray as Frank Cross, a cynical and heartless television executive, the film reimagines the timeless tale with a satirical take on the commercialization of Christmas. The production faced the challenge of blending the traditional holiday themes with Murray's irreverent humor and the film's modern setting. The casting of Murray, known for his comedic prowess, played a pivotal role in defining the film's tone. The production team successfully integrated practical effects and special effects to create the ghostly encounters that guide Cross through his journey of redemption, adding a visually dynamic element to the classic narrative. "Scrooged" also embraced a meta-narrative by incorporating a film-within-a-film concept, where the characters produce a live television adaptation of "A Christmas Carol." This layer of storytelling allowed the film to comment on the entertainment industry and contemporary society's attitudes toward the holiday season. Despite some initial skepticism about the film's unconventional approach to the classic tale, "Scrooged" found success with audiences, becoming a beloved holiday favorite. Bill Murray's charismatic performance and the film's blend of humor, heart, and social commentary contribute to its enduring popularity as a modern Christmas classic.

As the head of a major network planning a live adaptation of Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol," Cross is indifferent to the holiday spirit. However, the supernatural visits force him to confront his past, present, and potential future, revealing the consequences of his callous actions. Guided by the ghosts and influenced by the people around him, Cross undergoes a transformation, rediscovering the joy and compassion he had long abandoned. This modern retelling of a classic tale combines Murray's comedic talent with moments of genuine warmth, delivering a heartwarming and humorous exploration of redemption and the true meaning of Christmas. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠thevhsstrikesback@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/vhsstrikesback⁠ --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thevhsstrikesback/support

Join Ian and Cole as they put a little love in your heart with a 35th anniversary "Late Screening" of Richard Donner's Scrooged!Bill Murray stars as Frank Cross, a mean and miserable TV executive whose upcoming live Christmas Eve production of A Christmas Carol has him acting surlier than usual. Like the Charles Dickens novella he's adapting, Cross is visited by four ghosts hell-bent on helping him rediscover his humanity (and, just maybe, some holiday cheer).In this spoilerific and likely very controversial episode, Ian sticks up for Murray against accusations that he's neither particularly funny nor a very good actor. The guys also look at the strengths and weaknesses of Donner's dark, effects-heavy, slapstick mélange and decide whether it belongs in the pantheon of off-kilter holiday classics!Plus: Find out why Cole will be...a little busier than usual in 2024!Subscribe, like, and comment to the Kicking the Seat YouTube channel, and check out kickseat.com for multiple movie podcasts each week!Show LinksWatch the Scrooged trailer.Keep up with all of Cole's literary goings-on at his website.For more literary wizardry, crack open our "Page2Screen" Playlist!Subscribe to, like, and comment on the Kicking the Seat YouTube channel!

This ain't no trip to Lapland, and it's not your moms plum pudding. And it's most certainly not a hallucination brought on by Russian vodka poisoned by Chernobyl! What it is, is a Yuletide celebration to rival any stocking stuffer you're sure receive. Let us never forget the sentiments of Frank Cross at this time of year. The most magical moment for humanity. Yule love it!It's Christmas time in Hollis Queens, mom's cooking chicken.....oops, wrong miracle monologue. It's Christmas Eve! It's the one night of the year when we all act a little nicer, we smile a little easier, we cheer a little more. For a couple of hours out of the whole year, we are the people that we always hoped we would be. It's really a sort of a miracle, because it happens every Christmas Eve. And if you waste that miracle, you're gonna burn for it, I know what I am talking about. You have to do something. You have to take a chance. You do have to get involved. There are people that are having trouble making their miracle happen. There are people that don't have enough to eat, or people that are cold. You can go out and say hello to these people. You can take an old blanket out of the closet and say "Here!", you can make them a sandwich and say "Oh, by the way, here!" I get it now! And if you give, then it can happen, then the miracle can happen to you! It's not just the poor and the hungry, it's everybody's who's gotta have this miracle! And it can happen tonight for all of you! If you believe in this spirit thing, the miracle will happen and then you'll want it to happen again tomorrow. You won't be one of these bastards who says "Christmas is once a year and it's a fraud", it's NOT! It can happen every day, you've just got to want that feeling. And if you like it and you want it, you'll get greedy for it! You'll want it every day of your life and it can happen to you! I believe in it now! I believe it's going to happen to me now! I'm ready for it! And it's great. It's a good feeling, it's really better than I've felt in a long time. I'm ready. Have a Merry Christmas, everybody.Shitter's full.

In this modern take on Charles Dickens' classic novella A Christmas Carol, Bill Murray plays Frank Cross, the youngest president of a TV network. His ambition and sarcasm caused him to alienate nearly everyone in his life including his lost love, Claire; his secretary, Grace; and his brother, James.  Before revisiting this beloved 80's gem, we try out Dots, the gum drop best known for decorating gingerbread houses at Christmas. We learn all about the history of the gum drop, and delve into all  the behind-the-scenes fun facts of Scrooged.  Megan learns that Steve has never eaten Dots. Steve learns that Megan has Scrooged memorized, and we both talk about the 80s humor of the film.  Did we feel the Christmas Spirit? Did we wish we could go back into the past to erase this film?

Bill Murray kicks your emotional teeth in in 1988's carousel of Christmas-time cheer, chain-clinking ghosts, and class-warfare, it's SCROOGED.  Visited by four ghosts, each more disorienting than the next, Murray portrays misunderstood job creator Frank Cross, who attempts to inject some work ethic into the cowardly social justice warriors all around him, until he is brainwashed by a punk rock demon, a jewish faerie, and corporate media itself into believing that helping others has validity, and is not an egregious front to everything Ayn Rand stood for. https://linktr.ee/oopsallmonsters

Learn with us alternate casting, How Much Charles Dickens would be worth in 2021 money and what happened to Tab Clear! --- Scrooged is a 1988 American Christmas fantasy comedy directed by Richard Donner and written by Mitch Glazer and Michael O'Donoghue. Based on the 1843 novella A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, Scrooged is a modern retelling that follows Bill Murray as Frank Cross, a cynical and selfish television executive, who is visited by a succession of ghosts on Christmas Eve intent on helping him regain his Christmas spirit. The film also stars Karen Allen, John Forsythe, Bobcat Goldthwait, Carol Kane, Robert Mitchum, Michael J. Pollard, and Alfre Woodard. Scrooged was filmed on a $32 million budget over three months in New York City and Hollywood. Murray returned to acting for the film after taking a four-year hiatus following the success of Ghostbusters, which he found overwhelming. Murray worked with Glazer and O'Donoghue on reworking the script before agreeing to join the project. The production was tumultuous, as Murray and Donner had different visions for the film. Murray described his time on the film as "misery", while Donner called Murray "superbly creative but occasionally difficult". Along with Murray's three brothers, Brian, John, and Joel, Scrooged features numerous celebrity cameos. The film's marketing capitalized on Murray's Ghostbusters role, referencing his encounters with ghosts in both films. Scrooged was released on November 23, 1988, and grossed over $100 million worldwide. The film received a positive response from test audiences, but was met with a mixed response upon its release from critics who found the film too mean spirited or too sentimental. It was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Makeup, but lost to the fantasy-comedy film Beetlejuice. In the years since its release, Scrooged has become a regular television Christmastime feature, with some critics calling it an alternative to traditional Christmas films, and others arguing that Scrooged was ahead of its time, making it relevant in the modern day. It has appeared on various lists of the best Christmas films.

Join us for an extra-long chat/tribute to the great man, with bonus ramblings into things he had nothing to do with. It's a Merry Murray Pod Stallions. Back off, man. We're pop culture scientists.

Marshall delivers a visitation upon the podcast to impart the lesson he knew in life - everyone likes Bill Murray as Frank Cross. Join he and Ryan as they talk an 80's Christmas favorite, one of the best retellings of Dicken's immortal classic, and much is made of television then and now. It's a Christmas favorite here at Signal Watch HQ, and we're delighted to get to talk on it.

President of CrossExamined.org, Frank Turek, who also serves on the faculty at Summit.org, responded to data from a poll commissioned by Summit examining the source of rights, as well as issues related to religious freedom.  The websites are: crossexamined.org and summit.org.

Welcome back, folks! We may have missed Christmas, but as this week's film reminds us, it's never too late. Round up some leftover wassail, put on your new fuzzy slippers, and join us as we break down the soundtrack to Richard Donner's 1988 "Christmas Carol" riff Scrooged! Bill Murray plays Frank Cross, a jaded TV executive hellbent on producing the most tasteless Dickens adaptation ever seen. But he's soon visited by three spirits... You know how this one goes.  The soundtrack is not your traditional Christmas album. We get Natalie Cole and Miles Davis putting their spin on a couple holiday standards, but we also get wannabe holiday jams from Dan Hartman, Robbie Robertson and The New Voices of Freedom. And of course, there's the inescapable theme song from Annie Lennox and Al Green! SHOW NOTES: Scrooged is available to stream here TBS's new ending for Jingle All The Way Buster Poindexter's "Zat You Santa Claus" INTRO: "Dance Rocket" by Jesse Spillane OUTRO: "Put A Little Love In Your Heart" by Annie Lennox & Al Green Have a soundtrack you'd like us to cover?  Follow us on Twitter @OSTParty and let us know! Or email us at OSTPartyPod@gmail.com

The holidays are messed up this year, but luckily not as messed up as it is for Frank Cross, and we get the whole family together to talk about our weird, dark family tradition watching it all unfold. In this special family episode, Erin fawns over David Johanson (Ghost of Christmas Past), Brennan does a voice, "Mom" appreciates the flirting tactics of Carol Cane (Ghost of Christmas Present), and "Dad" explains primitive TV walls (Ghost of Christmas Future). We discuss the Looney Tunes nature of Bobcat Goldthwait, the greatness of Alfre Woodard, and ponder which part of "A Christmas Carol" was shot at the Great Barrier Reef. . . . Have a great holiday season, Void. Enjoy a highball (with an eyeball) and yet another movie with Bill Murray being a total jerk.

This week Keegan, Cassi and Christina talk about cooking and vacuuming the grass, play FMK with Xmas villains Frank Cross from Scrooged, Ebenezar Scrooge and The Grinch, and laugh about awkward holiday dates with meeting parents. Cassi wraps it up with a Crazy in Love story of Shameena Imam. Got a story to share? Go to our website at http://www.myworstdatepodcast.com to join the fun!

Welcome everyone to Reel Film Nerds Podcast 200! Shocking that we made it all the way to 200 episodes. Today Mike and Matt continue their holiday movie reviews with 1980’s comedy gold Scrooged starring Bill Murray. A handful of our many off topics include a house fire, The Chive, TV’s, and LCD’s. Scrooged is a must watch retelling of the classic Christmas story by Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol. Bill Murray plays one of his most iconic and dramatic roles, Frank Cross, a cynical TV executive wronging his employees and former girlfriend right before Christmas. The star studded cast includes Karen Allen, John Forsythe, and Carol Kane. This film is a comedy but a very dark comedy. The story is great, the special effects, mostly practical, still hold up well today, and the sets are perfect. The three ghosts of Christmas are memorable and unique compared to other tellings of this tale. Scrooged is a holiday classic Mike and Matt watch every year and you should too. Mike gives Scrooged 4 out of 5 Reels. Matt a tad lower awards the film 3.5 out of 5 Reels. Next week the guys review a movie they have reviewed before. They promised it would make it’s return annually around Christmas, the skyscraper action spectacular Die Hard starring Bruce Willis and Reginald VelJohnson.

We’re back with Season 2 - it’s a holiday miracle! It’s time to kick off the festive season with 1988’s Christmas comedy, Scrooged. We’re talking all about Frank Cross, consoles on the big TV, THAT speech and more.

Eric Nash from Watchmen Minute and Doug Greenberg from Rocky Minute are playing through, while the first spirit of the night is playing with Frank Cross.  This is a great episode. Why do you doubt your senses?

Mother-daughter movie critics Tara McNamara (Gen X) and Riley Roberts (Gen Z) look at SCROOGED on its 30th Anniversary, and reflect how it's so '80s, how it's held up, and why Frank Cross got dumped unfairly. Read all the behind the scenes info at 80sMovieGuide.com. Follow us on social media @80sMovieGuide.

Mark, Rick and Brian have a "reviewsit" of the Bill Murray Christmas film Scrooged to celebrate the holiday season. Mark sympathizes with the main character Frank Cross being accused of being "raised by televelsion," the lads spot a random appearance by Miles Davis and other famous musicians and they get a kick out of seeing the 'Murray Brothers Cuatro" all in the same movie. The fellas also learn Brian's theory on character names when they are the same as the actor playing the role, ponder what a Scrooged remake may look like if it were a Netflix original and meet some brand new substitute Christmas Ghosts that arrive to show any humbugs the error of their ways. Turn the channel over to the IBC network because these "Tiny Tims"....err "Mini Movie Cavers?" are here to help you get into the holiday spirit(s)!

On this episode, my buddy Chris Prentice is back to discuss Dolph Lundgren’s next film, 1997’s The Peacekeeper. In this direct-to-video action thriller, Lundgren plays Major Frank Cross, a rebellious Air Force pilot assigned to protect the president’s “football” – a briefcase containing access to nuclear strikes! Yet when a group of terrorists steal the football, it’s up to Lundgren to get it back! The Peacekeeper was Lundgren’s first film with fledging production house, Nu Image, a partnership that is still continuing to this day. Why is Montel Williams in this movie? Just how suave and renegade is Lundgren’s Frank Cross character? How do the special effects hold up today, especially the Mount Rushmore sequence? What similarities do The Peacekeeper and George Clooney’s The Peacemaker have in common? And what is with Lundgren chewing gum in his movies? Join us as Chris and I take a look back at The Peacekeeper! Major thanks to Chris Prentice for coming back!

I look back at a film that some people herald as a great Christmas film.  I've always had issues, but wanted to give it another shot.  Do I come around? Bill Murray stars as Frank Cross in this modern take on the Charles Dickens' class, "A Christmas Carol". Richard Donner directs.

Brian and Brian continue their exploration of soul music on the show with the Al Green classic Let's Stay Together. Interludes on today's show are from The Minor Times "Frank Cross".

Christmas movie month is coming to an end this week with a remake of Charles Dickens’ Christmas classic, Scrooged. This modern day update to A Christmas Carol stars Bill Murray as Frank Cross, a big shot TV executive that does not have any holiday cheer in his life. Frank takes his anger and frustrations out on everyone around him and treats most people like dirt until one faithful night when he has a reunion with his old boss’s reanimated zombie, Lew. Lew tells Frank that there is still time to change his ways for the better and that he will be visited by three ghosts. Frank is taken on a journey through the many different Christmases in his life by the ghosts of Christmas past, present and future. This version of the tale has a much more comedy in it than the original but also takes a few dark turns. Why is Claire’s business card so damn large? What happens to Frank in the real world while he is traveling with the ghosts? Where there any members of the Murray family that were not cast in this movie? How could Eliot be able to return to work after his shooting rampage? Shouldn’t he be looking at some jail time? We hope Santa brought you all the gifts you wanted and that you have a fun and safe New Year’s Eve. Enjoy!

This Christmas season, put a little love in your heart with Paul and AJ as they revisit Richard Donner's 1988 reworking of A Christmas Carol, Scrooged. This year's Twisted Christmas entry stars none other than AJ favorite Bill Murray as soulless TV exec Frank Cross, who is visited by a number of very annoying spirits who try and pummel him into living life to its fullest. The boys discuss Murray's manic-to-dry range, what we're supposed to make of Frank's (and even Scrooge's) character arc, and the interesting decision to cast Carol Kane as the sound of nails on a chalkboard given form. They also invent the mental breakdown Donner surely had on set. This is a weird one. Plus, there's talk of those Star Wars and Jurassic World trailers, if you're into that sort of thing. Next: an all-star jam band of our Sandman compatriots takes place, as the gang turns to the final volume of Neil Gaiman's epic, Vol X: The Wake.
