Couch Potato Theater: THE MUPPET CHRISTMAS CAROL (1992) Watch: Fandom Podcast Network YouTube Channel Link: https://www.youtube.com/@FandomPodcastNetwork Listen: Couch Potato Theater Audio Podcast Link: https://fpnet.podbean.com/category/couch-potato-theater Welcome to Couch Potato Theater, where we celebrate our favorite movies on the Fandom Podcast Network! On this episode we celebrate one of the most beloved Christmas movies, THE MUPPET CHRISTMAS CAROL (1992) The Muppet Christmas Carol is a 1992 American Christmas musical film produced and directed by Brian Henson (in his feature directorial debut). It is the fourth theatrical film featuring the Muppets. Adapted from the 1843 novella A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens with a screenplay written by Jerry Juhl, the film takes artistic license to suit the aesthetic of the Muppets, but follows Dickens' original story closely. It is the first Muppet film where a human is the main protagonist. The film stars Michael Caine as Ebenezer Scrooge alongside Muppet performers Dave Goelz, Steve Whitmire, Jerry Nelson, and Frank Oz. It is the first Muppet film to be produced following the deaths of creator Jim Henson and performer Richard Hunt; the film is dedicated to both.

Did you know that before the tinsel and the Coca-Cola truck, Christmas in Britain was a time for... terror? In the penultimate episode of the year (wink wink), Meg and Clelia gathered around the fire to discuss the great British tradition of Ghost Stories for Christmas.Long before the Victorian era, the winter solstice was seen as a thin place—where the veil between the living and the dead was at its most fragile. But it was Charles Dickens who truly cemented the 'Christmas Ghost' into our DNA with his 1843 masterpiece, A Christmas Carol.From the chilling 1951 Alastair Sim version to the high-budget Hollywood spectacles, we've seen Scrooge redeemed a thousand times. But... there is one version that stands above them all. A version that captures the heart, the thrills, and the humour of the original text perfectly.Talking, of course, about the 1992 cinematic force majeure: The Muppet Christmas Carol! We're diving deep into why Michael Caine's straight-faced performance and a cast of felt characters created, in our very biased minds, the most authentic Dickensian adaptation.Join us as we explore the folklore behind the ghost stories tradition, discuss our favourite tales from the beyond, the fear… and the fuzzy felt!

On the latest Billboard Pop Shop Podcast — and near the eve of Christmas — hosts Katie and Keith are talking through a selection of unforgettable movies, and moments, featuring holiday music – including White Christmas (1954), Home Alone (1990), Elf (2003), Love Actually (2003) and Mean Girls (2004). Plus, as it's the final episode of the pod for 2025, the team also jingles their way through a chat about some of their favorite holiday movies that are essential viewing during the season. Some of those festive films include The Polar Express, Scrooged, The Muppet Christmas Carol and the original Miracle on 34th Street. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Kermit, Gonzo, and two-time Oscar winner Michael Caine starred in this musical retelling of Charles Dickens' yuletide classic. 1992's "A Muppet Christmas Carol" wasn't nearly the hit Walt Disney Pictures hoped, getting clobbered at the box office by its own "Aladdin." But now, decades later, did we all miss a Christmas miracle? Or was Caine's tragic take on Scrooge too much for a kids' movie? And, why was a diva like Miss Piggy reduced to a measly supporting performance? The Old Roommates hop on a vegetable truck and give it a revisit through their middle-aged lens.

We close out the holiday season with one of the all time greats, The Muppet Christmas Carol. Joining us is friend of the show Jackie; a librarian, Muppet aficionado, and the wife who fuels the revolutionary love of one of our hosts (it's the host that name drops his wife more than he does Marx or Lenin). Widely recognized as one of the most faithful adaptations of the Dickens' classic, the film stars Michael Caine as Scrooge, Gonzo the Great as Charles Dickens, Kermit the Frog as Bob Cratchit, and Rizzo the Rat as himself and was the first Muppet film directed by Jim Henson's son Brian Henson following the death of his father. We discuss the accuracy of the movie, the influences that led Dickens to write the story in the first place, what the story has to say about alienation, and how two Marleys is better than one amongst other things.Only two more sleeps 'til Christmas 2025, and here at Left of the Projector we wish for a world where all us meeces can have cheeses.**Cheeses in this case is a unified and liberated working class working towards fully automated luxury gay space communism.

VYS0055 | Merry ChristMups! - The Muppet Christmas Carol - Vayse to Face with Phil Ristaino: Saturnalia 2025 - Show Notes God help us, every one! 'Tis the season of good will to all creatures and, even better, that jolly old elf, Phil Ristaino, returns to Vayse after an absence of only 4 episodes for an urgent meeting about the Muppet Christmas Carol, a film which he had never seen before researching for the episode! With Phil's help and encouragement Hine and Buckley joyously delve into a film which has been a Vayse favourite for over 3 decades, discussing the sad and sudden demise of the genius that was Jim Henson, the connections between the muppets and spirituality, why the Muppet Christmas Carol is one of the best Christmas movies, if not one of the best movies ever made, how the spirit of Jim Henson visited his successor to the voice of Kermit... and how the Muppets got the best performance of his career out of Michael Caine (recorded 4 December 2025).

[School of Movies 2025] Jim Carrey plays Ebeneezer Scrooge in this unsettling adaptation (sometimes intentionally so, sometimes not). Here, we get to talk about what was possible in this performance capture version that has been done nowhere else, making it strange and special and awkward and precious. Continuing our season of going back to the start, we resurrected the Robert Zemekis incarnation of the perennial yuletide Dickens classic (which we covered back in December 2011 in conjunction with Muppet Christmas Carol... the froggy one we subsequently revisited in 2022). This is also part of an ongoing series analysing the five very uneven performance capture animation films of Image Movers Digital, starting with The Polar Express in 2004, graduating to Monster House in 2006 and closing out with the death-rattle of Mars Needs Moms in 2011. All three of those will be featured on our After School Club over the next few weeks. The remaining oddball adaptation of Beowulf from 2007 is our personal favourite of the quintet and we will finally be talking about it next year. This sub-series is also a part of the overall Zemekis Season we are conducting. Coming next year we will also showcase Forest Gump, Here, The Witches and the riotous Death Becomes Her. Also for Carrey fans, we have his second-finest dramatic performance, The Truman Show, coming very soon (the first-finest being this).

Send us a textAs Chrismas rolls along, Shawn and Chris are going with one of the old time stories, in a cute and cuddly package... the classic 'The Muppet Christmas Carol'. We talk all things Muppet because quite frankly, these guys were a staple and fascination of Shawn's childhood, and it's a little shocking that this is the first time they've appeared on the podcast.

Our second special Christmas episode takes a look at The Muppet Christmas Carol with guests Chris Jarvie and Christine Kinahan. How does it compare to the classic 1951 version? And is a comparison even fair? Has it enhanced the original or just cashed in with Disneylike touches that blow up what Dickens was trying to say? Or is it just a light piece of fluff we all need at Christmas? A fun listen - especially about the song and the scene they left out.

Paul and Amy ring in the holidays with The Muppet Christmas Carol, celebrating the Muppets' heartfelt take on Dickens, the film's joyful performances, and the craftsmanship that made it a cozy holiday fave. They also reflect on the movie's deeper emotional resonance in the years following Jim Henson's passing, and why this Muppet classic continues to mean so much at Christmastime.

The Mousedebaters talk Disney ChristmasIt's Christmas in the parks, and we have thoughts.We break down what actually makes Disney holiday magic work — parades, decorations, Candlelight chills, and which park décor we'd 100% steal for our own homes. Then we debate Christmas overlays: Which rides and lands should get one, which should be left alone, and who needs to stop pitching ideas immediately.We wrap up with our fave Disney Christmas movies, from The Muppet Christmas Carol to Nightmare Before Christmas. Festive. Opinionated. Very on-brand.

Join Judge Rachel and Topher as they relive a delightfully chaotic honeymoon in Edinburgh — from a misbooked Highlands tour that turned into an unexpected adventure, to candlelit luxury at The Witchery and a surprise Muppet Christmas Carol live orchestra. This episode is full of humor, heartfelt moments, and travel mishaps (yes, a bus mix-up that might have saved their lives). If you love stories about how travel plans go sideways and still manage to become the best memories, you'll feel like you're right there with them sipping wine, spotting Highland cows, and hunting for Nessie. Packed with castle strolls, underground tours, secret gardens, and plenty of sarcasm, this sidebar is the perfect post-trip debrief to listen to with a friend.  

In episode 439 of Friends Talking Nerdy, Professor Aubrey and Tim the Nerd continue their holiday-themed month by diving headfirst into the warm, weird, and wildly nerdy world of holiday entertainment. This week, they break down the movies, TV shows, music, and games that make the season feel complete, whether that means heartfelt tradition, chaotic comedy, or something that absolutely does not feel like it should be a Christmas classic but somehow is.The conversation spans iconic holiday television episodes from South Park and The Simpsons, exploring how satire, irreverence, and animation have become just as essential to the season as twinkly lights and leftovers. They debate the enduring cultural argument over Die Hard as a Christmas movie, revisit timeless classics like It's a Wonderful Life, and celebrate modern favorites such as Scrooged and A Muppet Christmas Carol, praising how each reinvents familiar holiday themes in very different ways.Music also gets its moment under the mistletoe, from unavoidable holiday earworms to artists who have become inseparable from the season—yes, including the unstoppable force that is Mariah Carey. Professor Aubrey and Tim discuss why certain songs and albums hit harder during the holidays and how nostalgia, repetition, and shared cultural memory turn entertainment into ritual.Rounding things out, they touch on board games and other forms of seasonal entertainment that bring people together, for better or worse, during long winter nights. The episode is a thoughtful, funny, and relatable exploration of why holiday entertainment matters, how it shapes our traditions, and why we keep returning to the same stories year after year.As always, we wish to thank Christopher Lazarek for his wonderful theme song.

How does a felt frog teach us about redemption? Dom Bettinelli, Thomas Salerno, Jeff Haecker, and Patrick Mason reflect on The Muppet Christmas Carol, unpacking its spiritual depth, musical soul, and surprising emotional weight beneath the whimsy. The post The Secrets of The Muppet Christmas Carol appeared first on StarQuest Media.

‘The Muppet Christmas Carol' underwhelmed at the box office when it was first released on 11th December, 1992 - but found its audience on video and DVD in the decades later, becoming a gold-plated Christmas classic, re-watched by families, year after year.  There was darkness behind the scenes - from the sudden death of Muppets creator Jim Henson, to the legal wrangling over Disney's acquisition deal for his company, and composer Paul Williams's return from a difficult decade of addiction. But, despite this, or, perhaps, because of it, 28 year-old first-time director Brian Henson delivered a faithful and enduring adaptation of Charles Dickens's novel. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly discover how Steve Whitmire shouldered the daunting job of playing Kermit for the first time; consider Michael Caine's masterstroke performance as Scrooge (‘as if playing opposite the Royal Shakespeare Company'); and reveal how Jerry Juhl's script shifted from comedy pastiche to heartfelt musical…  Further Reading: • ‘‘You'll never see Michael Caine blink': An oral history of The Muppet Christmas Carol at 30' (The Independent, 2022): https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/features/the-muppet-christmas-carol-brian-henson-b2243015.html • ‘The Muppet Christmas Carol movie review' (Roger Ebert, 1992): https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/the-muppet-christmas-carol-1992 • ‘The Muppet Christmas Carol Trailer #1' (Disney, 1992):  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNo-Q0IDJi0 #90s #Film #Christmas #Heartwarming Thanks so much for supporting the show!

“Christmas Movies with Shaun”It's Christmas time. Why not invite Shaun to a conversation about something we both like. Christmas movies. We randomly found a list of the top 20 of all time and went from there. Some on the list were obvious, It's a Wonderful Life, Love Actually, A Muppet Christmas Carol, and other more recent ones didn't make the cut like, The Family Stone and The Holiday. There were the earlier ones which I look on fondly, The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, A Charlie Brown Christmas. Not so much for Shaun. His nostalgia is for when he was growing up. Makes sense. It's like a Venn diagram. His, mine, and the ones we both like in the middle like Daddy's Home 2. Then there is the newest contender, Spirited. It's a musical with Will Ferrell and Ryan Reynolds. My bar for this was so low it was on the ground. Not sure why, no offense to either actor. Maybe it was it being yet another Christmas Carol adaptation. Turns out it was better than I expected and I really did enjoy it. Shaun hasn't seen it yet but he's added it to the list of the ones he wants to watch. And I said I'd check out the sequel to A Christmas Story. Who knows, I may add another to my annual viewing list.

This week, we're celebrating two timeless soundtracks with the legendary Paul Williams, the award-winning songwriter behind Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas and The Muppet Movie, including the beloved classic (as well as my favorite song of all time) “Rainbow Connection.” Paul shares the stories behind these unforgettable soundtracks & the films they're connected to, his creative partnership with Jim Henson, and what it's like bringing heart, humor, and hope to generations through music. We also dive into his work as President of ASCAP, his collaborations with Daft Punk, Portugal. The Man, Willie Nelson, Jason Mraz, and more, along with stories from Phantom of the Paradise and another Muppet holiday classic, The Muppet Christmas Carol. If you grew up loving The Muppets, know every step of Carrots the Dancing Horse's routine, or find yourself rocking out to the Riverbottom Nightmare Band every holiday season, I promise this episode is as sweet as honeysuckle on the vine, ma!
