Yes, we're a little late for Christmas but that's because we were busy watching Michael Caine act his ass off in front of a bunch of Muppets. Jake, Holden, and Mike talk about their favorite Christmas movies and TV specials, and unlike the Chanukah episode there isn't time to list them all. And yes Die Hard gets it due because we're not having that argument and if you try we're throwing you off Nakatomi Plaza. Holden talks us through the qualifications of what makes something Christmasy and yes, sometimes it involves Jimmy Stewart trying to off himself and Phoebe Cates' dad burning alive in a chimney.

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.

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.

In this festive, laugh-out-loud episode, Tara is joined by Jackie Santillan and Priscilla Kavanaugh, hosts of the new We Say What podcast, for a cozy (and slightly chaotic) holiday roundtable that feels like catching up with friends over spiked cocoa. The trio swaps stories about how holiday traditions evolve as families grow, like coordinated outfits, holiday videos, and the never-ending question of whether sending Christmas cards is worth the time, money, or sanity. They also tackle holiday fashion (yes, buffalo plaid has officially taken over) and reflect on how modern motherhood adds a whole new layer to the “most wonderful time of the year.” Things really heat up when the conversation turns to holiday movies. Through a spirited bracket-style showdown, they debate classics like It's a Wonderful Life, Christmas Vacation, A Christmas Story, and modern favorites like Elf. Along the way, they unpack why childhood staples like Home Alone, Rudolph, The Grinch, and even The Muppets hold such powerful emotional weight, and why nostalgia often decides the winner long before the final argument is made. The hosts also touch on how portrayals of family dynamics in older films can be both hilarious and… a little questionable. By the end, the episode becomes less about crowning the “best” Christmas movie and more about what these films represent: memories, traditions, and the comfort of revisiting stories that shaped us. With plenty of humor, friendly debate, and knowing nods to the holiday hustle, Tara, Jackie and Priscilla remind listeners that the magic of the season isn't about doing it perfectly. It's about taking time to enjoy special moments with our families.

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.

Happy Holidays! For our final episode of 2025, we are finally diving into A Christmas Carol, Muppet-style!

Let us know! First person that emails me with the subject line, "Happy holidays" will get a special mention on the show.  Let us know. Come talk to us in the Discord channel or send us an email to EnjoyStuff@RetroZap.com 

Katrina Mayer's quote, “Time spent among trees is never wasted time" is never truer than at Christmas time.

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).

Our 2025 Holiday Walt Disney World Recap Recently, we were blessed to make a long-weekend trip to The Most Magical Place On Earth to take in some of its seasonal fun. Now we're back and we can't wait to tell you all about it. That's right! It's Our 2025 Holiday Walt Disney World Recap. We share details of our wonderful visit. That includes a trip to EPCOT for the International Festival of the Holidays and a stay at Bay Lake Towers. We discuss the many delicious holiday treats we were able to sample and tell you about some of our favorite traditions and decorations. More than anything we share the holiday joy with you. Disney Stories of the Week Once we complete Our 2025 Holiday Walt Disney World Recap, it's time for the Disney Stories of the Week. In this episode, we share some good news for those looking to add a little extra splish-splashy fun to their Walt Disney World visits. We also tell you when it will officially be time to play the music and light the lights with The Muppets once again. Certainly, that's not all. As always, we wrap it all up with tips that might help you on your next Disney vacation.   If you have any comments, questions, or requests to cover a particular topic, please feel free to Contact Us!   We also invite you to join the positive fun in our Hyperion Adventurers Facebook Group as well as our Hyperion Mornings on YouTube for a daily dose of live positive chat!   Thanks for listening! Cheers  

Welcome back to another hour of digital cynicism. We kick things off with a FOLLOW UP on Amazon's Fallout recaps, which were apparently so hallucination-heavy they made the actual wasteland look organized; naturally, they've been nuked along with the "Video Recaps" feature. In a massive dose of IN THE NEWS, Tesla is finally getting a legal side-eye in California for its deceptive "Autopilot" branding, while TikTok is performing a corporate shell game by selling a 45% stake to Oracle and friends to keep the feds happy. Reddit is fighting Australia's under-16 ban like it's a constitutional crisis, Louisiana's age-verification law just got benched by a judge, and Merriam-Webster officially crowned "slop" as the Word of the Year—which is fitting, given that OpenAI is selectively hiding chat logs from murder-suicides while their Chief Scientist warns that recursive AI self-improvement might end the human experiment by 2030. If the "intelligence explosion" doesn't get us, the CRASH Clock says we've got roughly 2.8 days before Elon's satellite swarm turns low-earth orbit into a permanent scrapyard.In our MEDIA CANDY segment, we mourn the transition year of Star Trek, which was mostly a series of unmitigated disasters and corporate retreats, though the Oscars moving to YouTube in 2029 means we can finally ignore them in 4K. Meta is testing a "pay-to-share-links" feature because they clearly haven't alienated creators enough, and a new study suggests Amazon's "dynamic pricing" is basically just a high-tech way to gouge public school districts for pencils. Moving to APPS & DOODADS, iOS 26.2 is here with a "Liquid Glass" slider—groundbreaking stuff, really—while Microsoft's Copilot+ push is effectively killing the laptop market by making 16GB of RAM a luxury item only a data center could love. Meanwhile, iRobot has officially sucked its last bit of dust into a Chapter 11 filing, proving that even a twenty-year head start can't save you from a 46 percent tariff and better Chinese competition.AT THE LIBRARY, we find out that librarians are ready to quit because people keep demanding books that only exist in a ChatGPT hallucination, proving once again that the "Information Age" was a lie. We descend into THE DARK SIDE WITH DAVE with the tireless Dave Bittner to discuss why modern movies feel like plastic, the bizarre paradox of James Cameron's Avatar dominance, and a bittersweet farewell to Rob Reiner. We wrap it up with the return of The Muppets, a look at plug-in solar panels for the budget-conscious prepper, and the Sedaris siblings proving that even grief can be a podcast topic. It's all the tech "progress" you never asked for, delivered with the appropriate amount of Gen-X side-eye.Show notes at https://gog.show/727Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/hHnGD4lIFzASponsors:MasterClass - Get up to 50% off at MASTERCLASS.com/GRUMPYOLDGEEKSPrivate Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.

Junk Food Dinner returns for our annual holiday celebration and this year we're feeling particularly nostalgic! Up first, The Muppets gang crashes at Fozzy's mom's house for the holidays and they're bringing all their friends, even the Sesame Street and Fraggle Rock crew, in the 1987 TV special A Muppet Family Christmas. Then, we revisit one of Sean's favorite holiday traditions; we see what movies and electronics film critics Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert were recommending folks pick up in the Siskel and Ebert's 1990 Holiday Video Gift Guide! And finally, in the summer of 1992, one of biggest films was the blockbuster sequel Batman Returns. Tim Burton and Michael Keaton returned but this time Batman squares off against The Penguin (played by Danny DeVito) and Catwoman (played by Michelle Pfeiffer). But is it a Christmas movie? You bet your Batmobile it is! All this plus holiday cheer from our buddy Peter, tributes to some fallen heroes, Sean's epic new video mix tape and much more!LISTEN NOW:MP3 Direct DonloydAlso, if you like the show, please take a minute and subscribe and/or comment on us on iTunes, Stitcher, Blubrry or Podfeed.net.

This week on Second Helpings, MJ and Jackie are back, and "Heated Rivalry" has Jackie drownin' in her own drool, but manages to save herself to tell tale of "A Newport Christmas" as well as other bizarre Christmas films. MJ watched Alicia Silverstone's new Christmas movie and def recommends it over Michelle Pfeiffer in "Oh. What. Fun". Jackie and MJ also discuss the stacked cast but somehow forgotten "Love The Coopers", Himbo Christmas is here with "Finding Mr. Christmas", Meghan Markle suggests wrappin' those Polly Pockets in silk scarves for the season, and Macaulay Culkin is showing his kids "Home Alone", but they don't realize it's him in them yet and it's helping him connect to his past work in a way he never has before. KJ Apa is gonna be Jimmy Stewart in a biopic film that's possibly going to be a weird Trojan horse Christian thing, Jackie and MJ got into a FIGHT during the watching of "Muppet's Christmas Carol" about them weird ass singin' baby Muppets, Ethan Hawke says he gets T bell for aaaaannnyyy reason and ol' Gooper called it a sickness to his face, and JLaw interviewed Leonardo DiCaprio for Actors on Actors! Coldplay Kiss Cam Lady broke her silence, and then we're goin' through a list of some of the top pop culture moments of 2025!!!

To kick off this week's exciting episode, Cody enthusiastically shares his thoughts with Joe about the film "Fatman," which features the renowned actor Mel Gibson in a unique and unconventional role. The film presents a fresh take on the holiday season, blending dark comedy with action elements, and it immediately sparks a lively discussion between the two hosts about the landscape of non-traditional Christmas movies. They delve into various films that break the mold of typical holiday fare, exploring how these movies challenge conventional narratives and present alternative perspectives on the festive season. As the conversation unfolds, Joe takes a moment to inquire about Cody's Apple Music Replay for the year 2025. This leads to an engaging dialogue about the evolution of music consumption and how personal playlists reflect individual tastes and experiences over time. Cody shares his favorite tracks, artists, and the significance of certain songs in his life, while Joe adds his own insights and preferences, creating a rich tapestry of musical memories and reflections. To wrap up the episode on a high note, Joe and Cody transition to discussing the exciting news surrounding the iconic Rock 'n' Roller Coaster at Disney's Hollywood Studios. They reveal that the beloved ride, which has long been themed around the legendary band Aerosmith, is set to undergo a significant update, transforming its theme to feature the beloved characters from The Muppets. This change not only brings a new energy to the attraction but also opens up a plethora of creative possibilities for storytelling and immersive experiences within the ride. The hosts speculate on what this overhaul might entail, from new music to updated visuals, and reflect on the impact such changes can have on Disney park-goers and fans of both The Muppets and the original ride. Overall, this episode promises a mix of entertainment, nostalgia, and insightful commentary on the evolving landscape of film and theme parks.Official Website: https://www.comesnaturallypodcast.comOfficial Merchandise: https://shop.spreadshirt.com/comes-naturally-podcast/iTunes: http://tinyurl.com/kqkgackFacebook: http://tinyurl.com/myovgm8Tumblr: http://tinyurl.com/m7a6mg9Twitter: @ComesNaturalPodYouTube: http://tiny.cc/5snxpy
