‘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!

My friends often joke that I am a predictable, spiritual stereotype. They joke that they can predict my answers and ideas based on the punchlines of comedians who mock the religious… They aren't wrong.The Meaning CrisisI am one of those people the meaning crisis beat into the darkness from which I thought I would never return. Over my life I became increasingly disconnected from my family, my friends, my faith and my life. My family tend to judge me without care or compassion for my own mental or physical health. I am an avatar for their wishes, dreams, and expectations and not a person in and of myself. Friends are physically so far away, because I have lived all over the country, my friends live all over the country and it is hard to keep in touch with them, especially as it has become harder for me to travel. The church abandoned God for the Republican Party. My body keeps me from doing so many of the things I want to do as my chronic ailments have gotten worse over time.The results of all of this is I am left drowning in the same sea of disconnection and loneliness as everyone. I've been able to keep my head above water, but it is so tempting sometimes to just let myself go under. While I know or at least see a path to the shore, riptides keep pulling me back out to sea.Current events don't help. Every time I watch the news, my faith in the social contract, progress, and our ability to correct errors is shaken and cracked. I know historically, the ideological pendulum swings back and forth. It is hard to live through this prolonged swing to the right especially when as the mechanics of the state have been twisted to cover up and prevent the pendulum from swinging back the other way.I know I am not the only one feeling all this, but I don't see enough spiritual teachers being honest about it.The Light in the DarknessAt the dances I was one of the most untiring and gayest. One evening a cousin of Sasha, a young boy, took me aside. With a grave face, as if he were about to announce the death of a dear comrade, he whispered to me that it did not behoove an agitator to dance. Certainly not with such reckless abandon, anyway. It was undignified for one who was on the way to become a force in the anarchist movement. My frivolity would only hurt the Cause.I grew furious at the impudent interference of the boy. I told him to mind his own business, I was tired of having the Cause constantly thrown into my face. I did not believe that a Cause which stood for a beautiful ideal, for anarchism, for release and freedom from conventions and prejudice, should demand the denial of life and joy. I insisted that our Cause could not expect me to became a nun and that the movement should not be turned into a cloister. If it meant that, I did not want it. “I want freedom, the right to self-expression, everybody's right to beautiful, radiant things.” Anarchism meant that to me, and I would live it in spite of the whole world — prisons, persecution, everything. Yes, even in spite of the condemnation of my own closest comrades I would live my beautiful ideal.- Emma Goldman, Living My LifeWe are not at our best when we are serious and solemn, entirely focused on the Cause, whatever the “Cause” might be. We are at our best when we are really and truly alive and bringing that vitality to our causes.Anarchism is simply the rejection of unjust hierarchies and working through right relationship in accordance with the sovereignty of ourselves and others to build an equitable world. I want to build and live in a just, equitable, and compassionate world. That goal is the light on the path out of the meaning crisis for me. That is why I share it to the best of my ability.Science and reason are great, but they have nothing to offer to the search of meaning, purpose, or fulfillment. We can study those things all we want, but their is no way to objectively measure happiness, fulfillment, meaning, purpose, and connection. We need a different technology for those things, and we have three: religion, spirituality, and magic. The problem is they have been used to control, dominate, and suppress people. Any technology can be misused, that doesn't mean we throw it out. We have to reclaim it for its proper and good use.How do we find meaning?These are like diagnostic questions you can ask about in order to (sort of) measure how much meaning in life you have. What do you want to exist even if you don't?Second, how real is it? Is it really real? Third, how much of a difference do you make to it now? If you can answer all three of those you have meaning in life. If one of them is missing, it's reduced. If they're all missing, you're in trouble.John Vervaeke, Metaphysics of MatteringThese are the diagnostic questions to discover how much meaning we have in our lives:* What do we want to exist even if it doesn't?* How real is what we want to exist? * How much of a difference do we make to building it now? The better we can answer those questions, the more meaning we have in our lives. I want to live in a world without unjust hierarchies, where everyone has access to meaning. I want to be a part of a movement where everyone can and does dance when they want. That is why I am a practitioner of Creation Spirituality.Creation Spirituality and the Meaning CrisisCreation Spirituality offers a clear and simple pattern to find meaning for ourselves individually and as a collective. That tool is the Four Paths, which is one of the most powerful spiritual technologies I have ever found to build and rebuild meaning and never forget to dance.Path One: The Way of Awe (Via Positiva)The first path begins with Awe, reminding us that we are born in Original Blessing in a world that is good (ki tov), that grace is always available to us and we exist as conduits for that grace to enter the world. How does the first path answer these questions?What do we want to exist on the first path even if it doesn't?We want to experience the jaw-dropping awe of the cosmos, savoring it with all our hearts. We use those experiences to build communities of hospitality where we, like Earth, are welcoming to all.We want to experience joy in our daily life, where we work from the desires of our hearts to build a better world for each other and the world to come.This exists on a small scale in our personal lives, but we desire to see this joy, awe, and enjoyment of life be available to all.How real is what we want to exist? This world is available to all, but is kept from most of our grasp by the greedy and the power hungry. We make enough food to feed everyone on Earth and have enough housing for a roof over everyone's head. It is only greed and the need of a few to dominate others that we are not living in that reality now.How much of a difference do we make to building it now? The more we work to help everyone savor the joys of life, the closer we get to it being a reality for all. Through mutual aid, collective bargaining, community organizing, and deep friendships, we grow ever closer to bringing this reality to all.That might not seem true, but that is because there are too many people striving to keep power, wealth, healthcare, food, and shelter under the control of a greedy and fearful elite. The more of us who are working for the liberation of all, the fewer there are taking food, safety, and life from those who are deprived of their birthrights.Path Two: The Way of Mystery (Via Negativa)What do we want to exist on the second path even if it doesn't?In path two, we let go of the delusional certainty that we know everything and we reject the lie that we must ignore suffering and those who are in pain. What we want is the space to acknowledge our wounds so they might be tended and healed. We want the room to speak the truth to power that power fears. We want the mindfulness to sit with our pain, acknowledge it, and reveal the depth of harm existing in the current system.How real is what we want to exist? Some of us have a mindfulness practice and have built support groups and healing circles. We see the hope and healing they bring into our lives. With a little effort and collective will, we can open space to air the issues we have and are enduring, because there can be no reconciliation without the truth coming out first.How much of a difference do we make to building it now? The work we are currently doing helps so many people, but through the circumstances imposed on us by the systems that exist now, so many others fall through the cracks. We need to continue to offer the help we are now and build a world where the resources exist to make these resources available to everyone.Path Three: The Way of Creativity (Via Creativa)On the third path, we trust our voices, our hands, and our bodies to bring the wonder we found in path one and the maturity and strength we found in path two into the world through creative conversation, organizing, cooking, poetry, writing, art, and countless other means. We channel the compassion and wisdom we generate in the first two paths into modes of sharing that compassion and wisdom to others.What do we want to exist on the third path even if it doesn't?While our culture does not embrace the importance of art in all its varied forms, some of us embrace it and offer the fruits of our labor to the world. Our work is very real, which is why the powerful and the greedy work so hard to commodify it and control it by the whims of the rich and powerful.How real is what we want to exist?Even through the efforts of the powerful to co-opt and control creativity and our imaginations, so many continue to work from the heart. If we found better ways to support the arts and those who create it, even more would be able to share their glimpses of the world through their own eyes. Creativity is real, but we need to do more to encourage everyone to take part in the creativity yearning to break free from their hearts. How much of a difference do we make to building it now? Creativity changes the world. Stories are empathy machines (Roger Ebert) that change the way we see others and ourselves. Art changes the way we see the world. The reason tyrants always go after free speech is so they can close off the imaginations of the people so they will accept their vile rule. All creativity, no matter how small, changes the world for someone.Path Four: The Way of Transformation (Via Transformativa)In path four, we take the compassion and creativity born though the first three paths and carry it into the world through justice movements and celebration.What do we want to exist on the fourth path even if it doesn't?Truth exists. It is born from the relationship between facts and how they impact people and the world. Justice movements push back oppression and celebration builds sanctuaries for us to recharge and renew our strength for justice making.How real is what we want to exist? The rich and the powerful have arrayed themselves against the work of justice and hope. The movements exist, but they need to grow and take back the power from those who seek control over others.How much of a difference do we make to building it now? Each person who joins a justice movement or who makes a sanctuary for those working for justice makes this even more of a reality. Together through collective action we change the world.This is why I practice Creation SpiritualityCreation Spirituality is a fount of meaning and purpose. The practice focuses us on the daily activities that help us find meaning every day, even in the darkest times. You don't have to agree with my politics and I don't have to agree with yours. We do need to agree with need for justice, compassion, wonder, mindfulness, and creativity. These things will liberate us all from those seeking to control us for their own selfish aims. The practice itself liberates us individually, and encourages us to bring others with us on the path to freedom, harmony, and joy.I want to invite you to join us as we learn more about the four paths and the ways we can embody them to find meaning and purpose in our own lives and to spread that discovery to everyone.Thanks for reading!

We are joined by a very special guest: Payton McCarthy-Simas, author of That Very Witch: Fear, Feminism, and the American Witch Film, to dive deep into Rob Zombie's The Lords of Salem (2012) — a hypnotic, polarising, and deeply uncanny entry in modern witch cinema.Payton brings their expertise on American witch narratives to unpack the film's hallucinatory imagery, its lineage in Puritan panic, and its portrayal of witchcraft as both a site of feminist resistance and profound horror. We trace the film's depiction of addiction, grief, and bodily vulnerability, and explore how Zombie reimagines the witch's coven as a force that is at once communal, grotesque, and defiantly powerful.Join us as we interrogate whether The Lords of Salem offers liberation or damnation; how the film echoes real histories of persecution; and what it means to place a woman at the centre of a cosmic ritual she cannot escape. Expect discussions of trauma, ritual spectacle, psychedelic horror, and the complicated politics of representing female and non-binary bodies within witchcraft narratives.Tune in for an episode that's part cultural excavation, part fever dream.****Payton is an author, programmer, film critic, and video artist with a focus on horror and genre film. Their writing has been featured in The Hollywood Reporter, Film Daze, and The Brooklyn Rail among others, as well as spotlighted in The New York Times, CNN, and RogerEbert.com. Her short films and screenplays have been featured in several film festivals as well as shown at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles. She is also the author of two books of nonfiction and film criticism, One Step Short of Crazy: National Treasure and the Landscape of American Conspiracy Culture (2024) and That Very Witch: Fear, Feminism, and the American Witch Film (2025). Payton holds a Masters in Film and Media Studies from Columbia University and is a member of the Online Association of Female Film Critics and GALECA.***Editing and theme music by Adam Hynes @adamnarrowsFollow the hosts of Monstrous Flesh on social media @monstrous_flesh and @monstrousmeg

sky dog and the lion of tomorrow When Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow came out in 2004, much was made of the fact that director Kerry Conran had landed the job on the strength of a short film painstakingly made on his computer. The feature length film, starring a staggeringly audience-enticing combo of Jude Law, Gwyneth Paltrow and Angelina Jolie, arrived on a wave of hype and positive reviews (Roger Ebert loved it) that few movies could reasonably bear.We may not have known it in 2004, but Sky Captain does grant a vision of the future - not one of mid-century retrofuturism with a blast of steampunk and a sprig of Hollow Earth-style pulp - but a world of green screens and artificial backgrounds. The Star Wars prequels had already demonstrated what it looked like when actors interfaced with tennis balls on empty, green-draped sets (like crap), but Sky Captain threw its A-list stars into a sepia-toned digital landscape and let them suffer there. Their suffering is not completely fruitless. Jolie is particularly fun as the crisply accented Frankie, and Paltrow and Law do a good job of delivering some screwball banter amidst the giant robots and dinosaurs. The weak spot here is Conran, who is incapable of maintaining the tone or coaxing a grounded reality out of the digital backlot. It's probably too much to ask of a first-time director, no matter how talented.But what did Adam and Aidan think? Find out below or listen on your podcatcher of choice.

Chaz Ebert, CEO of Ebert Digital and publisher of RogerEbert.com, joins us for an intimate conversation about continuing her late husband Roger Ebert's extraordinary legacy while forging her own path as a champion of empathy and understanding. Chaz shares how Roger's unwavering belief in movies as "empathy machines" continues to shape her work and advocacy. We dive into her new book, It's Time to Give a FECK, which expands upon the FECK Awards—a playful yet profound acronym celebrating films that embody Forgiveness, Empathy, Compassion, and Kindness. Chaz reveals how these values have become more than just criteria for recognizing cinema; they represent a transformative philosophy for living that she's now sharing with readers everywhere. Chaz also shares the inside scoop about her own film and directorial debut "Wellness Warrior" which tells the story of the creation of Rancho La Puerta, the famed wellness retreat by 103 year old Deborah Szekely - the "Godmother of Wellness." Chaz opens up about the power of forgiveness in her own journey, the compassion required to navigate profound loss, and why kindness isn't weakness but rather the strongest foundation for meaningful change. Her insights reveal how Roger's generous spirit and radical empathy continue to inspire new generations of film lovers, critics, and creators—and how she's ensuring that legacy remains a living, breathing force for good in an increasingly divided world.

“It can't rain all the time.”Those words became immortal the day Brandon Lee brought The Crow to life and lost his own in the process. Born to a martial arts legend, Brandon Lee was poised for stardom, carving out a name for himself outside of his father's shadow, but fate had other ideas when a tragic accident occurred on set, and The Crow, a dark and gothic thriller, would become both his final film and his legacy.After 30 years, The Crow has immortalized Brandon Lee in its haunting story of Eric Draven, risen from the dead seeking retribution, but his death also created another legacy, one that changed the way Hollywood would operate to keep casts and crews safe.
