Dan and Brian watched four different musical adaptations of Dickens' A Christmas Carol and are ready to dive in deep. In addition to the Albert Finney-starring Scrooge, they break down Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol, The Muppet Christmas Carol, and the one with Frasier from 2004. Join for their fantasy draft of the best songs, reviews of the highs and lows of each iteration, Dan's dream casting of an imaginary 2021 musical adaptation, and tributes to Scrooge's humanist, anti-capitalist spirit.
