This week we discuss the merits of our favorite movie for the Christmas season: A Christmas Carol. We dive deep into the details to discover the ethical messages and important insights Dickens and the George C. Scott movie adaptation of this Christmas classic have to offer for our modern times. We hope you enjoy our discussion as you get into the holiday spirit!

Who’s ready for a little outback adventure? Kevin and Chris revisit The Rescuers Down Under, the oft-forgotten Disney movie which sits snugly between The Little Mermaid and Aladdin, in the early days of Disney’s animation renaissance. With Bob Newhart and Eva Gabor returning as those selfsame Rescuer mice Bernard and Bianca one last time (barring a new Bernard-only sequel—RIP Eva, but happy 94th Bob!), you hardly ever hear about this one, possibly because unlike its contemporaries, it’s not a musical. Is its relative obscurity deserved? Or is this an under-heralded gem?

Paul and Erin revisit two films about New Yorkers suffering from whimsical delusions: our art pick is Terry Gilliam's 1991 comedy/drama THE FISHER KING, and our trash pick is Anthony Harvey's 1971 unaffiliated-with-the-band cult film THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS.

Joe invited Brendan McGinley from 54 and 104 to cover him, which gentrified the podcast! It’s par for the course since this film has a house n… black soldier dressing Patton. Joe can’t leave George alone for two seconds, can he? Lets see if it rubs off on Brendan, as they talk about Patton from 1970.

Ein durchgeknallter General mit dem schönen Namen Jack D. Ripper gibt den leider Gottes unwiderruflichen Befehl, Atombomben über Rußland abzuwerfen – und im Pentagon wird empfohlen, nach diesem Mißgeschick gleich noch einen größeren Erstschlag anzuordnen, damit der drohende Krieg möglichst schnell auch wieder beendet werden kann. In seiner düsteren Satire DR. SELTSAM ODER WIE ICH […]
