THE MUPPET CHRISTMAS CAROL The Muppets perform the classic Dickens holiday tale as the miser Scrooge meets the ghosts of Christmases past, present and yet to come. They show him the error of his self-serving ways, but the miserable old man seems to be past any hope of redemption and happiness. Craig is joined by guest co-host Tracy Mangum (@moviesmakeus on twitter) from Movies that Make Us and guest Author of The Dragon Knight James Owen (@CaveoPrincipia on twitter) as they discuss missing songs, the art of puppeteering, properly casting Muppets and the movie “The Muppet Christmas Carol” on this week’s Matinee Heroes!
