The Muppet Christmas Carol: Everything You Didn't Know

56 min • 2 december 2022

There's more of gravy than the grave about Jordan and Alex as they forge ahead with their holiday programming by tackling the beloved 'Muppet Christmas Carol,' the first film released by Jim Henson Production following his tragic death. They'll continue to explore star Michael Caine's complicated relationship with blinking, reveal how Jim Henson gave his Kermit successor Steve Whitmire his blessing in a dream, and delve into why this was an especially poignant project for Muppets songwriter Paul Williams. Along the way, they'll detour into the behind-the-scenes magic that makes a Muppet movie and explore why enemy of the pod Jeffrey Katzenberg ensured a crucial musical number remained missing from the film's digital releases for years. Wherever you find love it feels like Christmas — and this episode has it in spades.
