đ Itâs another Scrooge Sunday in the Advent Calendar House as weâre swept through a rip in the space-time continuum back to 1986 for a Christmas Carol-themed episode of The Real Ghostbusters, who accidentally save Scrooge from the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future. Â

đŹ Topics & Tangents: Â1. Hey, grown-ups! Remember getting lost while driving when we didnât all have maps of the entire planet in our pockets? Â
2. Scrooge pays the Ghostbusters a mint-condition shilling from 1837, so we looked up its actual value. Â
3. You can actually buy Christmas Carol View Master reels from the 1950s online. Â
4. Rick and Morty talking about Bill Murray and Lorenzo Music comes up and goes⊠somewhere. Â
5. Egon entering the ghost containment unit looks like the warp tunnel on Space Mountain. Â
6. The other ghosts in the containment unit are callbacks to previous episodes, including Sandman, who bears a passing resemblance to the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come. Â
7. Santa should not laugh like Megatron. Â
