Welcome back to the couch! Season 3 of "What the Kids Were Watching" is here, and Sarah and Raf are getting into the holiday spirit with the 1988 film "Scrooged."
As with some of the previous films discussed on this podcast, "Scrooged" -- an 80s retelling of "A Christmas Carol" starring Bill Murray -- has proven a bit divisive for our hosts. Raf has wanted to talk about this movie since the podcast launched, while Sarah was resistant. "I didn't want to have to face how I just didn't love this movie," she admits. Ultimately, though, both hosts are surprised at how much they absorbed from a recent re-watch -- and at how much they missed when they were watching the movie over and over as kids.
So pop open a Tab and hit pause on "The Night the Reindeer Died" and "Bob Goulet's Old Fashioned Cajun Christmas," because you won't want to miss a minute of this podcast episode. After all, yule love it!
(Note: In the episode, Raf refers regularly to "The Christmas Carol" when he meant "A Christmas Carol." Our bad.)
