🧝‍♂️SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT🧝‍♂️

Those of you who listened to our first Muppet Christmas Carol episode this week know that Jimmy and I will be taking a hiatus from Jacob Marley is Dead until next holiday season.

So we are now unveiling the project we will be starting this year.

FRODO LIVES is a book club style Lord of the Rings read through podcast where we will read one chapter of The Lord of the Rings each week and discuss the happenings of that chapter. The back half of the show will be a spoiler warnings off deep dive into Tolkien lore, where we will go through supplementary readings to dig into the history of characters, places, and cultures brought up in each chapter.

We are very excited to get this project up off the ground and we hope you'll tune in to our first episode which we hope to drop in January!

When we started Jacob Marley is Dead, Jimmy and I made a list of "the big ones", the adaptations of ACC we knew would have a very strong following and a ton of influence on how people remember this story.

Next Monday, we are covering one of the big ones.

Mickey's Christmas Carol

Jimmy sings 90s R&B while two CGI mice have a hot make out sesh.

It's all par for the course in foggy London town.

Can Nicholas Cage, Kate Winslet, and a pair of cartoon mice save the sick Victorian urchins from the stingiest version of Mr. Scrooge we have seen so far?

👻NEW EPISODE🎄

Jimmy isn't happy, John can't really blame him.
Questions linger: Is little Lucy a dog? Why is every shot a close up? Who will give Sebastian a heart? And will we survive the "The Room" of Christmas Carol movies?

Sneak peak of tomorrow's episode!

Very tall jawas, hot takes on the industrial revolution, and Patrick Stewart's most bizarre acting choice ever.

We are continuing our discussion of the 1999 TV movie adaptation of A Christmas Carol starring Sir Patrick Stewart!
