Podcast Christmas Special 2009

Direct MP3 DownloadJoey & I wanted to do something special for Christmas, a tradition we hope to continue for as long as we do this podcast. So he decided that for our inaugural year we would watch A Christmas Carol as presented by TNT in 1999. We assumed that since it had Patrick Stewart playing the title role of Ebeneezer Scrooge that it was sure to be something special. Boy were we wrong about that. It was hammy, disjointed, and frankly 1 piston short of a 4 stroke engine. Well I guess it wasn't completely terrible because there were a few good scenes and it did prompt some good discussion between Joey and I. But for the most part you all can skip watching it.

On a side note, we want to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas. We hope that regardless of whatever religion you believe in that this time of year is happy and joyous. Thanks for listening.

Various topics discussed in this podcast include:
    Joey & Peter admit to siding with Scrooge
    Objectivism vs. Scroogism
    Tonight the part of the Ghost of Christmas Past will be played by Liberace
    Peter doesn't want to die alone
    So do you have a crippled son?
    Made for TV movies are exactly what you think they are
    I Fight Dragons
    JC Hutchins 7th Son Novel
