A cynical 80s update of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol with Bill Murray in the central role, Scrooged has all the elements of a festive home run. Yet back in 1988 critics received the movie like a lump of festive coal, and even Murray himself was publicly critical of his performance.

Nevertheless, years of TV syndication have helped Scrooged to endure as a cult holiday classic. Did the critics get it wrong, or has Murray's boundless charisma hoodwinked contemporary viewers into looking back at the film with rose tinted glasses?

To help us find the answer, we're re-joined this week by our most consistently available guest, Ross Burton from 2 Geeks 2 Movies. Together we discuss how Scrooged compares to other popular A Christmas Carol adaptations, whether we really believe Murray's change of character will last beyond the Holiday season, and why, depending on who you ask, Carol Kane's psychotic sugar plum fairy is either the best or the worst part of this movie...

Each week on Beyond The Box Set, we sit down in front of a classic standalone movie and compete to pitch the most ridiculous sequel, prequel or spin-off ideas we can think of to bring them back to the big screen. Clocking in at almost 100 episodes and counting, there's no cinematic sacred cow we're not more than willing to defile.

We release a new episode every Friday morning, so hit subscribe to make sure you don't miss out, and please leave us a rating and review if you'd really like to help us spread the word. We also have a dedicated fan VIP club on Patreon - available from as little as $2 per month - and we sell exclusive Beyond The Box Set merchandise on TeePublic.
