This holiday rewind revisits a Dickens classic… with a sharp edge and an 80s attitude.
This week, sisters Amanda Stephens and Missy Washam rewind Scrooged, the 1988 holiday film that reimagined A Christmas Carol for a modern audience. Led by Bill Murray as the cynical Frank Cross, the movie blends biting humor with moments of reflection, creating a Christmas story that feels both familiar and unexpected.
Amanda and Missy walk through the film scene by scene, from the cutthroat world of television executives to the unforgettable visits from three spirits who force Frank to confront his past, present, and future. Along the way, they share fascinating facts about the cast, the late-80s setting, and how Scrooged earned its place as a holiday staple with staying power.
Whether this is part of your yearly holiday lineup or a rewind you haven’t made in a while, this episode captures the humor, heart, and redemption that make Scrooged a Christmas classic with an edge.
