Description

In this episode, you will be haunted by three adaptations, all based on the classic Charles Dickens novella A Christmas Carol. We discuss the 1938 adaptation, directed by Edwiin L. Marin, The Muppet Christmas Carol, directed by Brian Henson, and Scrooged, directed by Richard Donner. These three films take varying approaches to bringing this classic story to life, whether its through a traditional approach, a faithful adaptation with puppets, or setting the story in modern day and casting Bill Murray.

Cover to Credits is a bi-weekly podcast that analyzes books and their movie adaptations. Hosts Ian George and Adina Hilton cover a variety of genres, critiquing both the film and novel it's based on, while trying to understand what makes a good adaptation. Stories are also frequently viewed from a feminist lens, where representation, gender roles, and other elements are often times explored.
