Scrooged (1988)

2 Fast 2 Forever: The Fast and Furious Podcast

It's Christmas in July in the 80s Cult Movie Lap, so it's time to talk about Scrooged, starring Bill Murray! We talk about the tone deaf response from Paramount executives about working on Christmas, get Joe's thoughts on this movie (given that he is famously anti-Christmas), and wonder if this in-movie TV special would re-air every Christmas... or never again. We admire the casting, create a sliding scale to determine how "Christmas-y" this movie is, and debate which F&F family members love Christmas. We ask: would you want to watch your life like this? Our Scrooge hates on Friends, Netflix, and Christmas before Joey makes him name three good things about Christmas.
