The Muppet Christmas Carol! We are huge Muppet fans and this movie has so much going for it, including an incredible performance by Michael Caine who plays the part straight up with all the emotion you could ask. Great songs and soundtrack and a wonderful take on a classic, this film has it all. Before we talk the movie however... we each discuss movies that we want to change the cast out for The Muppets! It's time to play the music, it's time to light the lights, it's time to meet the Muppets on this episode of The Movie Defenders podcast!
