About this episode
On today’s Round Robin, Tracy leads the table through the many faces of Ebenezer Scrooge — from the dark, musical rage of Albert Finney’s 1970 Scrooge, to the sharp corporate cruelty of Bill Murray’s Frank Cross in Scrooged. Along the way, the team dives into: How many Scrooges have appeared on screen (and why each era gets the one it deserves) Dickens’ real anger behind A Christmas Carol Victorian-era language we no longer use — and what it actually meant Holiday trivia, modern parallels, and the Scrooge that feels uncomfortably familiar today It’s festive, funny, a little dark — and very Round Robin. ? Because Scrooge never disappears… he just changes clothes.
