Elysia and Luke wrap up their 2024 winter holiday miniseries on A Christmas Carol with a look at seven adaptations that offer twists on the original tale, from meta storytelling (00:04:36), to gender-swapped Scrooges (00:43:02), to trippy musicals that have landed on the favorites end of our lists (01:37:20).
We'll be spoiling these films (see list below), but don't worry if you haven't watched any of them – we'll make sure you know the basic plots and key moments, and of course how they compare to the original tale.
I – Start with the opening notes episode, if you haven't yet, for the background on this series.
II – The sheet music (novella and earlier story) episode is available to Book Club members in Supercast (Silozens or Storyzens)/Patreon.
III – And also join the chorus to discuss some of the most classic classic Christmas Carol adaptations.
IV – Then pause for an intermezzo on Dickens' life and the creation of this tale.
V – With this episode (the verse), our 2024 A Christmas Carol coverage is completed! Expect a reprise with more of the most beloved adaptations next year.
