After setting the stage in our intro and Book Club episodes, Elysia and Luke join the spirits in some of the most haunting classic adaptations of A Christmas Carol (see list of films covered below).

Join us for two more episodes, leading up to Christmas: the intermezzo – a brief look at the life of Dickens and creation of this book – and the verse – a collection of twists on the classic tale!
