On this week's bonus episode, Zach and Dan continue their fascination with Christmas movies they've seen 100 times on TV by digging into the Bill Murray classic Scrooged (1988). The cast is so star-studded, and the practical effects so gross, we spend most of the hour praising this holiday gem. We also spend a considerable amount of time nerding out about comedy: SNL, anti-humor, and Bill Murray's ability to be a jerk yet still be loved by all. It's really something!
