The Sad Sacks on the PRPL Podcast—cousins Austin & Griffin and Griffin’s old man, Mike—dive into all things TV/film and entertainment.
The Sad Sacks are back with a brand new episode of the PRPL Podcast—this time rattling chains and counting coins with Scrooge, the 1970 musical adaptation of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. From the cold counting house of Ebenezer Scrooge to the spectral visits of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come, we follow one of literature’s greatest misers on a night that changes everything. Join us as we revisit Albert Finney’s powerhouse performance, the film’s surprisingly dark edge, and the unforgettable musical numbers that give new life to a timeless redemption story. Mind the goose and mind your soul—because it’s never too late to learn what Christmas is truly about.

The Sad Sacks close out the season on the PRPL Podcast with the Welcome to Derry🎈 finale, Episode 8: “Winter Fire.” What began as quiet unease finally comes into focus as past and present collide, forcing long-buried truths into the open. The town’s history weighs heavy, choices made in the dark ripple outward, and the cost of looking away becomes impossible to ignore. Winter Fire doesn’t just wrap a chapter—it reframes everything we’ve seen, leaving Derry changed and its future far more uncertain. Join us as we break down the finale’s emotional turns, lingering questions, and the chilling reminder that in Derry, the end of one story is often just the beginning of another.

“Maybe Christmas doesn’t come from a store. Maybe Christmas… perhaps… means a little bit more.”
The Sad Sacks are back with a brand new episode of the PRPL Podcast—this time trudging through the snow-covered streets of Whoville with Ron Howard’s 2000 live-action holiday spectacle How the Grinch Stole Christmas. From the neon cheer of the Whos to the lonely cave atop Mount Crumpit, we revisit the story of a green outcast whose heart is two sizes too small—and the town determined to celebrate anyway. Join us as we break down Jim Carrey’s unhinged, iconic performance, the film’s wild production design, and how Dr. Seuss’s simple moral was transformed into a maximalist Christmas fever dream about kindness, community, and choosing connection over consumption. Roast beast optional—but heart very much required.

The Sad Sacks return to the PRPL Podcast to unpack Welcome to Derry, Episode 7: “The Black Spot.” This chapter turns its gaze toward Derry’s past, drawing unsettling parallels between old scars and present-day fears.

Personal stories collide with something much larger, and the weight of what Derry chooses to forget becomes harder to carry. Join us as we break down the episode’s historical echoes, emotional undercurrents, and the growing realization that some wounds don’t heal…they wait.
