Through the magic of imagination and technology, Charles Dickens visits Movie Addict Headquarters on December 20th to talk about A Christmas Carol film versions -- plus actor/author Morgan Lawrence joins guest co-host Wacko Bob, a popular BTR personality, in a spirited discussion about other favorite Christmas movies.   

A Christmas Carol, Dickens’ 1843 novella, has been adapted for film over 20 times. Most of his other stories have also received the movie treatment. In fact, if Dickens were alive today, he would probably be a screenwriter! Which screen version of Scrooge is his favorite? Alastair Sim, Reginald Owen, George C. Scott, Albert Finney, Michael Caine, Jim Carrey and other fine actors have portrayed this famous character on film, so it won’t be an easy choice for Mr. Dickens.

Movies also scheduled for discussion during this special Christmas episode may include:

MIRACLE ON 34^TH STREET

HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS

THE NATIVITY

IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE
