    Episode 47: Scrooged

    Episode 47: Scrooged

    Welcome to the penultimate episode of Return to the '80s! Yes, I hate to be a Scrooge (or Frank Cross), but the end is near. But all is not bleak. We are rebranding into We Are Generation X.
    We open this episode talking about the rebranding.
    Then we get into the awesome Christmas Classic, Scrooged! And there are plenty of sidebars along the way.
    We have as much fun in this as if we were in our own '80s office Christmas party!
    Enjoy the show!
    Also, what are some of your favorite Christmas classics? We'd love to hear from you!
     
    And as discussed on the show, here is Large Marge from The '80s Cruise
