December 16, 2025This week on Hix Nix Stix Pix, Robb and Josh unwrap one of the most beloved Christmas movies of all time: The Muppet Christmas Carol. They dive into why Michael Caine’s straight-faced, Oscar-worthy performance as Ebenezer Scrooge is the secret sauce that makes this film work, how the Muppets somehow deliver the most faithful adaptation of Dickens ever put on screen, and which songs still hit just as hard decades later. From Gonzo’s narration to the surprisingly terrifying Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, the guys break down why this movie isn’t just a kids’ film—it’s a holiday classic that gets better every year. Grab some cocoa, light the tree, and join Hix Nix Stix Pix for a joyful, heartfelt, and very Muppet-y look at The Muppet Christmas Carol. 🎄🐸- December 16, 2025Today, we are joined by Mark Malkoff, podcaster, comedian, and the author of Love Johnny Carson: One Obsessive Fan's Journey to Find the Genius Behind the Legend.

Plus, Tidbits. good and bad movies... and Mike's skin.
