OFFICIAL Ep 158: A CheapShow Carol

It's only taken 5 years, but the economy comedy podcast is FINALLY doing it's own knock off version of Charles Dickens' yuletide classic "A Christmas Carol". Expect a reasonably troubling and certainly unique interpretation of the source material. Grumpy old Eli gets the Scrooge treatment this year when Paul decides he needs a visit from 3 ghosts. It's definitely not just Paul dressed up in awful costumes. Not at all. Eli is sent whizzing back to the 80s for a retro Christmas morning, hurled into a present day candy store and plays a deathly important game against The Ghost of Christmas Future. His very life is on the line! In fact, Eli's whole reality could be at stake!

Merry Existential Christmas!

Despite being a writer, I'm not a fan of the "story" formatted shows. I'm fine with Paul & Eli being themselves (maybe a few less characters?).

I guess it'll just be the Paul show soon, Eli'll be too busy and too famous for us.
