Cinebuds Podcast Hosts Live “Scrooged” Celebration at Oriental Theatre
Milwaukee, WI – Local film enthusiasts Kristopher Pollard of Milwaukee Film and Dori Zori from Radio Milwaukee, known as the Cinebuds, recently hosted a live podcast recording following a screening of the 1988 holiday classic Scrooged at the historic Oriental Theatre.
The Cinebuds engaged a lively audience in a discussion about the Bill Murray-led film, exploring its enduring appeal more than four decades after its original release. Topics ranged from Murray’s iconic performance as Frank Cross, a cynical television executive, to the movie’s surprisingly progressive message about the importance of therapy. The hosts also delved into behind-the-scenes anecdotes, including Murray’s post- Ghostbusters hiatus and reported conflicts with director Richard Donner.
“It was amazing to share the fun of this film with a live audience.” Zori said. “So many people hold Scrooged near and dear as a Christmas movie, and it was great to talk about it with some fellow fans.”
Audience members actively participated in the conversation, sharing their own interpretations of the film and even competing in a Bill Murray trivia contest for unique prizes, including an IBC towel and an autographed (potentially malfunctioning) VCR.
The live episode promises a fun, chaotic, and nostalgic look at an ’80s holiday favorite and is available now on the Cinebuds podcast feed.
