This is a great telling of A Christmas Carol by the way.
A Charlie Brown Christmas is a holiday classic. Originally airing on CBS, who would go on to produce more Peanuts holiday and non-holiday specials as well as the Saturday Morning series The Charlie Brown And Snoopy Show, the special is now a regular on ABC for whatever reason. It’s still a must-watch for many at Christmastime.
Like anything popular facts and rumors both make their way into trivia about the special. In 2015, to honor the show’s anniversary YouTuber Marlar House decided to look at ten facts to see which were truths and which were turkeys. You may learn something.

“The Terrahawks marathon begins Wednesday, January 1 at 12 a.m. PT and continues through New Year’s Day. The stream can be viewed on http://www.ShoutFactoryTV.com along with Shout! Factory TV’s Roku, Amazon Fire, Apple TV, and Android apps; and the following digital streaming platforms: Twitch, Samsung TV Plus, Xumo, and STIRR.”
The series was the last of Gerry Anderson’s “Supermarionation” and at least here in the US isn’t as well known as Thunderbirds or even Captain Scarlet & The Mysterons so here’s your chance to see a show you hadn’t before. Oddly they didn’t list Pluto TV, which also has a Shout Factory channel but I presume it will be there as well unless something happened I’m not aware of.

I was not among the voices of those whose gut reaction to having Robert Pattinson play Batman in the upcoming The Batman movie. Coming down on him for one character, Edward of the Twilight franchise, seemed a bit harsh since that’s not all he’s done. Since the movies finished Pattinson has done other movies, mostly indie films. I don’t know what else he can do so based on one character I’m not going to say he’s wrong for the part. There was an uproar against Michael Keaton playing the role and there wasn’t even an internet yet, at least not as we know it today.
However, a recent article I came across is giving me room to doubt. Pattinson seems to be trying to distance himself from the concept of superheroes by declaring that Batman is not actually a superhero. This is line with recent comments by Bree Larson that when she signed on to play Carol Danvers for Captain Marvel for the Marvel Cinematic Universe that she isn’t playing a hero, she’s playing a “person”. (Check out any video by YouTuber Mecharandom 42 that even mentions Brie Larson and you’ll see that clip.) Meanwhile, supervillains aren’t immune because of how the people behind the Joker movie approached that film. So why is it the public wants to see superhero stories but Hollywood increasingly doesn’t want to make them?
