Welcome to another episode of The Read Carpet! Today, Mad and Cass are jumping back in time to 1813 and 2005, but not 1996 because Cass is somehow still slacking on watching the BBC Miniseries. Someday, you'll have that episode to bless your ears as well. Until then, you'll have to listen to the screeching about one of the all time best movie moments ever: the hand flex. Happy listening!

Note: We want to make clear to all our listeners, that while we do love Harry Potter, we do not agree with or support the author's recent statements. These stories taught us about love, friendship, bravery, and acceptance, so it disheartens us to see these types of statements that are the exact opposite of that. We encourage you to seek out opportunities to support the trans community in your local areas or in states where trans rights are being targeted.

In this installment of The Read Carpet, Mad and Cass are revisiting an absolute smash hit of a childhood favorite. They devoted the time to reading A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens purely so that they could discuss The Muppet Christmas Carol, a true cinematic masterpiece. Listen along for lots of laughs and Muppet humor! 
And don't forget, Merry Chrysler and Happy Honda Days!

In this episode of The Read Carpet, we're taking a trip back to Mad's childhood to analyze how good of an adaptation Ella Enchanted really is. It's Cass's first time reading the book, and frankly, you all HAVE to check out the audiobook for this one, because it is a gem. This was also recorded on 10/21/22, so enjoy the first few minutes of screaming about Taylor Swift and Midnights.
