Summary

In the latest episode of Film Stories with Simon Brew, the film that marked Bill Murray's return to the screen after four years away, and a movie that once had Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt set to star. 1988's Scrooged is now a popular Christmas favourite. But the making of it was fraught with difficulties. As for 2019's Le Mans 66 - well, even the title continues to cause trouble! Stories of both are discussed in this episode.
