I grew up with the schlocky Rankin & Bass animated holiday specials… you know the ones… “Year Without A Santa Claus,” “Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer,” and “Frosty the Snowman.” They served their purpose, but now they’re really outdated. A few years ago, Mad TV unveiled the first of dozens of shorts produced and directed by Corky Quakenbush. One of them was a “re-imagined” version of “Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer” directed by Martin Scorsese called Raging Rudolph.*
