About this episode

The episode discusses the 1994 remake of Miracle on 34th Street and its nostalgic impact.

Today we’re heading into holiday territory with the 1994 remake of Miracle on 34th Street, the version that tried to bring Kris Kringle into the ‘90s and ended up becoming its own nostalgic time capsule. Let’s dig into the movie, the era and why this version still delivers cozy Christmas vibes decades later. My guest today is a familiar voice: my regular podcast partner-in-crime, Ryan Rebalkin - whom I join every other Sunday on One More Round, the Rocky Series Podcast . Ryan wears many hats! He's a proud father of 6 wonderful kids and also serves in the Navy. But wait, there's more! He's also a podcast host and a YouTube reactor, sharing his thoughts and opinions with the world. When he's not busy entertaining his audience, you can find him running with his with his dog, and cuddling with his cats. In addition to Rocky & Rambo, he hosts a show called The Worst of the Best as well as The Director's Chair Network , most recently covering a number of directors including Ed Zwick, Michael Mann, and soon to be Terrence Malick.
