About this episode

The episode discusses the classic Christmas movie 'It's a Wonderful Life' and its cultural significance.

The Christmas movie to end all Christmas movies. We've all seen it and most of us love it. This holiday season we attempt to do justice to the greatest(?) X-mas flick, It's a Wonderful Life. What makes this Rach's favorite Christmas movie? Why would Ty's first act as president be an executive order making this required viewing? Why did a movie that bombed at the box office become the national sensation that it is? And how closely are Reed and Stewart doppelgängers for Rach and Ty? We get into all of the backstory that you can handle on this one. This might be our greatest episode of all time. Thanks for making us the richest folks in town.
