Hee haw, hee haw! It's our final Christmas movie of the year, Frank Capra's beloved 1946 film, It's A Wonderful Life. A classic now, but maybe not so successful in its time. Amy and Steve look back at what makes this movie an enduring American story, the aw-shucks greatness of Jimmy Stewart, why anyone would ever think Donna Reed was just a 'plain' girl that no one would want to dance with; we wonder why Steve's mother really dislikes this film, and why we remember things about this movie a bit differently than they actually happen. It's a fun discussion on the emotional power and timelessness that only film can provide a society, and our final episode of the year. Like us? Dislike us?
