A Christmas Story Influenced by BYU's Christmas Snows Christmas Winds? w/ Nick Jones


Listen Later

Nick Jones co-host of the Rock & Roll podcast "Pod of Thunder" joins Steven Pynakker to discuss the profound BYU film production "Christmas Snows, Christmas Winds" which is based on a short story in the book "Frost in the Orchard" by Donald R. Marshall. Nick came across this film a few years ago and wanted to come on to discuss it. Nick and Steven are from Northwest Indiana, birthplace of American writer and radio personality Jean Shepherd. He is best known for writing the story that the holiday classic movie "A Christmas Story" is based on. We note some similarities that the two films share and how it is a pretty authentic period piece. We also discuss how unusual of a Christmas film it is. It doesn't end with a happy ending and is open ended without resolution. This hidden gem deserves to become a cult classic!
