We continue our deep dive into the Ralphieverse as Jean Shepherd continues his saga of the Parker family and their teenage son Ralph with 1985’s The Star-Crossed Romance of Josephine Cosnowski. This time around, Shep tackles Thanksgiving dinner and Ralph’s newly discovered obsession with the exotic Polish girl from East Chicago who just so happened to move next door.

Our journey through the Ralphieverse continues with an installment that gives A Christmas Story a run for its money; The Great American Fourth of July and Other Disasters. Fireworks, awkward teenage hijinks and wash rag mania runs wild as Ralphie experiences a summer that will stick with him the rest of his life.

Many of you may not be aware, but the tales of Ralphie Parker did not begin with, nor did they end with, A Christmas Story. They actually came to life for the first time 7 years earlier in a made for TV movie only aired on certain public television stations around the country. This week, we begin our deep dive into the Ralphieverse with the first of those (five) films, Jean Shepard's 1976 The Phantom of the Open Hearth.
