We discuss the road to Vittorio de Sica getting to make the film, and the many bumps along the way. After we cover background, we get into the plot and execution of the film plot-point by plot-point. We end the episode with two pairings for "Bicycle Thieves."

In this episode, we cover our final Christmas movie of the season, the holiday classic, "Jingle All the Way."

We also pair two films with "Jingle All the Way" for a fabulous holiday double bill.
