    • It's A Wonderful Life - Laura's Top Twenty - #1

      First off, apologies this one gets cut off, but you really don't miss anything, we were basically done and wrapping up.

      Lauras does a bit of a deep dive into her favorite movie of all time and it's a really good conversation. The thing about this film that folks tend to forget is...how truly amazing it really is. We've all seen, most of us multiple times and it's easy to dismiss it cause we have all seen it. But, truly, watch it again with a critical eye and you will remember how amazing it really is.

      Enjoy.
