Episode 144 - Greg Sestero in "It's a Krazunka-Wunkerful Life"

Those lovable knock-off puppets The Krazunka Wunkas are back, this time to butcher the timeless 1946 holiday classic, “It’s A Wonderful Life!” Helping out Batty Fledermaus, Oddzo the Odd-nificent and Jingo the Hawk is none other than actor Greg Sestero (“Disaster Artist,” “The Room”). Featuring an original musical number sung off-key and with great enthusiasm by the Revival League Players! Yes folks, “It’s A Krazunka Wunkerful Life!”

When the going gets tough, George Bailey gets jumping! Right off a bridge. On Christmas Eve. With his small-town business facing scandal and financial ruin, George grows desperate and considers suicide just for the life insurance to benefit his family. It’s up to the good people of Puppet Falls and Jingo the Guardian Angel to show George the value of his life. Will Mr. Potter, the meanest man in town, succeed in destroying George? Will George’s wife Mary convince her husband he is loved and valued? Will crazy Uncle Billy ever quit talking to the inchworm in his pants? This heart-warming holiday tale of exploding fathers, extended flashbacks and bad Jimmy Stewart impersonations will warm your heart and convince you that gratitude and generosity will always win out over bitterness and broken dreams. (Well, unless you’re George Bailey).

Also featuring a cavalcade of spoof 1940s commercials written and performed by the Revival League Players.
