It's a Wonderful Life (THE WAR ON CHRISTMAS SPECIAL)


Listen Later

TRANSMITTING FROM THE TRENCHES OF THE WAR ON CHRISTMAS. Coffee cups that are no longer as Christmas-y as they should be, gingerbread cookies with pronouns, communists who attack the eugenicist politics of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer... we don't talk about those things, BUT we do talk about the 1946 classic, It's a Wonderful Life.

Also discussed: group activities to conduct during a screening of Gaspar Noe's Climax, the Federalists (again), and Pat's most liked Letterboxd review.

Some links for today's ep:

  • A thoughtful piece from Parker Molloy on the historical origins of the War on Christmas, which this ep pulls from a good bit
  • A data story on the War on Christmas as of 2024
