Miracle on 34th Street

All this month the Dang Fellas (nomenclature still under review) will be talking classic holiday entertainment, and we're kicking it off with Miracle on 34th Street, the movie that legally PROVED Santa Claus is REAL because the POST OFFICE gives him MAIL!!! Topics include the power of politics over raw facts, the fun of Santa Claus, and the overall medium-temperature feelings we all have about Santa Claus, what with being Jewish and everything.

Matt recommends Emmet Otter's Jug Band Christmas, available to stream on Amazon Prime and available for rent or purchase on all major digital platforms.

David recommends the "Santa/Petting Zoo" episode of Nathan For You, available to stream on HBO Max and available for rent or purchase on all major digital platforms.

Dan recommends watching West Side Story (1961) before chasing it with future Christmas release West Side Story (2021), and then maybe washing it all down with the entirety of the Twin Peaks saga, starring Richard Beymer and Russ Tamblyn. The original West Side Story is available for rent or purchase on iTunes and Amazon, and you can stream all three seasons of Twin Peaks on Hulu or Paramount Plus. (And you can do Fire Walk With Me on HBO Max!)
