Chet, a Baby Boomer, and Dee, a Millennial, share their perspectives on classic films. They'll tell you why they think these films are worth seeing and what we can learn from them. Although you'll hear a little trivia and a bit of talk about film-making and story-telling technique, the emphasis is on the value of the films as cultural artifacts. What do they tell us about the times in which they were made? What lessons can they still teach us today?

15: "It's A Wonderful Life" (1946) Classic Movie Recommendation Holiday Edition
As the 2020 holiday season dawns, Chet and Dee begin their discussion of classic Christmas movies with "It's a Wonderful Life." While every Christmas film tries to convince us to not be jerks, Frank Capra's 1946 masterpiece offers us one of the least jerky characters ever in George Bailey, a guy who's postponed most of his personal dreams for the sake of his family, neighbors and hometown. Unfortunately, a crisis has left George wondering if any of it mattered, and he's going to need an angel to help him regain his faith. Chet and Dee talk about Capra saw the world and why they love his film, even if they read it a little differently than he did.
