On this episode of the podcast, Jon and Jamie discuss the once-under loved (now perhaps over-discussed) 'Christmas film' and American classic It's a Wonderful Life.
In the midst of the post-war middle American Dream, did a mix of conservative and communist film makers and writers accidentality (or otherwise) make a heartfelt tribute to the human spirit and power of community? Or is it actually more reactionary than that? Along the way we discuss how the film was investigated by the FBI and how well it avoids easy categorisation and what pay structure is applied to angels.
