Dan and Alonso continue their look at Christmas movies, but with a twist this week: the classic is the one everybody knows, and the more recent film might have slipped under your radar. We discuss the melancholic undertones and redemption arcs of Frank Capra's beloved IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE (1946) and Charles Poekel's understated indie CHRISTMAS, AGAIN (2014). Give us a five-star review on Apple Podcasts (or wherever you get the show) and follow us @filmandmoviepod on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.
