Episode It's a Wonderful Life (1946) | Ep. 70 - Part 2
Back to Bedford Falls for the second half. John, Luke, Westy, and Matt continue the story of Capra's Christmas classic, turning to the people who made it and the ending that earns an angel his wings.
We dig into the crew behind the film — the screenplay, the score, and the innovative snow that changed Hollywood forever — before breaking down the finale, the reception, and why the FBI thought this film was Communist propaganda (yep, really). Plus whether George Bailey's breakdown is cinema's greatest acting moment, and the hosts' final verdict and scores.
If you've not heard Part 1 — the beginning, the director, the cast, and the middle — go back and start there.
