Happy Holidays from Wool-Shift-Dust! In this winter special, Elysia and Luke explore one of the original alternate timeline stories: the iconic It's a Wonderful Life (1946), plus the other films it spawned – including remake It Happened One Christmas (1977), the amusingly terrible unofficial sequel Clarence (1990), and the looser remakes It's a Very Merry Muppets Christmas (2002), The Christmas Spirit (2013), and the 2023 horror comedy It's a Wonderful Knife. Don't worry if you haven't seen any of them – we'll recap them all, and then talk about why you should care, and all the good, the bad, and the ugly within.Also, Elysia explains "The Greatest Gift," the short story It's a Wonderful Life is based on, (with a special performance by DeadEyeJediBob) – plus the song "Auld Lang Syne" – in the Wool-Shift-Dust Book Club.See also...Planet Money talks the economics of It's a Wonderful LifeIt's a Wonderful Life, the musicalIt's a Wonderful Life: The Lost EndingThis You Call a Wonderful Life?The Trump satireComedy Central satire"Franz Kafka’s It’s A Wonderful Life"Find us on Twitter @elysiacb and @LUKEMIDDUPAnd discuss the show with us on DiscordOr email us at WoolShiftDustPodcast@gmail.com.Published by The LorehoundsProduced by Elysia BrennerIntro & outro music: "Land of Ice and Snow" by HygieusMusicAdditional SFX from Freesound.orgFind us also on the podcasts... The Lorehounds (Elysia)It Could Be Said (Luke)Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
