Is "It's A Wonderful Life" A Christmas Movie?

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Feasts of Film is giving you the best gift of all this Holiday season with new episodes just for Christmas! Cole, Joshua, and newcomer on the podcast Randy all get together to share laughs, jolly good fun, duke it out in intellectual arguments to see which movies actually qualify as Christmas movies and which ones are just movies with a little Christmas sprinkled in. That's right it's time to look at some Controversial Christmas Movies!

A new format for this Christmas season means new movies so listen in as Joshua and Randy debate whether It's A Wonderful Life is a Christmas classic or if we have been wrong this whole time to consider it a Christmas flick. 

It's A Wonderful Life follows the life go George Bailey as he dreams of traveling the world but keeps getting tied down to his hometown. At his breaking point he decides to just give up on life altogether. But when an angel reveals what life would be like without George Bailey he is shown it's a wonderful life after all.

For our arguments each debater will have opening and closing arguments and will argue their side with three points. With only have three minutes for each point our debaters must make the most of each moment! Once the closing arguments have been made the judge for this week Colton, will decided once and for all if It's A Wonderful Life is a Christmas Movie or not. After the debate we will share our favorite moments from the movie and calculate our final score for the film.

We hope you enjoy this episode and look forward to more Controversial Christmas Movies over the next few weeks!
