While I will fully admit my own bias being a fan of James Stewart/Jimmy Stewart and of It's A Wonderful Life, regardless, this podcast was enjoyable from start to finish.
Since I would encourage anyone to listen to it, this review will not divulge any spoilers, but this creative venture capitalizing on the producer's dreams, to some extent was classic Americana but most definitely in a good way.
This podcast took the opportunity to look at the film, the history of the film and the short story behind it, differing views on the film, the characters in the film, features a variety of guests connected to the film, examines as many of the various messages of the film that it could, shows what has been seen as the triumph of the American spirit over adversity while also being real and realistic about modern life in comparison to life in prior generations and various positives and negatives of each, and the overall approach it takes to do so is both endearing and very heartwarming.
Furthermore, this podcast leads the listener to be finding, seeing, acknowledging, realizing, and accepting the people who are George Bailey's in their lives, whom they are probably a George Bailey for, to examine all or at least as many of both the light and dark George Bailey moments in their lives and to understand and to appreciate them for they were, are, and will be;, and it encourages the listener to not only shake the dust off to see the world but to also try to figure out where that might lead them, how it might affect others in their lives, and to reflect upon just how wonderful their lives are.
Congratulations to all those involved in this project.
May your message and the messages of It's A Wonderful Life, continue to be spread for years to come.
Stay safe and stay awesome.
