Today's episode is our last one for 2022 so of course, we're talking about the holidays and how they're portrayed on film! We're excited to have historian Vaughn Joy on to talk specifically about the impact of Christmas movies, how the government influenced the cultural sector in the nuclear age, and how those ramifications are still having ripple effects today. We also discuss how pop culture changes social attitudes and conveys the politics of the moment as seen through the lens of innocuous media like what you consume around the holidays. Lastly, we dive into how we'd like to see more representation on screen in terms of holiday films including different religions, different secular traditions, and different communities at the center of the story.
