  • Summary

  • In this holiday episode, Stuart and Jacob take a deep dive into the heartwarming classic "It's a Wonderful Life" and its lesser-known 1977 television remake, "It Happened One Christmas". They explore the timeless themes of community, sacrifice, and the impact of one person's life. How does the gender-swapped version hold up against the original? And what makes the 1946 classic a staple of holiday viewing? Is it the divine intervention or the iconic performance of Jimmy Stewart that continues to resonate with audiences today?


    Also in this episode, they discuss the surprising quality of the 1977 TV remake, the challenges of adapting such a beloved film, the potential pitfalls of a modern-day remake, and a lighthearted debate on what makes the perfect Hallmark holiday movie and a humorous pitch for their own holiday film concept. All this and more on They Remade It!
