National Lampoon‘s Christmas Vacation: Spending The Holidays With The Griswolds

It's Christmastime and there's no family we'd rather spend the holiday with than the Griswolds! That's right, the ReconCinemation team unites to look back at arguably the greatest Christmas film of all time, NATIONAL LAMPOON'S CHRISTMAS VACATION! Joined by very special guest Matt Donnelly, Jon, David & Brent take a deep-dive into the origins of the story from John Hughes & the National Lampoon magazine, the evolution of the series through the 1980s, the career of Chevy Chase, the relatability of Clark W. Griswold & so much more! Plus, early memories of the film, the incredible cast, the strange timeline of the vacation series, how it holds up today & more!

 

Yule crack up... it's NATIONAL LAMPOON'S CHRISTMAS VACATION!
