Rankin/Bass - Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer & Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town

Rankin/Bass - Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer & Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town

 

For the second part of our 2023 holiday celebration, we’re talking about the Rankin/Bass Christmas specials “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” (1964) and “Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town” (1970). Hannah and Cullen reminisce about holiday traditions, break down the unhinged-ness of these stop-motion animation films, and finally unravel a decades-long conspiracy about the dictator Santa featured in Rudolph. #NotMySanta
