Katie and Bridget shoot their eyes out as they re-watch the holiday classic: A Christmas Story! It's a movie so iconic and overplayed around Christmas that we guarantee you've probably fallen asleep at least ONCE while watching it! Come along as we meet Ralphie, a kid obsessed with getting the one thing he wants for Christmas: An official Red Ryder, carbine action, two-hundred shot range model air rifle with a compass in the stock and a "thing" that tells time. Over the days leading up to Christmas we follow Ralphie through all typical kid things, such as: surviving and then (eventually) beating up bullies, NOT being an upstander for his friends, getting scammed by capitalistic corporations, and learning how Mom's deal with stupid decisions by their husbands (Pst - Just break the lamp!). After psychological warfare, coercion through badly written essays, and even attempting to enlist Santa on his mission, Ralphie eventually gets his gift and to absolutely no one's surprise - he shoots his eye out. This timeless classic continues to make us laugh even to this day! Released in 1983, it stars Peter Billingsley, Melinda Dillon, Darren McGavin, Scott Schwartz, RD Robb, and Zack Ward.
