Miracle on 34th Street - Film Review (1994) | Is This a John Hughes' Miracle Remake?

Описание: In this cozy holiday episode, host Katie welcomes back regular guest Ryan Rabalkin to dive into the 1994 John Hughes-scripted remake of Miracle on 34th Street, exploring why this nineties update of the 1947 classic became its own nostalgic time capsule filled with Christmas magic. The duo opens a 1994 time capsule with top VHS rentals like Sleepless in Seattle, The Fugitive, and Forrest Gump, iconic commercials like Skittles' "Taste the Rainbow," and headline making events including the Nancy Kerrigan attack, the O.J. Simpson chase, and Kurt Cobain's death, before dissecting the film's cast, led by Richard Attenborough's heartfelt Kris Kringle, Elizabeth Perkins, Dylan McDermott, and young Mara Wilson, its philosophical courtroom drama on faith and belief, comparisons to the sharper original, romantic subplot quirks, and whether it's truly a kids' movie or an adult reflection on the spirit of Christmas.
