One of the most prominent cultural markers of the Christmas season is the annual onslaught of Christmas-themed movies and TV specials that fill the programming schedules of most major networks and appear in the on-demand catalogs of cable operator and streaming service providers. From the timeless classics like It's a Wonderful Life and White Christmas to the extremely popular (and cheesy and sappy and predictable and inexplicably inthralling) Hallmark Christmas movies of our contemporary era, there is no shortage of options for anyone interested in a seasonal binge of visual Christmas entertainment.
For many people, watching specific Christmas movies and specials has become an integral part of their Christmas celebration each year. A quotable quote from a notable character in once such Christmas movie is the subject of Episode 7 of That's Worth Repeating. In this episode, Richard and Brian discuss the moral clarity and conviction of the beloved Buddy the Elf from the 2003 classic, Elf.
