Rankin/Bass and their Classic Holiday TV Specials

Hosted by Pat and Mike Gross Episode 7

We dive in on our second Christmas/Holiday episode, to talk about Arthur Rankin, Jr. and Jules Bass. Creators of iconic "stop-motion" animated holiday specials like 1964's "Rudolf, The Red-Nosed Reindeer". We talk about the influence those specials had on popular culture and beyond. We also make a bold statement regarding filmmaker Jon Favreau.
