The director of "Porky's" may seem an unlikely choice for a holiday slice of 1940's life, but in 1983, it worked. Bob Clark's "A Christmas Story" would be destined for success, sequels, and cable TV marathons thanks to its charming cast and oh-so-quotable script based on the writing of Jean Shepherd. But now, decades later, does the umpteenth viewing make us want to shoot our eyes out? Is Raphie adorable or a gun-toting terror? And is there more to The Old Man than just yelling? The Old Roommates grab two mugs of Ovaltine and revisit the holiday classic through a middle-aged lens. Listen to this.
