Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer

Our Christmas coverage begins! Ian revisits the 1964 special Rudolph the Red-Nose Reindeer for an episode that's more stylistically in line with our Rankin/Bass episodes than the first one we did in 2020.

Ian still has a lot of complex feelings about this special, namely it's Axis of Awful (Santa, Donner, and Coach Comet). It's definitely problematic, but there's a reason people love this one so much.

Be sure to check out all of EI's Rankin/Bass holiday episodes.
