HOLIDAY SPECIAL: MEET JOHN DOE (DIR: Frank Capra, 1941)

In a special Christmas Episode, Corbin and Matt talk about MEET JOHN DOE, a 1941 Frank Capra Christmas Joint, staring screen goddess Barbara Stanwyck and the thinking man's John Wayne, Gary Cooper. We talk about Capra's worldview, where soceiry can fix all its problens so long as it doesn't dip intonthe morass of "Politics" or whatever. "Meet John Doe" can be seen here on Criterion, or here, on the Internet Archive, because someone forgot to renew the copyright in the seventies.

Coming up next week: Cure, a horror masterpiece about Carl Jung.
