On this very special holiday episode of Deep Thoughts, Emily and Tracie take a deeper look at the 1983 classic, A Christmas Story. The sisters discuss what is relatable in the sweet, funny tale of 9-year-old Ralphie’s quest for the coveted Red Ryder carbine-action, 200-shot range model air rifle, but they also talk about how casual racism, outdated gender dynamics, and a Yule-centric storyline casts a pall on the otherwise delightful nostalgia.
