Paul and Corey Cross the Streams is a bi-monthly podcast in which hosts Paul Pakler and Corey Pepper watch and review streaming content. It’s the Great American Podcast where two friends learn about life as they float down the river of streaming services.
Having amassed more than 100 episodes in its run, PACCTS’ sixth season will focus its sights on “the greatest films of all time” (both in the US and internationally), as assembled by the British Film Institute’s 2022 Sight and Sound Poll of industry critics. Corey will be choosing American films from the list, and Paul will be choosing international ones.
Our goal is to examine the films that are considered great, and why that may be the case.
We did it, folks! With this episode, Paul and Corey have now watched all of Paul’s Letterboxd Top 4 – and this, his favorite-favorite.
Ranked 133, Frank Capra’s It’s a Wonderful Life. The ex post facto Christmas classic (thanks to copyright issues).
Paul and Corey dive deep into the frozen pond of the film to figure out just why Paul loves it so much and (spoiler!) why Corey didn’t.
Honestly, don’t even know what else to say other than this is a great episode, so go listen!
