Bundle up with some cocoa and sleigh on into this festive episode of Paperback Flicks! Besties Rae and Ruth, two forty-something friends with strong opinions and warm holiday vibes, dive into the timeless Christmas classic Miracle on 34th Street—from page to screen. They crack open the book and then compare the original 1947 black-and-white film to the glossy, feel-good 1994 remake, debating Santa realness, courtroom drama, Macy's magic, and which version truly jingles their bells. Expect cozy nostalgia, twinkly holiday cheer, a little righteous indignation, and plenty of laughs as Rae and Ruth ask the big seasonal questions: Does belief make the miracle? Which Kris Kringle reigns supreme? And how much Christmas spirit is too much Christmas spirit? So light the tree, grab a blanket, and press play—it's a holly-jolly, bookish movie night you won't want to miss.

Where the Heart Is… and Where the Movie Went. In this episode of Paperback Flicks, best friends and co-hosts Rae and Ruth (two book-obsessed forty-somethings who still quote early-2000s movies like they're current events) dive into Billie Letts' beloved novel Where the Heart Is—and its 2000 film adaptation starring Natalie Portman, Ashley Judd, and an extremely questionable Wal-Mart security protocol. Grab your snack of choice (preferably something you could plausibly steal from a Wal-Mart shelf), and settle in for a heartfelt, funny, and slightly chaotic book-to-movie deep dive—just the way Rae and Ruth like it.
