80's Flick Flashback

This 80’s flick was meant to be just another chapter in the misadventures of Clark W. Griswold and his family, but it has become one of the most surprisingly popular and most quoted holiday movies of all time. So this Christmas we are returning to Chicago for a special abbreviated version of the episode we recorded in 2021. So dig up your oversized Christmas tree, fill up your Wally World glass mugs with eggnog, and carve the overcooked turkey as Tim Williams and guest co-host, Bethany Wells, discuss “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation” from 1989 on this special replay episode of the 80’s Flick Flashback podcast!
