Prancer (1989)

Prancer (1989)

2023-12-1958:22

About two years ago, Buzzn The Tower had the absolute honor of having Rebecca Tickell on the show. If you don't know who Rebecca is, let me refresh your memory. In 1989 there was a movie called Prancer. It's about a farm girl who nurses a wounded reindeer she believes is one of Santa's, hoping to bring it back to health in time for Christmas. Her holiday spirit inspires those around her, something her disheartened father is having trouble understanding. You might remember her father, Sam Elliot, from such movies as Road House. And as far as the little girl with shine in her eye and Christmas in her heart, that's none other than Rebecca Tickell playing the role of Jessica Riggs. Two years ago we were lucky enough to have Rebecca on the show and now we have our first Buzzn The Tower holiday tradition! Each year we will dust off our interview, and give you all the pure joy of hearing from Jessica Riggs herself! Enjoy and Merry Christmas!
It's A Wonderful Life, A Christmas Story, Home Alone, The Santa Claus, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, Die Hard?

And if they are, what are the long reaching ramifications of such a proclamation. Today on Buzzn The Tower we step away from our typical light hearted banter and address one of the most controversial topics we have ever tackled, is Die Hard a Christmas movie? I'm Mo Shapiro and joining me as always the sugar, enriched flour, partially hydrogenated vegetable oil, polysorbate 60 and yellow dye No. 5 to my otherwise healthy diet, Max Sanders. And with that...
