Description

It's the return of the Planet Money Movie Club! In this bonus episode, Kenny Malone, Wailin Wong and Sam Yellowhorse Kesler, discuss Lifetime's Christmas on the Alpaca Farm. Don't worry if you haven't seen it! This club is less about the movie itself (although it's fun and very Christmas-y), and more about the interesting economics it raises. We talk about the business of TV holiday rom-coms, the alpaca bubble that burst, fiber economics, and more!
