Welcome to the Planet Money Movie Club, a regular series from Planet Money+ in which we watch an economics-related movie and discuss! On today's episode, Kenny Malone, Wailin Wong, and Willa Rubin watch Frank Capra's 1946 classic 'It's A Wonderful Life.' They discuss CPI adjustments, how a copyright lapse helped make the film more popular, and what exactly a 'Building and Loan' is.
This episode was produced by Brent Baughman, edited by Jess Jiang with help from Keith Romer, engineered by Kwesi Lee, and fact-checked by Sierra Juarez.
Music: "Tethys"
