Do you think the best movies deserve a live stage musical version of themselves?

Are you a fan of Ralphie, Randy, Mother and the Old man -- and especially of their singing?

Listen in as Dani and Katie revisit the musical and its roots, and weigh in on how it felt to perform in this iconic show.

Were you watching TV shows you had no business watching in the second grade because your older sibling controlled the remote?

Did your middle-school diary pages include angry rants about the thighmaster your older sister received for Christmas?

If you can sing along to every Gen X ballad, even though you were born a little later, you might be a Xennial with an older Gen X sibling. And Dani is too.

Special thanks to today's special guest, Tara—our favorite Gen X sibling!

Katie created a special guessing game to commemorate this visit. Which sister knows more about the other? Find out!
