EVERY DAY!

How has Ralphie changed over the years? In many ways, he’s very similar. He has a wife, children, but he’s still very much a dreamer and still pretty relentless. If the answer’s no, he keeps pushing. He knows what he wants, [and] he’s trying to figure out his way to get it.

Is there anything from the 1983 movie that still makes you laugh? I’ve always had a fondness for Darren McGavin’s portrayal of the old man [Ralphie’s father] and his relationship with Ralphie. He’s the one character in the movie that Ralphie never asks for the [Red Ryder BB gun], and he’s the one who actually gives it to him. There’s something about that father-son relationship that I love.
