Josh Faure-Brac and the SuperNews team have placed their longest episode yet under the YouTube tree. It’s a spoof of Frank Capra’s 1946 film It’s a Wonderful life. While the original film was actually a box-office disappointment, this episode, It’s a Horrible Life, delivers with dialog like “You can’t abort me - I’m in my 187th trimester” and “I wish I was never born-did.”
