Has anyone read or heard Jean Shepherd’s other work? Any recommend place to begin?
He was the one who wrote the stories and narrated.

The book’s much better than the movie anyway.
“In God We Trust-All Others Pay Cash” by Jean Shepherd
It’s really a collection of short stories, but all the episodes in the movie are there in greater detail.
Much more about Shep here:

Remember the scene where Jeff Bridges yells at the scientist at Stark Industries, “Tony Stark was able to build this in a cave! With a box of scraps!!”
He was yelling at Ralphie. (who shaved his head to look older)
