Ep 037 // Planes, Trains and Automobiles

Published: Sept. 13, 2021, noon

In Jacob's next movie pick, he proves that John Candy was indeed a real actor and not just a figment of his imagination. To do this, Jacob has to take us back to 1987 in John Hughes slapstick comedy, Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, or as Sage would like to call it, Planes, Trains and Mostly Automobiles. In this review, the boys cover all of the comedic highlights from the movie and the heartfelt story underlying it all, along with debating Thanksgiving food and the best and worst holidays. If you listen until the end, you'll get to hear about the surprising 10-point bump from Sage and a little bit of banjo from our main man Steve Martin.

This movie was directed by John Hughes.
