Media Ghouls Episode 238 - Planes, Trains and Automobiles

Published: Nov. 25, 2021, 5:04 p.m.

The holiday season is upon us this week as the Ghouls take a look at one of the few great Thanksgiving classics. Based on a real life experience, Planes, Trains and Automobiles chronicles the desperate journey of two men trying to make it home for Thanksgiving dinner. John Hughes writes and directs the legendary Steve Martin and John Candy in one of the best comedies of the '80s. With well-aged humor, a performance that is equal parts hilarious and dramatic from the late Candy, and an ending that still tugs at our heartstrings, this is one holiday classic that is always worthy of a watch.
