On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are just trying to get home in time for Thanksgiving. We watched the 1987 film from John Hughes, Planes, Trains & Automobiles.

In the great arc of our lives, we should all strive to be more like John Candy and a whole lot less like Steve Martin. At least, how they are in this classic ‘80s comedy.

I get it—Steve’s character, Neal, is dealing with the worst kind of travel headache. He could sure stand to be a lot more jovial, kind, and forgiving. Does he have to lose all their money, burn down a car, and destroy a hotel room? Maybe not, but he’d be a lot less stressed.

We’re taking a wild ride from New York to Chicago with these two buffoons. This episode is more fun than selling shower rings as earrings.
