## Resource

John Hughes. Steve Martin. John Candy. A shower curtain ring salesman, a grumpy ad exec, and the most emotionally devastating comedy of 1987. This movie has 93% on Rotten Tomatoes but only 72% on Meteoritic. So where will we end up on it? (The Patreons will NOT be happy with AJ). We dig into what makes this film so beloved - and whether it holds up if you've never seen it before. Also: why Project Hail Mary is the best 80s film we've seen in years, and a deep dive into Roger Moore-era Bond. Next week: Inspired by the oddball partnership of Neal and Del, we pick our fantasy travel companions from the movies! (And no, they're not all women!)
