Summary
This year’s Thanksgiving episode finds Justus and David discussing the classic John Hughes comedy that, despite its title, features precisely ONE plane, ONE train, and multiple automobiles. Plus, they recount their own Planes, Trains and Automobiles-esque experience driving in an electric car that almost caused a seismic rift in their friendship. Remember Del Griffith’s motto: like your job, love your wife, and listen to the Greatest Movie Ever Made! Planes, Trains and Automobiles (1987) is directed by John Hughes and stars Steve Martin, John Candy, Laila Robins, Michael McKean, and Dylan Baker Music: “Fractals” by Kyle Casey and White Bat Audio
