You might not be traveling this week, so we decided to cross the country with Steve Martin and John Candy in the road trip classic, Planes, Trains & Automobiles (1987). We discuss our own travel mishaps, the ridiculously long original version of this film, and our favorite Thanksgiving foods.  Also Play:Cinema Chain Game--------------------------------------------Subscribe, rate, and review:Apple Podcasts: Our Film FathersSpotify: Our Film FathersYouTube: Our Film Fathers---------------------------------------------Follow Us:Instagram: @ourfilmfathersTwitter / X: @ourfilmfathersEmail: ourfilmfathers@gmail.com

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! We'd like to kick off the holiday with the (sort-of) only Thanksgiving movie, the John Hughes 1987 classic, Planes, Trains and Automobiles. We dissect Steve Martin's slow descent into madness, John Candy's weaponized cheerfulness, and the eternal question: why does every mode of transportation hate these men? You also get to hear Gil experience a new level of hatred. Give us a listen on your way to get stuffed with Thanksgiving food!

Few movies capture the chaos, heart, and humor of the holidays quite like Planes, Trains, and Automobiles. Steve Martin's tightly wound Neal Page and John Candy's endlessly lovable Del Griffith deliver one of the greatest odd-couple road trips ever put on film — a journey packed with missed flights, broken-down cars, and moments that somehow make you laugh uncontrollably and tear up at the same time. It's loud, ridiculous, heartfelt, endlessly quotable, and somehow only gets better with age. This movie isn't just a Thanksgiving watch; it's a Thanksgiving tradition that reminds us that sometimes the people who drive us the most crazy are the ones we're most grateful for. From all of us here at Kibbe & Friends, we want to wish you and your family a warm, happy, and safe Thanksgiving. Whether you're traveling across the country or just heading down the street, we hope your week is filled with good food, good laughs, and the kind of memories that only come from time spent with the people who matter most. Drive safe, hug your people, and don't forget to enjoy the ride. The post K&F Show #347: Thanksgiving Special Car Movie Review – “Planes, Trains, and Automobiles!” first appeared on The Muscle Car Place.

Burning Bright and Chris Paul sit down for a spirited Thanksgiving-week discussion of Planes, Trains and Automobiles, unpacking John Hughes' classic through humor, film analysis, psychology, and cultural commentary. They break down the movie's “comedy of errors” structure, the over-the-top schmaltz of its emotional beats, and how Steve Martin and John Candy embody two archetypes forced together on a chaotic hero's journey. The hosts dive into the film's mythic storytelling roots, its portrayal of 1980s Americana, the contrast between Neil's polished corporate frustration and Del's messy human warmth, and the way both men represent missing pieces in each other's lives. Along the way, BB and Chris veer into side-rants about Reagan-era prosperity aesthetics, the lost art of character-driven movies, airline misery, AI shaping society since the 1950s, the asymmetry of technology, how modern films misunderstand character, and even how turkeys, pardons, Venezuela, and election narratives tie into today's psyop-ridden media landscape. A sharp, funny, reflective episode blending film breakdown, cultural analysis, and classic Badlands banter.

Welcome to another holiday episode of FCP! This week we are discussing the 1987 Thanksgiving classic movie Planes, Trains, and Automobiles by John Hughes and starring Steve Martin and John Candy. We also discuss which characters we would like to have Thanksgiving with and explore the box office for the remainder of the year. We hope you enjoy the podcast, have an incredible holiday, and thanks for listening. Happy Thanksgiving!!

SCTV's Dave Thomas talks about making bold life choices, growing up in Canada, Shakespeare saving his ass, choosing between big money success as an ad man or being a broke improviser at Second City, becoming head writer on SCTV, Martin Short, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, John Candy, Catherine O'Hara, Eugene Levy, Joe Flaherty, Andrea Martin, Grace Under Fire, running an animation studio, turning to dramas like Bones and The Black List, going to Ukraine, Thailand, Mad Magazine, The McKenzie Brothers, Chester Hope, and how, to make it in Hollywood, you need at least two of these three things, Talent, Drive, & Luck. Bio: David William Thomas was born May 20, 1949, in St. Catharines, Ontario. He is the eldest son of British parents, Moreen Duff Muir (May 4, 1928 – May 18, 2022), a church organist for thirty years originally from Glasgow, Scotland and composer of church music, and John E. Thomas (1926–1996), a medical ethicist from Merthyr Tydfil, Wales who was head of the Philosophy Department at McMaster University, and the author of several books. Dave's younger brother, Ian Thomas, is a Canadian singer-songwriter. The family moved temporarily to Durham, North Carolina, where his father attended Duke University and earned a PhD in philosophy. The family moved back to Dundas, Ontario, in 1961, where Dave attended Dundas District high school, and later graduated with an honours Bachelor of Arts degree in English literature from McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario.[1]  Starting his career as a copywriter at ad agency McCann Erickson in 1974, Thomas became the head writer of the Coca-Cola account in Canada within a year. After watching a Second City stage show in Toronto, and while suffering from self-described "boredom" in his advertising work, he auditioned for the Second City troupe and was chosen as a performer.[2] He was a cast member of the Toronto production of Godspell, along with Victor Garber, Martin Short, Eugene Levy, Gilda Radner, and Andrea Martin.[3] Paul Shaffer was the musical director.[3 He first achieved fame as a cast member of the Canadian TV comedy series SCTV, joining Godspell castmates Levy, Martin and later Short, plus Rick Moranis, John Candy, Harold Ramis, Catherine O'Hara and others. Notable characters on the show include Doug McKenzie of beer-swilling brothers Bob and Doug McKenzie, editorialist Bill Needle, Scottish scone-chef/bluesman Angus Crock, motor-mouthed TV ad announcer Harvey K-Tel, Lowery organist/curio pitchman Tex Boil and the "Cruising Gourmet". Thomas's first film role was in Home to Stay, directed by Delbert Mann, in which Thomas played in a scene with Hollywood legend Henry Fonda. He then wrote, co-directed, and starred in the Bob & Doug McKenzie feature film Strange Brew. Soon after, he wrote for and acted in The New Show, produced by Lorne Michaels during his hiatus from Saturday Night Live. Short-lived, this show featured a powerhouse writing staff including Thomas along with Buck Henry, George Meyer, Jack Handey, Al Franken, Tom Davis, Valri Bromfield and Steve Martin. Thomas tried his hand at network television hour-long shows in 1986 when he wrote and co-executive produced Steel Collar Man for CBS. The pilot was produced but did not go to series. He co-wrote Spies Like Us (1985) with Dan Aykroyd.  In 1988, Thomas wrote another hour long show for CBS, B Men, which was back ordered, but Thomas took a directing job at Paramount, which caused the network to drop the series. He reportedly introduced John Travolta and Kelly Preston while directing them in the Paramount film The Experts.  He wrote for, produced, and starred in The Dave Thomas Comedy Show (1990). In 1991, he starred in the Showtime comedy, Public Enemy #2. In 1992, he tried his hand at reality TV and co-executive produced ABC's America's Funniest People with Vin Di Bona, but left after thirteen weeks to appear in the film Coneheads.  In 1993, he co-starred in ABC's Grace Under Fire with Brett Butler and Tom Poston and continued with the show for 5 seasons. In 1995 Thomas starred in the ABC television film Picture Perfect with Mary Page Keller and Richard Karn. In 1995 Thomas produced a pilot of a game show called Family Challenge for ABC. When ABC did not pick up the series, Thomas sold Family Challenge to the Family Channel, where he produced 144 episodes of the show spread over 2 seasons. In 1996, Thomas played the title role in the Fox television film Mr. Foster's Field Trip aka Kidz in the Wood with Julia Duffy. In 1996, he wrote the book SCTV: Behind the Scenes (McClelland & Stewart, publishers). From 1999–2002, he voiced various roles on the animated series Mission Hill. Thomas co-starred in the Paramount feature Rat Race. As of 2001, Thomas has been the Executive Creative Director of Animax Entertainment, an animation studio based officially in Culver City, California. In 2001–2002 Thomas appeared with Eugene Levy and Martin Short on Short's show Primetime Glick as Bob Hope (an impression he had first developed for SCTV with great success). In 2002, he co-starred with Jason Priestley, Dave Foley, and Ewen Bremner in Fancy Dancing. The next year he played a lead role in Beethoven's 5th. In 2003, he directed a hospital comedy feature film entitled Whitecoats, which he also wrote. As of 2004, Thomas was on the official Advisory Committee for the Comedy program at Humber College, the only such diploma program in the world. In 2004, he and Moranis again worked together voicing Rutt and Tuke, two moose based on the McKenzie Brothers, in Disney's animated feature Brother Bear.[4]  Thomas has had a long career doing voices for animation including Animaniacs, Duckman, CatDog, The Adventures of Tarzan, Justice League and multiple roles on The Simpsons, King of the Hill and Family Guy. In 2005, he had a guest stint as Charlize Theron's "Uncle Trevor" on Fox's Arrested Development. In 2006, he reprised his voice role in Brother Bear 2 and appeared as himself in the feature film The Aristocrats. He began production on ArnoldSpeaks.com, a video blog, as the voice of Arnold Schwarzenegger; Animax Entertainment won an Emmy for a broadband animated series produced for ESPN, Off Mikes.  In 2007, Thomas and Rick Moranis reprised their roles as Bob and Doug McKenzie in a one-hour special, Bob & Doug McKenzie's Two-Four Anniversary, for CBC Television. The show featured cameos from McKenzie celeb fans like Ben Stiller, Dave Foley, Tom Green, Paul Shaffer, Andy Dick, Matt Groening, Barry Pepper, Martin Short, and Geddy Lee. Former Prime Minister of Canada Paul Martin was the host. In 2008, Thomas revived Bob and Doug McKenzie in a new animated series, Bob & Doug. While Thomas reprises the character of Doug in the new series, Moranis chose not to voice the character of Bob, which instead is voiced by Dave Coulier. Moranis is, however, involved in the series as an executive producer.[5]  In November 2009, Thomas received an Honorary Doctor of Letters from his alma mater McMaster University and gave the fall convocation speech. In 2010 Animax continued to produce branded entertainment, advertising and digital shorts for corporations like Disney, Warner Brothers, NBC Universal, and Kodak. In 2011, Thomas's company Animax produced another animated show for MTV entitled Big Box along with numerous Internet shorts such as Life With Dad.[6][7]  In 2012 and 2013 Thomas guest starred in the dramatic shows Perception and Bones as well as comedy shows Comedy Bang! Bang! and How I Met Your Mother. In addition in 2013 Thomas voiced the recurring role of Jeff Foxworthy's father Jesco in the CMT show Bounty Hunters.  Thomas joined the writing staff of the Fox crime drama television series Bones beginning in 2013. Thomas worked for two seasons on Bones, writing several episodes and working on staff as consulting producer for two seasons.[8]  In 2015 Thomas joined the writing staff of NBC's The Blacklist as a consulting producer. In 2020 life-sized statues of Thomas and Rick Moranis as their characters Bob and Doug McKenzie were put in place at the ICE District Sports Arena in Edmonton, Alberta.[9] Also in 2020, the Governor-General of Canada announced that Thomas was being appointed to the Order of Canada,[10] Canada's highest civilian award. In 2021, Thomas and Max Allan Collins teamed to write a sci-fi mystery novel, The Many Lives of Jimmy Leighton.

Bobby admits he blew past a DK red flag during the Chiefs game, but it all paid off in a big way for him. For the first time, Tony Romo actually got under his skin—why the booth bit is wearing thin and how the Brady talk landed. Quick hits: Jameis chaos, a Twitter dust-up, LSU Senior Night weirdness, Pats expectations, and the one-and-done playoff question. Then Bobby’s weekend watch list—the shows and movies worth your time (plus a John Candy doc pick)—before a quick look at Oregon–USC and Dan Lanning calling out the SEC.

For the first time, Tony Romo actually got under his skin—why the booth bit is wearing thin and how the Brady talk landed. Quick hits: Jameis chaos, a Twitter dust-up, LSU Senior Night weirdness, Pats expectations, and the one-and-done playoff question. Then Bobby’s weekend watch list—the shows and movies worth your time (plus a John Candy doc pick)—before a quick look at Oregon–USC and Dan Lanning calling out the SEC.

We're closing the yearbook for our Month of Thanks by revisiting the classic Thanksgiving movie Planes, Trains, and Automobiles. This John Hughes film starring John Candy and Steve Martin is near the top of the list for movies we love here at PCY. We will even go so far as to say John Candy should have been in the Oscar conversation for this memorable role. In honor of the two great leads, our draft this week looks back at the careers of these two legends. We draft our favorite movies starring Candy and/or Martin.

Send us a textIt's Thanksgiving, and we're carving up some Planes, Trains and Automobiles, and it's not just as a holiday classic, but as a masterclass in comedic discomfort delivered by two legends at the peak of their powers: Steve Martin and John Candy. Martin is a symphony of simmering fury. A brilliant performance of the slow-motion dissolution of a WASP executive's sanity. Meanwhile, Candy's a bulldozing force of good-natured, oblivious optimism. Martin's precise, explosive rants are only possible because of Candy's seismic, childlike sincerity. Elevating what could have been a simple road trip comedy into a biting, yet ultimately heartwarming, testament to the fact that even the most insufferable human beings deserve a little mercy... but only after they've endured absolute hell.

This week on DtW, it's holiday travel at it's best/worst in Planes, Trains and Automobiles! Dan and Raul braved the winter wilds of 80s airports and depots to follow fast frenemies Del and Neal played by John Candy and Steve Martin respectively in this classic story about a trip home for Thanksgiving. The two travelers are seemingly as mismatched as their trip is fraught with implausible calamity, but they make an incredible duo on screen and might actually be just what each of these Chicago castaways needs. This one is beloved for a reason, and if you needed a reason to pop this on around turkey time, this podcast serves as an appetizer OR dessert!

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 BakerMusic: “Fractals” by Kyle Casey and White Bat Audio

Bob's Movie Club Presents: Planes, Trains, & Automobiles. John Hughes' 1987 classic didn't please the whole gang all these years later. John Candy is heart warming, but were Steve Martin's comedy chops wasted?

Bob's Movie Club Presents: Planes, Trains, & Automobiles. John Candy is heart warming, but were Steve Martin's comedy chops wasted? 82 million people are traveling via planes, trains, but mostly automobiles for Thanksgiving. Traffic will peak on Tuesday, so pack extra snacks. ‘Wicked: For Good' opens tomorrow, and is expected to be the biggest movie of the year. When there's money involved, Hollywood says yes. Alan Cumming is hosting the “Movies for Grownups” Awards to celebrate movies about people over 50. Chris Hemsworth has a documentary following his father's battle with Alzheimer's and a unique therapy that aims to slow the disease. Trump signed the bill to release the Epstein files. Don't stop with the penny, the nickel should be next to go! Concerts are likely coming to PayPal Park. Meanwhile, the World Cup and The Super Bowl are definitely coming to SF in 2026. ‘Joey' should have been a hit, and maybe now it will be. Want more Matt LeBlanc? Sarah and Matty are recommending ‘Episodes.' You might be surprised that 90s fitness personality Susan Powter is in the news. Vinnie's telling the gang about the world's best cities and revenge quitting. The duct tape banana artist just sold a golden toilet. Pacman is a billionaire. This is the way to cancel a show at the last minute. Is an Ozzy Osbourne/Madonna collab even possible? Turns out there's one from the archives. The CMA's were last night, and Lainey Wilson was the big winner.. And the host! Billboard is naming the top rock bands. A scary reminder to get your flu and COVID shots! College students may have just solved a 30-year old murder case. And the return of an old favorite: Dead or Alive.
