For our very special 2025 Christmas episode, we'll be looking at ‘Home Alone', the 1990 classic directed by Chris Columbus, written by the legendary John Hughes and starring Macaulay Culkin in his breakout role. Also, as it's the God in Film Christmas Party, we'll be swapping gifts and you're welcome to stick around for that! Please note: this is one of those 'Nonsense episodes'. If you want serious theological and cinematic insight, please check out one of our other episodes. Don't say you weren't warned...  

En 1990, John Hughes y Chris Columbus unieron sus fuerzas para crear un clásico navideño instantáneo, generar uno de los mayores éxitos financieros de FOX, terminar de descubrir al mundo a Macaulay Culkin y establecer incluso un subgénero cinematográfico propio que luego tuvo miles de imitaciones y vertientes. Solo en casa es un pelotazo rotundo, una cinta divertidísima, que nunca pasa de moda y que no puede faltar unas Navidades (o cuando sea). Por ello le dedicamos este programa en el cual como siempre os contaremos todas sus anécdotas de rodaje, curiosidades de la producción y todo tipo de cotilleos. Por supuesto, nos dejaremos llevar por la nostalgia y recordaremos algunos momentos de cuando éramos como Kevin y junto a él, vamos a revivir esta loca aventura por proteger su casa de los ladrones más divertidos del cine. Además en la pausa podéis escuchar el sketch de Morgan Bites sobre la elección del título para latinoamérica.

This week Paul, Kieran and I get in the Christmas mood... by discussing a Thanksgiving film. And that film just happens to be the fantastic John Hughes comedy, 'Planes, Trains and Automobiles'.

In this episode of Heads Down Two Thumbs Up, Carla and Bill discuss the iconic film Sixteen Candles. This movie launched the career of John Hughes who quickly became known for his portrayal of teenage angst through the ubiquitous experiences of unrequited crushes, embarrassing parents and a punishing social hierarchy. Samantha Baker is turning 16, but in the chaos of her sister's wedding, her family has forgotten her birthday. To make matters worse, she spends the day pining over her out of reach crush, Jake Ryan, Michael Shoeffling, and being stalked by the kind of the geeks (Anthony Michael Hall). As the tagline suggests “It’s the time of your life that may last a lifetime.” How has Sixteen Candles stood the test of time? Is it still relevant today? Who was this movie for? Why are there only white people at this high school and what does it say about sexual misconduct? Carla and Bill discuss all of the joys as well as the cringy, problematic aspects of this 1984 classic.

Is Planes, Trains and Automobiles a perfect Thanksgiving classic — or just brilliantly annoying?In this Food & Family Month finale, the crew revisits John Hughes' 1987 travel-from-hell comedy and wrestles with why it still works… even when it absolutely shouldn't.Steve Martin's tightly wound Neil Page and John Candy's relentlessly cheerful Del Griffith make for one of movie comedy's most iconic odd couples — but does the sentiment earn its landing? We break down:Why the movie still feels painfully relatable decades laterThe infamous “I Like Me” speech — and whether it's earnedThat all-time car rental rant (yes, that one)How John Hughes builds comedy like a series of sketchesWhy the ending hits harder than we expected

We wind down the year with some grab-bag faves that we just really want to watch, beginning with a Thanksgiving holiday classic: John Hughes's Planes, Trains, and Automobiles (1987), in which Neal (Steve Martin) is trapped on a holiday road trip from hell with the friendly, lovable, and disaster-prone Del (John Candy). A forty-five-minute flight to Chicago can sometimes take three days, it seems. Next week, Rhys Darby, Sally Hawkins, and a duck cause Lauren to have an existential crisis! We're talking Love Birds!

Send us a textThank you for tuning in! In today's episode, I am joined by John Abendshein, author of "Home But Alone No More: A Memoir From the Owner of the House That Made Movie History." John lived in the famous "Home Alone" house before, during, and after the filming of the holiday classic. In his book, he shares how this came about, the aftermath following the film's release, and why this movie continues to resonate with viewers more than three decades after its initial release.  In this episode, I get to interview John and ask him several questions ranging from Home Alone trivia to Would You Rather - Chicago version, and I also challenge him to answer a few pop culture questions related to events in 1990.  It was a pleasure chatting with John and I highly recommend his book! Check out John's website here.Follow John on TikTok here.Follow John on Instagram here.Visit John on YouTube here.You can purchase John's fantastic book here.Check out Julia Hagen's website here.  She is the artist responsible for the beautiful artwork on the book's cover as well as illustrations throughout.  Support the showVisit: https://www.popcultureretrospective.com/ for all things Pop Culture Retrospective!

“I like me. My wife likes me. My customers like me.” Planes, Trains and Automobiles (1987) directed by John Hughes and starring Steve Martin and John Candy Next Time: The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992)

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!

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!!

What is up, Hellfire Club, I mean, Slackers?This week is all about Thanksgiving and Stranger Things 5. I'm giving thanks (even though some days it's been tough to find my gratitude) and laying out my final predictions for the season. More specifically, who's who in the ST dead pool. The Duffer Brothers keep saying they channeled the spirit of series finales that actually left us satisfied. And Return of the King. Weird, right?I believe them, but with stakes this high, not everyone's walking out of Hawkins alive. My quick, gut-level, not-exactly-bold picks:Robin? Safe.Dustin? Safe.Steve? Eleven? I'm not so sure.And what about Murray!?This show is set right in the years I was in middle school, so it's always felt lived-in for me and the Mrs. Watching our own kids get just as hooked as we were on Nightmare on Elm Street or any John Hughes movie—that's the real magic. Truly cross-generational.There are only a handful of shows that have ever really made me feel excited and nervous for the fate of fictional characters. Great art can do that to ya.Happy Thanksgiving, Slackers. Please, pass the pumpkin pie (the only pie that matters).

Eric, Jeff, Styles, Sheek and Jadakiss got together in Yonkers to break down the 1987 John Hughes road trip comedy starring Steve Martin and John Candy.

Claire Danes delivers an emotionally gripping performance in her latest limited series, The Beast in Me. Starring alongside an unflinching Matthew Rhys, the Emmy–winning actor reveals why she had Rhys change his character's name from the original script. Danes also shares what it was like to reunite with executive producer Howard Gordon after their hit series Homeland, her early obsession with Madonna and John Hughes movies, and how her role in Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines helped Danes “click back” into acting after spending two years at Yale.

With Jaws now an official film franchise, Universal and its producers still wanted more. But they then did an unforeseen, seemingly desperate move of producing a script done by John Hughes and the rest of the National Lampoon clan called Jaws 3 People Nothing. Original producers Richard Zanuck and Robert Brown were allegedly onboard to do the film. But supposedly, original director Steven Spielberg came in and said that if the script was made, he was going to leave Universal forever. So, Brown and Zanuck sold their rights to Alan Greenspan, who then got author and frequent Twilight Zone scribe Richard Matheson to come in and once again bring terrorizing sharks back to the beaches. But Greenspan got desperate after Matheson turned in a supposed unfilmable script and once again brought in Carl Gottlieb in and spice it up. What was eventually come up with was filmed and brought forth before audiences by longtime Jaws 2nd unit director Joe Alves in the 3D wrought Jaws 3D. How did the film eventually go 3D? How much coke was star Dennis Quaid on during filming? What the hell is recent Oscar winner Lou Gossett Jr doing here? And what did Garrett hold this one up as his favorite Jaws film while growing up? Soooo many questions, as well as what first time viewer Adam thinks of the film, are answered on this week's Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast! Next week, Jaws The Revenge!!

Welcome to the Video Store Podcast.It's Turkey Time! The leaves are changing and the air is crisp. As the jack-o-lanterns turn into pumpkin pie I love to sit down and watch Thanksgiving movies. Some people will tell you there's only one Thanksgiving movie to watch this time of year, I disagree. I'm going to recommend four other Thanksgiving movies that will get you in the holiday spirit and hopefully become a permanent part of your Thanksgiving watch-list.First up we have Son in Law, the 1993 Pauly Shore movie. Becca, a small town Midwestern girl moves to Los Angeles to attend college. She meets Crawl (Shore) an eccentric surfer dude filled with chaotic energy. When Becca brings Crawl home for Thanksgiving the family and town aren't prepared for teh antics.John Hughes wrote two movies about Thanksgiving, one in 1987 and Dutch in 1991. Dutch is a road trip movie about a blue-collar and his spoiled, soon to be stepson. Along they way they each learn to view the world different and accept each other for who they are. The third movie on out Thanksgiving list is Home for the Holidays, directed by Jodi Foster. Home for the Holidays is a raw, unfiltered look at Thanksgiving through the lenses of a dysfunctional family. The Thanksgiving dinner scene alone is worth the price of the rental. It's not your normal ‘everyone hug and say I love you' happy ending. It's a fantastic movie and highly underrated.The final film on my list is Scent of A Woman from 1992. It's about the unlikely friendship between a prep school student and a retired Army officer. It stars the great Al Pacino and it is his movie through and through. From start to finish, he gives a master class in acting. In the end it reminds us that no matter what our situation there's always something and someone to be thankful for. No matter how you spend the holiday, with family, with friends or something else, have safe, enjoyable and relaxing holiday.We're thankful you stop by The Video Store Podcast, please come again for more great movies to add to your list.Thanks for reading Video Store Podcast!
