Steve Martin plays Neal Page, an overworked executive just trying to get home two days before Thanksgiving to his family. Del Griffith is a loud mouth overweight blabber mouth salesman that seemingly loves only to talk people to death, followed by enjoying life as a perpetual slob. But this odd couple gets stuck together, and they have the road trip of a lifetime via planes, trains, buses, and automobiles. Along with way hands are shoved into butts, the F-Bomb is laced together in a way that'll make your mother cry with tears and your dad cry with laughter, and six different Dodge LeBaron's give their life to become so famous as the best buddy car of all time that it ended up in Deadpool and and Wolverine. This is an absolutely perfect, quotable, re-watchable, funny, thoughtful, sad, loving, and hilarious movie that we'll all watch on Thanksgiving until we die. 10 Turkey Rolls! Legit Movie Car Facts: -Six custom-painted, green 1986 Dodge 600 convertibles served as comic relief throughout the movie modified with the Lebaron grille, headlights, taillights, and wood siding. . The cars were re-branded as a fictional Gran Detroit, Farm and Country Edition. -Chrysler wanted no part of any relationship with the car. -No actual Town & Country convertibles were destroyed during filming because the studio found plain '86 Dodge 600s and Chrysler LeBarons, painted them green, and then applied the stock wood trim afterward. -Special “D” hood badges replaced Chrysler ones on convertibles used in the movie. -It is so famous that it made a cameo in Dealpool vs Wolverine -The enormous wire wheel covers were a joke. -The color green was chosen by John Hughes himself to go with the wood siding. The car is a nod to another famous Hughes movie car, the Family Truckster from National Lampoons Vacation. -Only one of the cars survived and was repainted a cream color. It was last seen in Los Angeles in 2009. ======================================== Join up via Patreon at patreon.com/KFSHOW Kibbe, Corndog, and the Bern!

Robbie Lopez grew up poor and idolized Tom Savini, he always knew he wanted to be an artist. When he was 13 and was accepted into the Tom Savini School of Special FX with a scholarship he was elated but soon, crushed when he realized his family still couldn't afford the $40,0000. Robbie gave up on that pathway to becoming an artist. But he drew constantly and was supported by his art teacher who kept his art, that he'd thrown away over the years. She even helped him print out his comic strips and had them put in ‘zines that were distributed through the coolest places in town. He was just 14 years old. A year later, Robbie got a letter from Kitchen Sink Press out of San Francisco, an adult comic publication, he became a paid illustrator. He drew comics he wouldn't have been old enough to buy. Then he took his first check and moved out, his first place he had roommates, two 30 year olds and he drew tattoos for them. That's when Robbie got into tattooing. He worked for a parlor for a year and later travelled the world tattooing. Robbie's first feature was about his comic book company, Crude Comics and Cinema. The dream was to make animated movies but it was too expensive and too much effort so he changed direction to features, the first was called Texas Death Trippin'. It was filmed on a road trip and is only the second film created on a road trip, (the other is National Lampoons Vacation) it was a two week trip, with 19 people. He talks all of the trials and tribulations of the film industry including his time working on Troma's Mulligan's Monsters series. By his third feature film, it all starts coming together, it will be out on September 26th, 2023! Then another film, Protege Moi will be released in October, plus an accompanying game. Robbie is also going to be making a sequel to Critters 2 called Critters: All You Can Eat! It takes place 35 years after Critters 2. (This is a SAG approved production.) He talks all about who might return from the originals, pre-production, including building crites which is inspired by the Chiodo brothers' design. And you can be a part of it too! Help us get the funding to get it feature length. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/critters-all-you-can-eat--2/x/29269334# Let's support our indie filmmakers to get the movies made we want to see.

Hosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi and Thrasher discuss National Lampoon's Vacation. A family gets yelled at by their father in the car during a long car trip across the United States. Inspired by a John Hughes from National Lampoon magazine, National Lampoon's Vacation takes slapstick, a road trip film, and dysfunctional family dynamics into a solid comedy. Harold Ramis directs his funny comedy that drags a bit towards the end, but a small John Candy part helps round things out.

Time to hit the road with the family Griswold for a holiday from Hell. Ben doesn't know why they call that stuff Hamburger Helper, it does just fine by itself; Charles is furious, he distinctly ordered the Antartic Blue Super Sports Wagon with the C.B. and optional rally fun pack.
In this episode of Parallel Fiction, Heather and Jeff spread some holiday cheer when they breakdown the act of Giving. Presents are a big part of the holiday season, but there is so much more that goes in to getting it right. The duo goes in depth with candid thoughts and opinions on the current on what makes a great gift and how to appreciate everything you have. In a break from the norm, Heather reads the story The Gift of the Magi in its entirety to start. Though this story is short, Heather explains how much thoughtfulness goes into the story of the two main characters Jim and Della. Did you know? The Gift of the Magi was allegedly written at Pete's Tavern on Irving Place in New York City. Jeff follows up with a quick summary of the 1996 film Jingle All The Way starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. In this story, Jeff explains that sometimes a person's time and attention is a much more meaningful gift than material items. Jeff recalls seeing this film in theaters as a kid, and relates the movie's fictional impossible-to-find-toy “Turboman” to the Power Ranger and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles crazy of the 80's & 90's Fun Fact! The Turboman toy was made for retail following the release of this movie. A sealed figure can fetch up to $600 on eBay as of the publishing of this episode! Following these reviews, Heather and Jeff dive into commonalities between the two works such as love, thoughtfulness, generosity, giving and receiveing, and what great gifts they've received in their lives. Listen in to hear Jeff and Heather's candid thoughts on the masterpiece scenes of each story, how The Gift of the Magi, and Jingle All The Way compare, and how Jeff and Heather relate to aspects of each with some interesting facts and opinions about Giving. Share this episode with anyone who you think would enjoy and is looking for some holiday spirit! Heather's Rating of The Gift Of The Magi: Very Nice – A great story for the ages that tells the tale of true love through actions.Jeff's Rating of Jingle All The Way: Nice – A fun 90's movie that is good to watch for the season, but not the standout Christmas comedy movie that Home Alone or National Lampoons Vacation are.

Our movie expert reviews The Chevy Chase Classic "National Lampoon's Vacation".
In this episode, Tracy, Val, and Jake discuss the 1980s comedy classic Summer Rental starring John Candy. In the same vein as the National Lampoons Vacation movies, this is a comedy about a family as it could only be done in the 80s. Who wouldn't want a nice, relaxing stay in a beach house in Citrus Cove, Florida? But you know everything is going to go wrong…John Candy is brilliant in this film, and just oozes charisma as he always does. The team discusses how this role may differ from some of his other work, like Uncle Buck. His character has just a little more heart. But as always, John Candy really is genuine as the dad here who just wants two help his family have an unforgettable summer vacation.Sure, the story may be full of holes, and the pacing is a little weird, but overall, the laughs are there and the film has heart in the end. This was a classic that Tracy and Val grew up watching, but it was new for Jake. It is definitely worth checking out.What did you think of Summer Rental? Do you have a suggestion for an upcoming episode? Did Tracy say something you disagreed with? You can send all of that feedback to podcast@moviesthatmakeus.com.

Website | Merch | Twitter COVID Week 3 - The Streaming Continues. This week we turned to Hulu to watch the 80's “family” classic, National Lampoon's Vacation. Times have changed a lot since this comedy premiered. Does it still hold up? And should you watch it while on quarantine?
We continue our COVID-19 theme by focusing on being quarantined for long periods of time with your loved ones. What happens when we are trapped with our family and have no where to go? We revisit the 1983 classic, National Lampoon's Vacation, to help us answer that question. If that isn't enough, we have a family expert, Mr. Jared Dotson of the great Sober Cinema, to provide his perspective on the lovely families of the greater Lexington area.

In episode 71, Kelly and Jon welcomed Grant Lyon and the three of them threw it back and re-watched the original National Lampoon's Vacation. What with spring break and the coronavirus have people taking off -- it felt appropriate to watch! The movie is over 30 years old but does it hold up? Or is it like Chevy Chase's career and kinda well better when we first saw it but honestly not the best (it's the latter). We go of the rails and talk Christmas movies and more fun stuff proving once again that if the movie is eh the podcast is always much more fun to listen to. Crank it up, listen, and enjoy!
