In which the Mister and Monsters join me in reviewing UNCLE BUCK (1989), from writer/director John Hughes.  When their parents must unexpectedly travel out of town due to a family emergency, the three Russell children are left in the reluctant care of their father's black sheep brother, Buck Russell (John Candy). Buck, who is known for his unconventional habits and general unreliability, must quickly adapt to the responsibilities of domestic life, which includes navigating the rebellious streak of the eldest daughter, Tia (Jean Louisa Kelly).  Despite his disastrous initial attempts at cleaning, cooking, and babysitting, Buck manages to connect with the children in his own unique way, proving that he may be the family's most dependable member after all.  The film clocks in at 1 h and 57 m, is unrated, is currently available on Tubi and HBO Max but it's also available to buy/rent on Prime Video.  Please note there are SPOILERS in this review.#UncleBuck #JohnHughes #JohnCandy #BuckRussell #JeanLouisaKelly #Tia #GabyHoffmann #Maizy #MacaulayCulkin #Miles #AmyMadigan #Chanice #ElaineBromka #Cindy #GarrettMBrown #Bob #LaurieMetcalf #MarcieDahlgrenFrost #JayUnderwood #Bug #Comedy  @PrimeVideo  @TBS  @TNT  #JohnCandyILikeMe #ColinHanks#FridayFamilyFilmNightOpening intro music: GOAT by Wayne Jones, courtesy of YouTube Audio Library

Today, Earth's Mightiest Critics look back on the life of a comedy legend with an unconventional panel review of John Candy: I Like Me!Colin Hanks' presents a sprawling and thoroughly moving documentary about the star of SCTV, Uncle Buck, Planes, Trains & Automobiles, and dozens more comedy classics.Featuring interviews with co-stars, family, and friends, I Like Me paints a portrait of a man haunted by childhood tragedy who spent the rest of his life taking care of others (be it direct altruism or simply by making them laugh)--possibly to the detriment of his own well being. Far from a downer, this film is a celebration of life in the truest sense.Executive Producer Ryan Reynolds and friends recently screened the film at the Chicago Theatre, and several members of the EMC were there. Unfortunately, they couldn't all get together for roundtable, so Ian talked with Don, Cati, and David individually about several aspects of the doc, including its status as one of the best films this decade; the bizarrely performative nature of the Chicago Theatre Q&A; and the rise of the Celebrity Documentary genre.John Candy: I Like Me is now streaming on Amazon Prime.Support Kicking the Seat on Patreon, subscribe to us on YouTube, and follow us at:XLetterboxdInstagramFacebookShow LinksWatch the John Candy: I Like Me (2025) trailer.All proceeds from the I Like Me screening tour support St. Jude Children's Children's Research Hospital.

In this episode, we head back to 1989 for John Hughes' underrated comedy classic Uncle Buck. John Candy delivers one of his most heartfelt and hilarious performances, but what if someone else had taken on the role? We explore the alternate casting choices, dig into behind-the-scenes stories, and reflect on why this film feels like Hughes' last truly great directorial outing. Plus, we talk about that emotional ending, the unforgettable pancake scene, and how Candy's performance still hits hard decades later. It's time to fire up the Wagonaire, and spend some quality time with Uncle Buck.

This week Craig, Phil, and Will watch the delightfully nostalgic comfort film Uncle Buck! Also on the pod, Will’s talking Pokemon, so that’s fun.

Description: In the summer of 2020, as Jen was beginning to process the loss of her 26-year marriage, there was one person walking her own similar but different journey, and understood many of the feelings of anger, grief, shame, and loss that Jen was just beginning to feel. Someone who knew how that disappointment felt. Jessica N. Tuner, founder of the popular lifestyle blog The Mom Creative, was a few months ahead of Jen in processing the loss of her 16-year marriage to her husband and father of her three children. Today, Jessica shared with Jen and Amy what the road to recovery has looked like for her, including grieving the end of the life she thought she would have forever, the change of her identity, navigating  the messy false-starts, and clawing her way back from what felt like “the floor of hell”. Jessica compiled those hard-fought lessons into a book she's hoping will be a manifesto of hope to others, called I Thought It Would Be Better Than This: Rise From Disappointment, Regain Control, and Rebuild a Life You Love. *** Thought-provoking Quotes: Nothing about what I thought my life was going to be, is my life now. Now I feel like I walk around in the world and I feel grief and loss and disappointment and dismay from everybody. It's amazing how my eyes have opened. It was a big awakening to the loss people are living with everyday.–Jessica N. Turner When we made the decision to divorce, I felt like I was sitting on the floor of hell, everything was dust, everything was different.–Jessica N. Turner No matter how devastating the loss, the life you can still rebuild is astonishing. – Jen Hatmaker Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Say Anything film (1989) - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098258/ Sixteen Candles film (1984) - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088128/ Cameron Crowe - https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001081/ John Hughes - https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000455/ James Spader - https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000652/ Some Kind of Wonderful film (1987) - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094006/ I Go Crazy by Flesh for Lulu - https://open.spotify.com/track/2o1AevEuv39qZAVy6k2pmn The Breakfast Club film (1985) - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088847/ Weird Science film (1985) - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090305 Ferris Bueller's Day Off film (1986) - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091042/ Planes, Trains and Automobiles film (1987) - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093748/ Uncle Buck film (1989) - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098554 Pretty in Pink film (1986) - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091790 Beethoven film (1992) - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103786 I Thought It Would Be Better Than This: Rise From Disappointment, Regain Control, and Rebuild a Life You Love by Jessica Turner - https://amzn.to/40yC1fF Outlander - https://www.starz.com/us/en/series/outlander/21796 Onsite - https://experienceonsite.com/ ONSITE COURSE [BOOK ORDER BONUS]: What now?

John Hughes has been hit or miss for us on this podcast, but we're watching another one of his classic movies, Uncle Buck! John Candy stars in the titular role and is here to cause a reasonable amount of havoc. He means well, but darn if he isn't so destructive, loud, and basically a cartoon character. He and his niece butt heads a lot, but who can blame any high schooler for being annoyed by their uncle and his noxious, back-firing car.Remember to join our Discord for movie nights and further podcast discussions!Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-other-half/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
