Episode Details

This week we settle in with a holiday classic that still knows how to punch you right in the feelings. Planes, Trains and Automobiles sends Steve Martin and John Candy on the road trip from hell, packed with delays, disasters, and a surprising amount of heart. We watched it the way we watch everything for this show and found that the mix of chaos and sincerity hits in a different way when your brain is moving a little slower. The big laughs still land, the emotional moments sneak up on you, and the whole thing feels warmer than you remember. Join us as we break down what holds up, what gets even funnier, and why this one still earns its reputation as a comfort watch.
