Episode 106: Planes, Trains, and Automobiles (with comedy writer and cartoonist Michael Chau, @Srirachachau)

Update: 2023-11-24

Description

Today on Soundtracker, I'm talking about one of the few Thanksgiving movies with a soundtrack, PLANES, TRAINS AND AUTOMOBILES. And I'm joined once again by Michael Chau (@Srirachachau) to talk about it. In this episode we compare this to the rest of John Hughes work, talk a whole whole lot about John Candy, discuss what makes the "twist" at the end land so well, and dig into the fairly weird soundtrack. You wanna hurt me? Go right ahead if it makes you feel any better. But at least listen to this episode.
