Description

This week on Rewind Rethink, we’re tackling Uncle Buck (1989) for the first time! A listener request sent us into this John Hughes classic, starring John Candy as the chaotic yet well-meaning Uncle Buck. Saj absolutely loved it, embracing the humor and heart, while Alice… wasn’t quite as sold.

Was Buck’s unconventional approach to childcare endearing or just a total mess? Do the jokes hold up in 2025? And what’s the deal with those giant pancakes? Join us as we break down our first-ever watch of Uncle Buck and decide if it deserves its classic status!
