84 - Tommy Boy

Join us this week for the ultimate road trip, as we demand some wings, sing what we know of REM, and try to save our dad’s company, all while discussing one of Billy’s favourite films that Topher has never seen - 1995’s ‘Tommy Boy’. Tommy Boy is a 1995 American road comedy film directed by Peter Segal, written by Bonnie and Terry Turner, produced by Lorne Michaels, and starring former Saturday Night Live castmates and close friends Chris Farley and David Spade. The film was shot primarily in Toronto and Los Angeles under the working title "Rocky Road". It tells the story of a socially and emotionally immature man (Farley) who learns lessons about friendship and self-worth following the sudden death of his industrialist father. The film did well commercially, but received mixed reviews from critics. However, since its release, Tommy Boy has become a cult classic due to being very successful on home video.
