JAN 617: Planes, Trains and Automobiles (1987) Review - Rush Hour 4 Is Happening? (12/03/25)

This week on The Jock and Nerd Podcast, we're discussing the surprising news that Rush Hour 4 may actually be happening — and what that means for the long-dormant buddy-cop franchise. We also break down the latest updates in the Warner Bros. Discovery sale as the company asks for second-round bids. Plus, huge box office updates: Zootopia 2 shatters records with a $559M opening weekend, and Avatar: Fire and Ash tracks for a massive $110M+ debut. We also tease the arrival of The Odyssey trailer. Then we revisit the John Hughes classic Planes, Trains and Automobiles (1987) for a holiday-season review, followed by What Are We Watching, featuring Hamnet, Train Dreams, The Shuffle, Pluribus, Euphoria, Squid Game: The Challenge, and Tulsa King. Tune in for movie news, reviews, reactions, and a whole lot of nerdy fun! ⏱️ Timestamps This week on the show! (0:00) Welcome to The Jock and Nerd Podcast! (1:19) Rush Hour 4 is happening?
