Movie And A Beer Episode 128: Planes, Trains and Automobiles

On this travel driven episode of Movie And A Beer, we watched and laughed at Planes, Trains and Automobiles, a John Hughes film from 1987. If you've had the opportunity to travel during the holidays, this film is for you. It follows Neal played by Steve Martin as he tries to make it from NYC to Chicago the day before Thanksgiving and is inexplicitly thrown together with Del Griffith played by John Candy as they make their way across the US in Planes, Trains, Automobiles, the back of food transportation trucks, and a few other random taxi's along the way.  As you can imagine, the comedy is quick and witty. We decided to go with a couple of locally produced beers that would go along for the ride. The first was a wonderful wheat beer from Pelican Brewing (OR) and the second was a pilsner from Von Ebert Brewing (OR). Both provided us with some much needed thirst quenching, but one stood out more than the other. Give the episode a listen to hear why.
