Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! Mike and Steve wrap up the 80s Spotlight with John Hughes's Uncle Buck, featuring John Candy as the lovable black sheep uncle tasked with babysitting his brother's three kids. They discuss the film's humor, memorable scenes like the oversized pancake breakfast and the principal confrontation, and Macaulay Culkin's early role before Home Alone. Both hosts celebrate it as a feel-good comedy that holds up beautifully and reveal why an attempted TV adaptation failed to capture the movie's magic.
