“Those aren’t pillows!”The Sad Sacks are back with a brand new episode of the PRPL Podcast—this time stumbling, sprinting, and snow-plowing our way through John Hughes’ 1987 holiday classic Planes, Trains and Automobiles. From chaotic airports and derailed train rides to cramped motel rooms and disastrous rental cars, we follow Neal Page and Del Griffith on a cross-country odyssey where everything that can go wrong absolutely does. Join us as we unpack the film’s pitch-perfect blend of heart and hilarity, the unforgettable chemistry between Steve Martin and John Candy, and how a simple trip home for Thanksgiving became one of the most beloved comedies of all time. Buckle up—because with these two, the road to dinner is anything but smooth.Planes, Trains and Automobiles (1987) | Sad Sacks Movie Review video podcast available on YouTube.Video Podcast: https://youtu.be/mKzeJaGZ8UoYouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@prplpodcastIG: https://www.instagram.com/prplpodcast/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@prplpodcastMore Links: https://linktr.ee/prplpodcast
