Uncle Buck - Ep. 30

from Total Casting Recall Hosted by Lee Barron & Chris Browne

Hoo-ray!! It's our 30th Episode!! Thank you for listening to the first 29 episodes! And to those who haven't, this episode will make absolutely no sense whatsoever. Sorry! JUST KIDDING. None of the episodes make any sense. Even if you play them backwards... except the one episode that will tell you to run out and buy Led Zeppelin albums. Specifically, the box sets. NOW that that is out of the way. On with the verbiage... Do YOU have an Uncle Buck? Well, we do! This week we (Chris and Lee) do some death defying casting and re-cast this classic. It’s Uncle Buck. Starring John Candy, Macaulay Culkin & Amy Madigan. Also included are other actors and crew people, mostly not seen on camera. It was writtena nd directed by John Hughes. It takes place in Cold America- possibly Chicago- in the late 1980s. Plot: Somebody important dies and leaves the kids with another relative (who doesn't have kids) to take care of them. It was.a different time. It was a different century. Spoiler Alert: IT TAKES PLACE ON EARTH. This episode is sure open your mind and rip it apart and thrust it into a different dimension through a portal or something! Possibly. Thanks for listening- if you dare... Sincerely, Ol' Farteblossem Spitoonski (The TCR in-house innovator)
