Hi all, thank you for watching. Sorry it was published earlier than usual. We had made the setting for Premiere and then forgot to add a time. Doh! We did plan on chatting during the premiere, but it might have to wait for other publications now. Hope you enjoy nonetheless!
3:11 D and J: "Kevin Bacon!' D: "What's he doing in this?! I didn't know that!" _Planes, Trains and Automobiles_ is a MCU-adjacent prequel and this is Kevin Bacon's cameo scene...
“Uncle Buck” is another funny John Hughes movie, John Candy and Amy Madigan ( wife in Field of Dreams)and the boy from Home Alone ( can’t remember how to spell his name Maculie Kulkin)and the daughter from Field of Dreams. Cute and funny, Uncle Buck comes to baby sit the kids and of course everything goes wrong!!😂
Yaaaayyyyyyy, this one is really dear to my heart, I'm so happy you got to see this. I love how you two wear outfits to match the main characters. That scene at the end with Del sitting alone in the train station gets me every time, and the grief he's been dealing with for so long. John Hughes included the swearing car rental scene because he wanted to push the movie above a PG rating, so he could explore more adult themes, like grief and adult humour.
OK, I don’t know if it was mentioned in the intro, and I just maybe wasn’t paying attention, but halfway through this I just realized you’re wearing the outfits from the poster. This is absolutely amazing. I love this. You guys are quickly becoming some of my favorite reactors 😅
The rent a car scene is probably one of the funniest scenes in movie history, I was around your son's age when I 1st saw this, it became a family movie every Thanksgiving. They had such great chemistry, Uncle Buck is a great one too John Hughes films are so good hes one of my favorite directors
@@GenerationMediaReaction Based. Yer kid is so smart. He figures stuff out of the 3rd act in the first 10 minutes. When I was his age I was just like derp derp derp movie. Keep on kicking ass dude, you're raising an amazing human being.
Great movie!!!!!!!🍿 I see new things every time I watch reactions (100s of times!!!). I never noticed he left his gloves in the beginning before you noticed it!!
An amazing, subtle performance by Candy on the part of the drama. Great transitions of boisterous attitude to a nice immediate shift to a fake smile or attitude. Not easy to notice on first watch. And that final scene! He has only seen Neil as a straight and cynical person, that’s only lightened a bit very recently….now he sees full-force the joy and love and tenderness of the family…especially between Neil and his wife. This causes John Candy’s character and his performance to feel incredibly sad for his own loss….but…the brilliance of Hughes’ direction and Candy taking full charge of his acting…being as his character is a loving and care-free and giving person in his soul….. shifts to appreciating the love and joy in the moment….taking it within himself and thus….his enormous smile of joy in the final second! Brilliant! Beautiful! Outstanding! 🙂
12:39 I’m not sure if you’ve watched National Lampoon’s Vacation (if not - PLEASE do. It’s a comedy classic), maybe not overseas, but in the US vibrating beds were very popular at hotels in the 1980s. It was kind of seen as an upgrade. To have a bed that vibrates like a massage.
Kevin Bacon = You’ve got to check out the movie: Apollo 13 great cast Tom Hanks , Kevin Bacon , Bill Paxton and Gary Sinise ( Forest Gump and Lieutenant Dan together again). Great story of the Apollo mission and problem on the spaceship
@@GenerationMediaReaction I literally can't wait. The movie is slightly dramatized, but is also almost perfectly historically accurate because the real-life story is so intense that it doesn't need to be dramatized.
I didn't realize this was going to be a premiere, but I'm happy to have jumped in 23 minutes after it started! This was so much fun to watch. It really is a classic movie for a reason. Maybe a little slow compared to today's comedies, but it hits in all the right places. I loved seeing J start to connect all the dots and really feel empathy for John Candy's character. I also think this is the best use of sudden profanity outside of the single word in _The Princess Bride_ which I think is even more well deserved (and by the way, that's a movie recommendation from me!). I'm so glad you enjoyed it and it took your mind off the studio remodel. I can't wait to see when it's finished!
Sorry for the confusion. We had planned for it to be a premiere and made the setting, but then didn't set a time for it. Ooops. But we plan on making more premieres so we can chat during it in future publications.
Love this! This movie is believable because the weather is like that this time of year in the Northeastern part of the US. Also, it's 780 miles (1146 km) from New York city to Chicago.
Yes, I do love a movie that can be enjoyed and appreciated when you’re young, but also grows with you in its impact. This one has certainly proven to be that sort.
Enjoyed your reaction. The reason Steve Martin's voice sounded like he was on helium was to illustrate that he was grabbed in his private parts in such a way that his voice changed for a while.
The TH-cam channel Hats Off Entertainment did a couple of facinating deep dives on this movie.. one of which was about the "lost version" of this film, which much, much longer (over 3 hours)... it also goes over John Hughes original script, which had few extra subplots that were dropped... like Neil's wife suspecting he was cheating.. since it had happened once before.., and explains the sentimental reunion when she sees Neil wasnt lying about Del. It also featured a conversation between Neil and Dell at a coffee shop after the reveal that his wife died. Many of these extra scenes were inclided on a recent bluray that was released after the "lost version" video.
Even if you’re not here with us in the States, Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃 It’s a holiday that gets overshadowed a lot by all the Christmas stuff, but I’ll put this movie up against any Christmas movie, as a strong contender for the season. This is the only movie Steve Martin and John Candy were in together. I wish they had a chance to have done more, but I’m truly thankful to John Hughes for giving us this one. I’m thankful to both of you for the reactions as well.
John Hughes liked to recast certain actors and sometimes included cameos between his films. Kevin Bacon starred in his comedy She's Having a Baby around this same time. Also, the old man snoring on Steve Martin's shoulder in the plane played Kevin Bacon's grandfather in She's Having a Baby. He's also in Home Alone, husband of the woman in the Paris airport getting the panicked mother spiel from Catherine O'Hara desperate to get home to her son. You'll also recognize the Marathon Car Rental lady next.
I don't know if anyone mentioned this, but there was a subplot that was cut from the final film, but gives a new perspective on watching the film. So, Neal's wife actually thinks Neal is having an affair. Every time he calls he has some crazy story where he's sharing a room and transportation with this strange man he doesn't even know. So she doesn't believe him. In the end, when she sees Del, she realizes that Neal was telling the truth the entire time. The reaction from the wife isn't just elation that Neal is home, but also relief that he wasn't having an affair.
Just woke up and thought, oh gosh my notification must not have gone off! It’s a little early here in Mississippi. 5:50AM, to be exact. But I won’t be able to go back to sleep. It will be good medicine for me today. We lost our granddaughter very suddenly, 7 yrs ago tomorrow; just 2 weeks shy of her 11th birthday. So the holidays have been a rather gloomy time since then. 😢She was bright, beautiful, & loved to laugh. So the comic relief will be good for me this morning. Yes, it would’ve been nice to chat this morning, but we all understand. Well, the dressing (stuffing😊) sweet potatoes & 🥧🥧are made. I just have to pop the 🦃 in the oven after a bit. It’s turned a little cold 🥶 overnight here, so a fresh cup of Joe ☕️ is in order.😊Happy Thanksgiving again, J & D. 😊❤
Speaking of whom (Laurel and Hardy), you ought to try some of their movies sometime. Their Oscar-winning short, THE MUSIC BOX (1932), is a good introduction.
The following year, there was a John Hughes movie "She's Having a Baby", starring Kevin Bacon. I'm wondering if they were filming at the same time, so he threw a cameo in there. John Candy had a cameo in Kevin Bacon's movie.
I love the dress up...bang on point! I bloody love this film! I cant wait to watch your reaction later. I hope your boy loves it cos its so funny. I know its not a film but could you react to Merry Christmas Mr Bean? And possibly the New Years Eve Party episode pretty please? Haha 😂 Hope the unpacking is going well 🙂
Great watch, love your reaction videos. One quick thing about kevin bacon; yes, he was filming another john hughes film at the time, she's having a baby. And the scene where Steve martin's wife is in bed watching the telly, the film she's watching she's having a baby! Also, as always with the films of John Hughes, wait until the end credits have finished; there's another scene at the very end. Thanks.
Steve Martin's voice sounding higher-pitched is due to how he was picked up by the guy at the airport, at least I believe that's what the director is trying to hint at.
@@GenerationMediaReaction I altered my voice recordings for this cartoon I was making where the main character is a penguin. I used a high-pitched voice, so I can see how they might take the voice from the scene and perhaps doing something similar.
Another favorite of mine, as a lot of Hughes films are, though I haven't ever seen the one that actually stars Kevin Bacon, "She's Having a Baby". Wanted to mention a pointless fact: I was living in WIchita, Kansas when this came out and although it was nice that we were mentioned, nothing was actually shot in Wichita. It's the biggest city in Kansas but not its capitol.
There's a scene at the end of the credits where the man from the meeting at the beginning is still looking at pictures, while eating Thanksgiving dinner
Another Steve Martin film to consider watching is "A Simple Twist of Fate"(1994). The film's co-stars Catherine O'Hara, Laura Linney, Gabriel Byrne, Stephen Baldwin, and Anne Heche. It's a comedy drama.
I knew you'd both enjoy this as it is a very warm-hearted film at its roots - some of the comedy is quite Mel Brooks-ish, such as the skeleton scene or frozen dog. Hopefully you'll run through a couple of his movies eventually, given how funny and quirky his films usually are! Looking forward to more reactions from you. Ciao!
Jay - you are so lucky at a young age to go abroad alot, especially New York. I would love to go to NY at Christmas but the crowd of people scares me. Can't believe your flight was delayed for 2 days tho...jeez!
The Out of Towners (1999) is another Steve Martin film that I think gets overlooked. He plays opposite Goldie Hawn. I prefer the 1970 original with Jack Lemmon and Sandy Dennis but the remake is still good for newer audiences.
If you really want to see some excellent work by John Candy, check out clips of the TV series "SCTV" from the 1970s. SCTV was a spoof of television, generally UHF TV stations, a fictional TV station that a parodied soap operas, newscasts, commercials, talk shows, movies and sports. The ensemble created their own characters as well as spoofed celebrities, in John Candy's case -- Orson Welles, Luciano Pavarotti, Babe Ruth, etc. His take as Beaver Cleaver in a send up of the TV series, "Leave it to Beaver" is a classic. One of the characters created by Candy was Johnny LaRue, a local businessman who had his own TV show, sponsored his own TV show, wrote directed and produces his own TV show -- legendary. This show pre-dates his movie career. While it is not a movie reaction, it is something to take a look at privately.
There was some scenes and story cut from the film about Steve's wife thinking he was having an affair on her and is why he was late. As for the car scene with them turning into skeletons and John becoming the Devil was Steve's character feeling like he was in hell and Candy was the devil taking him through this hell and at this point he was dead and not going to survive the accident.
I give you credit that you picked up on Dell’s dead wife. Most people don’t. And the reason Bacon had just that little scene is because he wasn’t some hugely popular actor at that time. He took any part he could get. Finally, I’m surprised you didn’t explain to your cohost about the manual hotel credit card swiper… In the ancient days before there were computerized ATMs and payment processing!
It's proper name, I believe, is a Dashew plate (for Stanley Dashew, one of the founders of the credit card industry in the 1950s). It copied the embossed numbers on a plastic credit card onto a credit card slip made from pressure sensitive paper (and/or regular paper interspersed with carbon paper), usually creating three copies so that one could be given to the customer as a receipt, one could be kept by the merchant, and one could be sent to the credit card company.
Hi all, thank you for watching. Sorry it was published earlier than usual. We had made the setting for Premiere and then forgot to add a time. Doh! We did plan on chatting during the premiere, but it might have to wait for other publications now. Hope you enjoy nonetheless!
My favourite movie! I just adore John Candy, a wonderful actor and a lovely man. He is dearly missed.
Enjoy !!
The f-bomb scene is legendary. Neil was all of us in that moment.
John Candy was/is an international treasure.
How different a story it would be if they’d just had cell phones. A different world we live in today.
Can't wait to come back and watch this later. I love Steve Martin playing the straight man against John Candy's comedic aloofness😅
3:11 D and J: "Kevin Bacon!'
D: "What's he doing in this?! I didn't know that!"
_Planes, Trains and Automobiles_ is a MCU-adjacent prequel and this is Kevin Bacon's cameo scene...
You gotta admit, that ending with the music makes you cry. Everytime you go away, I love Paul Youngs version ❤
They turned into skeletons in a joke that they were about to die, then cut to John Candy as the Devil. Superb.
I always figured the high-pitched voice was a joke about how he was picked up by the guy that punched him.
It makes sense now!
"We caught it in the nick of time". One of the greatest lines in cinema! Up there with "I'm the janitor of God".
John Candys death at the age of 43 was so tragic :( Thanks for another great reaction.
Hey, editor in Canada here, love the channel! I think the Steve Martin high voice moment was a joke about his being picked up by his testicles!
just like in Christmas Story🤣🤣🤣
Yeah I just didn't realise it at the time. His voice sounded altered rather than 'acting' !
"Do ya think so?" :D
Your son was spot on when he noticed that it was Neil that started talking to a stranger while on the train!
👍💪
“Uncle Buck” is another funny John Hughes movie,
John Candy and Amy Madigan ( wife in Field of Dreams)and the boy from Home Alone ( can’t remember how to spell his name Maculie Kulkin)and the daughter from Field of Dreams.
Cute and funny,
Uncle Buck comes to baby sit the kids and of course everything goes wrong!!😂
Sounds fun!
Yaaaayyyyyyy, this one is really dear to my heart, I'm so happy you got to see this.
I love how you two wear outfits to match the main characters.
That scene at the end with Del sitting alone in the train station gets me every time, and the grief he's been dealing with for so long.
John Hughes included the swearing car rental scene because he wanted to push the movie above a PG rating, so he could explore more adult themes, like grief and adult humour.
Thank you, this is inspired from attending Secret Cinema events here in the UK
OK, I don’t know if it was mentioned in the intro, and I just maybe wasn’t paying attention, but halfway through this I just realized you’re wearing the outfits from the poster. This is absolutely amazing.
I love this. You guys are quickly becoming some of my favorite reactors 😅
Thank you - we like to make a little effort!
The costume surprises always make me laugh out loud when I see the thumbnail 🤣 it’s a such a good addition ♥️
It's cultural humour here in North America that when one experiences trauma to the testicles, the vocals tend to increase in octave.
Oh yeah! didn't piece it together at the time!
This movie wears you out , with all the running around and things they go through to try to get home!!
The rent a car scene is probably one of the funniest scenes in movie history, I was around your son's age when I 1st saw this, it became a family movie every Thanksgiving. They had such great chemistry, Uncle Buck is a great one too
John Hughes films are so good hes one of my favorite directors
Dad, you get the academy award for snoring!!!!!!!!! 😂😂😂
that sound is forever in my psyche after hearing it for 4 nights!
Best Thanksgiving movie ever made. Kevin made a cameo which a few years later set up She's Having A Baby
Vibrating beds were a thing in the 60’s and 70’s at motels and hotels. They became a sign of a seedy hotel after their popularity waned.
I thought they were always symbolic of seedy hotels and hotels for people who like sexual role-playing.
22:20 If you remember, one of the passengers on the bus in "Speed" was Ferris Bueller's friend Cameron (Alan Ruck).
Another connection, yes forgot about this!
By the way - to all the Americans out there, Happy Thanksgiving 🎉 Wish we had it here in the UK.
I’m so glad you got the boy a comfortable chair.
And it helps with the height adjustment too!
@@GenerationMediaReaction Based. Yer kid is so smart. He figures stuff out of the 3rd act in the first 10 minutes. When I was his age I was just like derp derp derp movie. Keep on kicking ass dude, you're raising an amazing human being.
12:52 used to be a thing in the 70’s 😂. 25 and the bed would vibrate for 20 min or so 😂 (ikr!)

first time for both is always better. 🙂
imo.

We have Apollo 13 on the list.

42:51 the house of "home alone 1, 2 "movie 😍😍
Kevin Bacon was in another John Hughes film shot around same time alled"Shes Having A Baby", so in same universe of sorts.
hope u love this, one of my childhood favourites , but each to their own.
Seems Like Old Times and Midnight Run are 2 great underrated comedies.
Midnight Run is a personal fav - cant wait to share it!
You guys look great. Couldn’t help but giggle. Great work!
Enjoying the cosplay! Another great choice to react to. Very funny and heartwarming film.
Hello, friends. 👋
I bet this is one that will mean more to little man 30 years from now than it will now.
Yes maybe he will return to it one day
Yes, I do love a movie that can be enjoyed and appreciated when you’re young, but also grows with you in its impact. This one has certainly proven to be that sort.
I can relate to the snoring story, I used to work away and share hotel rooms with my workmate, he sounded like someone was strangling a pig.
A holiday classic and tradition here in the US.
Enjoyed your reaction. The reason Steve Martin's voice sounded like he was on helium was to illustrate that he was grabbed in his private parts in such a way that his voice changed for a while.
YOURE GOING THE WRONG WAY!!!!
for more J Candy.......try SUMMER RENTAL.
"How would he know where we're going?!"
The Great Outdoors is another fun John Candy/Dan Aykroyd comedy
36:26 It's a pity the motel isn't having "a coupon day, or something", to quote this actor in another movie.
Steve Martin was still affected by being picked up. That is why his voice was higher.
This is my all time favorite movie! A comedy masterpiece.
It is indeed a masterpiece
The TH-cam channel Hats Off Entertainment did a couple of facinating deep dives on this movie.. one of which was about the "lost version" of this film, which much, much longer (over 3 hours)...
it also goes over John Hughes original script, which had few extra subplots that were dropped... like Neil's wife suspecting he was cheating.. since it had happened once before.., and explains the sentimental reunion when she sees Neil wasnt lying about Del.
It also featured a conversation between Neil and Dell at a coffee shop after the reveal that his wife died. Many of these extra scenes were inclided on a recent bluray that was released after the "lost version" video.
Even if you’re not here with us in the States, Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃
It’s a holiday that gets overshadowed a lot by all the Christmas stuff, but I’ll put this movie up against any Christmas movie, as a strong contender for the season.
This is the only movie Steve Martin and John Candy were in together. I wish they had a chance to have done more, but I’m truly thankful to John Hughes for giving us this one. I’m thankful to both of you for the reactions as well.
John Hughes had a similar experience to what Steve and John went through. So afterward, he wrote a brilliant screenplay.
Oh wow, didn't know this.
John Hughes liked to recast certain actors and sometimes included cameos between his films. Kevin Bacon starred in his comedy She's Having a Baby around this same time. Also, the old man snoring on Steve Martin's shoulder in the plane played Kevin Bacon's grandfather in She's Having a Baby. He's also in Home Alone, husband of the woman in the Paris airport getting the panicked mother spiel from Catherine O'Hara desperate to get home to her son. You'll also recognize the Marathon Car Rental lady next.
Great.....and timely.
I'm in California (from Florida) now for Thanksgiving dinner later today. (Being a SoCal native, I drove here....annual ritual)
I don't know if anyone mentioned this, but there was a subplot that was cut from the final film, but gives a new perspective on watching the film.
So, Neal's wife actually thinks Neal is having an affair. Every time he calls he has some crazy story where he's sharing a room and transportation with this strange man he doesn't even know.

What a bloody lovely film! None like it since. Love john candy
There’s a couple more really cute Steve Martin movies:
1. Father of the Bride
2. Father of the Bride part 2
oooo, never seen Father of the Bride !
@ I think you’d like them!! Also has Diane Keaton and Martin Short in them!!
Great movies,yes!
Including Kevin Bacon here is a call back to John Hughes movie “She’s Having a Baby” which also takes place in Chicago.
I Watch This Movie Every Thanksgiving, That's a Tradition In My Family Great Reactions Everyone & Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🍽️
29:32 He was lifted up by his testicles. His voice is high for a reason. 😂😂😂
Yeah i realised only after (although the voice was adjusted in post i think rather than it being Steve Martin acting)
Just woke up and thought, oh gosh my notification must not have gone off! It’s a little early here in Mississippi. 5:50AM, to be exact. But I won’t be able to go back to sleep. It will be good medicine for me today. We lost our granddaughter very suddenly, 7 yrs ago tomorrow; just 2 weeks shy of her 11th birthday. So the holidays have been a rather gloomy time since then. 😢She was bright, beautiful, & loved to laugh. So the comic relief will be good for me this morning. Yes, it would’ve been nice to chat this morning, but we all understand. Well, the dressing (stuffing😊) sweet potatoes & 🥧🥧are made. I just have to pop the 🦃 in the oven after a bit. It’s turned a little cold 🥶 overnight here, so a fresh cup of Joe ☕️ is in order.😊Happy Thanksgiving again, J & D. 😊❤
8:45 - that's why they have oxygen masks on board lol
Definitely consider Uncle Buck and/or The Great Outdoors for some of the best of John Candy.
Neither of us have seen these two, so maybe !
Amazing comedy duo performance, probably the best since Laurel and Hardy
a new The Odd Couple !
Speaking of whom (Laurel and Hardy), you ought to try some of their movies sometime. Their Oscar-winning short, THE MUSIC BOX (1932), is a good introduction.
The taxi driver was in breaking bad

Great watch, love your reaction videos. One quick thing about kevin bacon; yes, he was filming another john hughes film at the time, she's having a baby. And the scene where Steve martin's wife is in bed watching the telly, the film she's watching she's having a baby! Also, as always with the films of John Hughes, wait until the end credits have finished; there's another scene at the very end. Thanks.
Thank you for watching. we did see the post credit scene with the boss of Steve Martin ... it gave us a little chuckle
Del is an adult mooch, I am super curious what he did in Dec let alone the rest of the year. He is SUPER Lucky he ran into Neil.
Steve Martin's voice sounding higher-pitched is due to how he was picked up by the guy at the airport, at least I believe that's what the director is trying to hint at.
The strange thing is that it doesn’t sound like Steve Martin acting the voice. The voice sounds ‘altered’ in post production
@@GenerationMediaReaction I altered my voice recordings for this cartoon I was making where the main character is a penguin. I used a high-pitched voice, so I can see how they might take the voice from the scene and perhaps doing something similar.
Thanks for the video, i love this movie! Another somewhat similar one you guys might like is 'Dutch'! It is hysterical!
I'll check it out!
@GenerationMediaReaction it stars Ed O'Neil from Married With Children, so it's pretty good!
DUTCH (1991) is quite a good movie -- also about a journey home for Thanksgiving.
He sounded like he was on helium because he got kicked in the grapes
of course! it makes sense retrospectively !
Classic movie
In the motel, he is putting money in a contraption back in the day called magic fingers, it vibrated the bed to give sensation of a massage.
Genuinely never heard of this before !
Another favorite of mine, as a lot of Hughes films are, though I haven't ever seen the one that actually stars Kevin Bacon, "She's Having a Baby". Wanted to mention a pointless fact: I was living in WIchita, Kansas when this came out and although it was nice that we were mentioned, nothing was actually shot in Wichita. It's the biggest city in Kansas but not its capitol.
There's a scene at the end of the credits where the man from the meeting at the beginning is still looking at pictures, while eating Thanksgiving dinner
Yes we saw this!
29:30 the joke is that his balls were smashed and his voice went up in pitch. A common trope back in the 80's and 90's.
Another Steve Martin film to consider watching is "A Simple Twist of Fate"(1994). The film's co-stars Catherine O'Hara, Laura Linney, Gabriel Byrne, Stephen Baldwin, and Anne Heche. It's a comedy drama.
Adding to those mentioning that the high-pitched voice of Steve Martin was directly after being "picked up by the testicles."
Oh yes... didn't piece it together at the time (!)

Thank you !
Does the fact that this is J's first introduction to John Candy mean that he has never seen HOME ALONE (1990)?
He has seen Home Alone, but he's only in that for one scene isn't he?
Two or three scenes, I believe.
Jay - you are so lucky at a young age to go abroad alot, especially New York. I would love to go to NY at Christmas but the crowd of people scares me. Can't believe your flight was delayed for 2 days tho...jeez!
The best Thanksgiving movie!
Such a great movie. Always love your reactions!
Thanks so much!!
Your both dressed like the actors! your son John Candy and you Steve..lol.

Glad you like them!
The Out of Towners (1999) is another Steve Martin film that I think gets overlooked. He plays opposite Goldie Hawn. I prefer the 1970 original with Jack Lemmon and Sandy Dennis but the remake is still good for newer audiences.
I sat beside somebody on a plane once who cut his fingernails during the flight.
yuk!
Back in the day a lot of crappy motel rooms featured vibrating beds!
Never heard of this ! but then again I wasn't using motel rooms in 1987!
Kevin Bacons brother, Chris P Bacon was in the Breakfast Club

If you really want to see some excellent work by John Candy, check out clips of the TV series "SCTV" from the 1970s. SCTV was a spoof of television, generally UHF TV stations, a fictional TV station that a parodied soap operas, newscasts, commercials, talk shows, movies and sports. The ensemble created their own characters as well as spoofed celebrities, in John Candy's case -- Orson Welles, Luciano Pavarotti, Babe Ruth, etc. His take as Beaver Cleaver in a send up of the TV series, "Leave it to Beaver" is a classic. One of the characters created by Candy was Johnny LaRue, a local businessman who had his own TV show, sponsored his own TV show, wrote directed and produces his own TV show -- legendary. This show pre-dates his movie career. While it is not a movie reaction, it is something to take a look at privately.
John Candy as Julia Child boxing against Martin Short as Mr. Rogers.
John Candy as Pepie Longsocks.
@@DV80s So many to remember!
A storyline that was cut from the movie, is Neil's wife suspected he was cheating with another woman, so when she meets Dell she is very relieved.
ah, this makes sense with her being unhappy with the calls as well. Thank you
5:47 2 days?! Wow!
8:59 eeeeewww! 😂
There was some scenes and story cut from the film about Steve's wife thinking he was having an affair on her and is why he was late.
As for the car scene with them turning into skeletons and John becoming the Devil was Steve's character feeling like he was in hell and Candy was the devil taking him through this hell and at this point he was dead and not going to survive the accident.
I give you credit that you picked up on Dell’s dead wife. Most people don’t.
And the reason Bacon had just that little scene is because he wasn’t some hugely popular actor at that time. He took any part he could get.
Finally, I’m surprised you didn’t explain to your cohost about the manual hotel credit card swiper…
In the ancient days before there were computerized ATMs and payment processing!
It's proper name, I believe, is a Dashew plate (for Stanley Dashew, one of the founders of the credit card industry in the 1950s). It copied the embossed numbers on a plastic credit card onto a credit card slip made from pressure sensitive paper (and/or regular paper interspersed with carbon paper), usually creating three copies so that one could be given to the customer as a receipt, one could be kept by the merchant, and one could be sent to the credit card company.
11:08 Murphy’s Law😊

Good eye. That's Ben Stein. Bueller....Bueller.....Bueller.
Well, D. Pretty sure your voice would be that High if someone picked you up in that manner lol.
I get it now. I still think it was a post-production adjustment though
