Welcome to our first episode of Iconic 80s, where we revisit John Hughes’ beloved 1987 holiday classic Planes, Trains and Automobiles. Join us as we unpack why the odd-couple pairing of Steve Martin’s uptight Neal Page and John Candy’s lovable Del Griffith became one of the most memorable comedic duos of the eighties.

We explore the film’s emotional heart, and there is a lot of it and also the chaos of travelling during the holidays. From burned-out rental cars to the infamous “those aren’t pillows”.

Join us both as we reminisce about the best decade ever!
