In this episode Mark talks about one of his favourite films: the hilarious, family favourite, 1989 American comedy film "Uncle Buck" written and directed by John Hughes. The film stars John Candy as the unemployed, bachelor, and all-round slob, Buck Russell, who lives in the city of Chicago, who babysits his middle-class brother Bob and sister-in-law Cindy's three children - including one rebellious teenage daughter, Tia (played by Jean Louisa Kelly), who makes life difficult for her Uncle Buck whenever she can while he is overseeing her and her younger siblings Miles (played by Macaulay Culkin), and Maizy (played Gaby Hoffman). Amy Madigan stars as Chanice Kobolowski - Buck's girlfriend who has been dating Buck for eight years and who wants to get married and start a family with him - and Laurie Metcalf as Marcie Dahlgren-Frost - Bob and Cindy's neighbour who attempts to seduce Buck while he is home alone at the Russell family home. The film also stars Jay Underwood as Bug, Mike Starr as Pooter the Clown, Gareth M. Brown as Bob Russell, and Elaine Bromka as Cindy Russell.
