“Those aren’t pillows!” Steve Martin and John Candy got cuddly, cranky and crazy in 1987’s,
Planes, Trains and Automobiles. Back then, the slapstick road trip was a hit with both audiences
and critics, and boosted John Hughes into the world of more adult comedy fare. Now, decades
later, is a rewatch worth the trip? Are Martin’s mannerisms showing some wear and tear? Are
Candy’s giggles contagious or cringy? The Old Roommates fill up their middle-aged tank and hit
the road. Listen to this.
