Summer vacation is still going, so why not look back at the ultimate vacation film and the beginning of the vacation franchise?Welcome to the Patreon-only, Everything 80s Movie Review Podcast and today we travel back more than 40 years to 1983 and revisit a comedy classic.Today, we'll do a full plot recap of this road-trip movie, look at all the difficult logistics that went into making it, what the original ending really looked like, and how Vacation became a surprise box office hit.It features some great guest cameos of performers who were about to become megastars, legendary writers, and directors, and despite all its R-rated chicanery, it's still a warm family movie at its core. All in the quest of Walley World...Enjoy!-Jamie
