Summary

Thanksgiving is a holiday like no other: We don't buy presents. We don't wear costumes. We don't party all night. We just bring our family and friends together to share a meal and reflect on our blessings.

"Planes Trains & Automobiles" is a rare movie in many ways: It's a comedy that makes you cry. It's a John Hughes movie without teen stars. And it's one of the few movies we can think of that celebrates Thanksgiving, one of the most underappreciated holidays on the calendar.

Steve Martin and John Candy created something special that impacted each of the Shat The Movies crew in a different way. Big D immediately hugged his wife and felt a deeper appreciation for life. Gene reflected on his verbal cruelty and picking apart other's weaknesses. And Roger gave thanks for modern technology and improved business travel.

We dedicate this podcast to Roger Roeper's late father, Ronnie, who can't make it to the table this Thanksgiving. Be thankful for your loved ones this holiday season. Tell them you love them. Cherish your time together.

With love,

Gene, Kerri, Roger, and Big D
