Mom, written by John Hughes.
JasonHOST
8:32
Because of Mr.
JasonHOST
8:33
Mom, he got a three-picture deal-
JasonHOST
9:45
Um-
DeeHOST
9:46
[laughs]
JasonHOST
9:47
We also have covered National Lampoon's Vacation, which John Hughes also wrote.
DeeHOST
9:51
That's the other key movie.
Benjamin RileyGUEST
17:27
And for, I mean, it's, it's, we take the, the whole range and spectrum of human experience.
Benjamin RileyGUEST
17:32
And so, so I, I am very sympathetic both to the families and to the students that, you know, everybody knows and could even be true for either of you for all I know that like schooling's hard and it's not always fun and it can be, it's, it's like, it's, you know, there's a lot of John Hughes movies that explore this in some depth, right? June, Chicago, right? Yeah.
JuneHOST
17:53
Oh, yeah.
JuneHOST
17:55
So it seems like the alpha school sort of revels in that struggle, though, like the struggle is sort of the point.
Sean PryorHOST
20:11
[laughs]
Mike SchulteHOST
20:12
Uh, at his peak, R.L. Stine was known to complete these stories extremely quickly, uh, in John Hughes-esque, uh, fashion-
Sean PryorHOST
20:19
Yeah
Mike SchulteHOST
20:19
... where he said they would, he, he would write them in about six days.
BryanHOST
10:55
I'm not going to be able to help you, sorry.
BryanHOST
10:57
Yeah, someone's yelling at their, like John Hughes is yelling at his radio
ColeHOST
11:01
right
BryanHOST
11:02
now.
Roger EbertSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
71:24
apparently they threw away that stuff and just used whatever they had left.
Roger EbertSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
71:27
Now, this movie was written and produced by John Hughes.
Roger EbertSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
71:29
who also made Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, which is about another odd couple, Candy and Steve Martin, who go through a lot of adventures.
Roger EbertSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
71:35
It's almost as if he put all of his good stuff in that movie and then took all of the outtakes
MikeHOST
73:53
I will say this is barely a movie.
MikeHOST
73:56
There is almost no story to this movie at all.
MikeHOST
73:59
This movie is really just like John Hughes going like, hey, isn't camping
Ryan ShoemakerHOST
74:04
funny? The movie is an elevator pitch of somebody saying, Ackroyd candy in the woods.
Mallory SmartGUEST
46:10
But hey, what's craving? And obviously we have Billy Corgan, who made it out of the actual high school I went to.
Mallory SmartGUEST
46:19
John Hughes filmed...
Mallory SmartGUEST
46:22
Majority of his movies may be like 15 minutes away from where I grew up.
Mallory SmartGUEST
46:28
So yeah, we had a lot of people make it out.
Mark ClarkHOST
15:20
We dug up your high school diploma and you're two credits short of it.
Mark ClarkHOST
15:25
I know this sounds like a premise to a John Hughes film, but they said, you have to go back to high school.
Mark ClarkHOST
15:32
And so no joke, I went back to high school for an entire summer, right? For three months in the summer, I went back to high school.
Mark ClarkHOST
15:42
So there I was like, you know, 23 years old, genius university student.
GeorgeGUEST
23:42
Bill and Ted versus Naked Gun.
GeorgeGUEST
23:44
I know I'm going to get in trouble with both Johnny and Mo on this one because we've talked about Naked Gun stuff not too long ago on the podcast.
GeorgeGUEST
23:50
We even talked quite a bit about it with the Liam Neeson movie.
GeorgeGUEST
23:55
I remember.
Daniel AshfieldHOST
42:38
It's got everything else that I feel like.
Daniel AshfieldHOST
42:40
It's like a John Hughes film.
Daniel AshfieldHOST
42:41
It's like a high school comedy film, like a Ferris Bueller.
Daniel AshfieldHOST
42:45
It bites off that, and I think that's suitable.
NicolePANELIST
47:03
Yeah, your brother was there.
Vinnie TortorichGUEST
47:06
Yeah, none of that made sense.
Vinnie TortorichGUEST
47:08

Olan Vander LeedenHOST
47:14
Yes, Michael Schoefling.
