Some folks think "Home Alone 2" is just the same movie again (and they're right). But to others, it's an "obscene artifact"—and a superior sequel at that. On today's show, old friend and literary agent extraordinaire Noah Ballard makes his case for why Kevin McCallister's Christmas déjà vu succeeds in going darker, showcasing unforgettable audio technology, and presaging the ills of the next American century. Everybody say, "Hiya, pal!"

Women InSession: John Hughes & 80s Teen Comedy

LYRICS:
I've got to tell you
I've gotta tell you
Gotta let you know

That when you leave
When you go
It takes my breath away

Woke up Monday morning
To a cold spot on the bed
Strawberry scented hairspray
Well it lingers through my head

Then your footsteps fade away
And curse that creeping dread
Cause a whole 'nother day
Without you here
It's way too much to bear

Then just for one moment
I think you’ll never come back again
Fear grips my heart
I can't pretend
To have no insecurity

I know you’ll come back tonight
Can’t help but feelin' blue
You seem to understand this
Seem to get me
Which is why I'm so
In love with you

Every time I get you flowers
Now I know you’re safe at home
And when you are gone
For countless hours
You have taught me that
I'm not alone

When you leave
When you leave
Oh when you go
When you leave
You take my breath away
Take my breath away
Away
When you leave

When You Leave

Nearly one year in the making, on today's edition of 'Movie Reviews with Griffin' we get Griffin's thoughts on John Hughes' 1986 comedy classic, "Ferris Bueller's Day Off", as Glenn continues his crusade to introduce Griffin to movies that he definitely should've seen but hasn't yet...

''THOSE AREN'T PILLOWS!''

In this, the very first SSSM episode, Dave and Tom set off on a nostalgic journey through the iconic soundtrack of Planes, Trains, and Automobiles.

This beloved comedy classic (starring John Candy and Steve Martin) features a diverse mix of music that perfectly captures the chaos, humour, and heart of the film. From catchy pop tunes to soulful ballads, the soundtrack adds depth and emotion to the unforgettable story of two mismatched travelers navigating the holiday rush. Join us as the lads cherry-pick their way through the tracks, discuss the artists behind the music, and share behind-the-scenes anecdotes. Warning; some mild daftness and choice language to be expected.

So buckle up, grab your headphones, and let's take a musical road trip down memory lane with the soundtrack to Planes, Trains, and Automobiles.

We listened to this album, via a mix of YouTube and this playlist on Spotify:
