About this Episode

We revisit the classic John Hughes comedy starring Steve Martin and John Candy. We discuss the iconic performances, the shift in tone for the director, the film's legacy as a holiday favorite, and the memorable rental car scene. We also look at the different home media releases and the importance of this film in the broader comedy landscape.

During holiday travel, some people get delirious,

some get delayed, and some get dull -gripping.

New page got all three. I was on my way home

to spend a nice holiday with my family. Instead,

I'm in a motel bed with a stranger. So instead

of Thanksgiving with his family, he's spending

three days with the turkey. Two happy clams just

whistling down the road. Two happy clams just

whistling down the road. Two happy clams just

whistling down the road. Two happy clams just

whistling down the road. Two happy clams just

whistling down the road. Two happy clams just

whistling down the road. You're doing the wrong

way! What? Are you mad at me? John Kenley. Why

are you holding my hand? Where's your other hand?

Between two pillows. Those aren't pillows. in

a new film by John Hughes. Planes, trains, and

automobiles. Hello and welcome to the 49th episode

of the M -Wire. Today we are going to be discussing

planes, trains, and automobiles. I am TFJR Mike

and joining me is Kevin Optima Solo Thompson

from Tooncast and BehindTheVoiceActors .com.

Hello. Hello, how are you sir? I'm superb. Yes,

that's good. I don't know if it was a scheduling

conflict or what the deal was, but Steve said

he wasn't going to be in this episode. I don't

know why. I don't know what's wrong with him.

Well, then again, he was born in 1986, so he

kind of came into the 80s late. Shame on him.

Oh, crap. So this episode will actually air a

week after we celebrate. We barely celebrated

the one year anniversary of this show on episode

48, which we talked about Jumanji, I think. Yeah.

It's been a rough week, so I don't really remember

what the hell we talked about last week. But

yeah, planes, trains, and automobiles. When was

the first time you saw this? Oh, god. I honestly

don't remember the exact time when I saw it.

I know I saw it when I was young. Let's see,

I would have been about six years old when it

came out. I'm guessing I saw it when I was around

10 or 12 maybe. So it was probably a few years

after, five or six years after it came out probably.

But I saw it probably, I don't know, early 90s

somewhere maybe. It was instantly one of my favorite

movies, comedy -wise. Yeah, I think I started,

I don't really remember because I know there

is cursing in this film. Especially in one scene

which we'll get to a little bit later But I I

honestly I think I was nine or ten maybe so 89

or 90 somewhere around there Yeah, somewhere

around there, I'm not really sure um You want

to do a plot or do you want me to do it? I can

talk about the plot a little bit. Okay? All right,

so basically obviously it's a Planes, Trays,

and Automobiles, for those that don't know. It's

an American comedy film written and directed

by John Hughes and starred Steve Martin and John

Candy, of course. All right, so the plot, basically,

Steve Martin is a tightly wound character named

Neil Page. He's an advertising executive, and

John Candy is an innocent and well -meaning but

accident -prone and overly talkative and somewhat

reckless shower curtain salesman named Del Griffith.

And basically the story goes that they start

off in New York, they have a little fiasco with

the taxi cab where Steve Martin's trying to get

a taxi cab. Doesn't work out because John Candy

basically steals it. That's the first time they

meet each other. And then they meet each other

in the airport on the plane. You know, they have

a delayed flight. on the plane and we just basically

travel with them as they're trying to get back

to their homes for Thanksgiving. Steve Martin

is set on being with his family on Thanksgiving

because he doesn't want to let them down like

I'm sure he does often and John Candy really

doesn't care too much. I mean he's kind of a

carefree go -with -the -flow type guy and it's

basically just their journey to try to get Steve

Martin back in home in time for Thanksgiving.

Oh, geez. The short version of the plot. Wow.

Yeah, I, um... Yeah, wow. This film is so messed

up. I love this film. I love it, but it's just

so messed up. I now know why, and we'll talk

about this later, but there are two DVD versions

of this. There was the original Bare Bones edition

that was put out in 2000, and then last... And

then last year, they put out a special edition.

Those aren't pillows edition. I'll talk about

the DVD a little bit later, but after watching

this thing, before we started recording tonight,

I now know where that goes from. I was like,

oh god, because I so don't remember that. It's

been at least 25 years since I've seen this.

25 years since you've seen this? Yes. Somewhere

around there in 20 15 20. It's Whenever the last

time I saw it was that's 23 at the most. Yeah,

whatever So that's probably been at least a decade.

Whatever. You know, yeah, you didn't watch it

today. Well, I said before this oh before Yes,

I did what yeah something that ever since the

first time I've seen this I don't think there's

been Three or four years that has gone by that.

I haven't watched it again. I just Part of it's

because I love John Candy, and I love just about

everything he does. I have almost all his movies,

but this movie in particular, I just love the

pairing of these two characters, and it's just

absolutely freaking hilarious, so I can't go

too long without watching it. See, my thing was,

whenever it would come on TV, obviously they

would have to bleep it, and obviously, until

2000, we never had a DVD of it. Of course, yeah,

there was VHS, but I don't ever remember owning

this on VHS whatsoever. No, I didn't either.

I honestly don't and actually Up until two and

a half weeks ago. I didn't own it on DVD either

I had to actually order this on Amazon in preparation

for this episode. So yeah, even though I love

this film, huh? Shame on you. Yeah shame on you.

So It's a good thing we did this episode now

and not like three or four months down the road

because holy crap I still wouldn't have had it

in wow What did you think of the cuddling scene?

I mean, that was probably my... I don't know.

That actually wasn't one of my favorite scenes

in the movie. I mean, it was funny, but I like

so many other parts better. I think it's funnier

after the reaction, after they get up. Yeah.

Yeah, I was embarrassed. Getting the bear's reference

in there, it's always good. There's so many good

parts in this movie, though. It's really hard

to pick out favorite parts in here for me. Yeah,

and you have them in like the upteenth degree

of Kevin Bacon as well, because Kevin Bacon played

the taxi racer. Right, yep. And that's kind of

an interesting scene, because if you listen to

it real carefully, you can actually, in the background,

you can hear the fight from... Between Kevin

Bacon and Elizabeth McGovern that's from the

movie. She's having a baby Yeah, yeah, so that's

kind of an interesting thing so Kevin Bacon's

of course always got nice connections to everything

I'm trying to think of my favorite. I love the

scene Not because it's so funny, but I love the

scene where Steve Martin just goes off on John

Candy in the hotel room. Oh, yeah Just because

it's such a, you feel so bad for John Candy and

they did such a good job of like getting the

viewer to feel sorry for John Candy there. Yeah.

And it's just a very powerful scene, but I'd

have to pick a funnier scene for my favorite

scene, but that scene for some reason sticks

with me so much because of how mean he was and

kind of John Candy's reaction to it. It's a very

powerful scene to me within a comedy that doesn't

have... a lot of what you call powerful scenes.

Oh, yeah, very, very much so. There's so many

good scenes. I'm going to have to think about

this for the whole show before I get to my favorite

scene, though. I just want to go back to the

plot a little bit. We need to talk about the

ending. And I know we're kind of jumping all

over the place here, but you had mentioned that

scene where it... first of all Neil as you said

is very very uptight and Del is pretty much this

you know whatever happens will happen and you

kind of see Neil melt at the end when Because

Neil is into the assumption that Dell has a wife

and family of his own, which he frequently mentions

his wife, Marie, and puts a framed picture of

her on his various mental nightstands, Neil is

taken aback when he, uh, later pieces together

things Dell said to realize that Dell is alone.

He goes back to the train station where he had

left Dell and sees Dell sitting alone inside

an empty station. After they finally make it

back to Chicago, Del tells Neil that Marie actually

died eight years ago, and that he's been homeless

ever since. The bond between the two men strengthens

further when Neil invites Del to enjoy Thanksgiving

with his family. So I thought that was a really

nice ending. And it also shows that, you know,

Del, that character hides. I mean, he puts on

a good mask. Oh, yeah, because he's always jumping

around from motel to motel and I don't know how

the hell and You kind of get it wrong. He's not

in the shower curtain division. He's in the shower

curtain rain division. He just sells the rings

Yeah, but um, I don't know how you could go around

the country making a living on that though Yeah,

that's true, but I mean just in general even

back then I mean, I honestly don't know. I mean,

yeah, I've heard, you know, we all know door

-to -door salesmen and Avon and Tupperware and

Fuller Brush and whatever the hell else, you

know, but I mean, I just, I don't... Well, it

obviously doesn't make much of a living. Obviously

not. But I think you brought up a good point

there, and I think he does John Candy and the

writing and everything for his role. They do

an excellent job of not only keeping that from

Steve Martin's conscious about what's going on

with John Candy, but the audience really is kind

of, they hide it from them too. I remember watching

it, and the first time I watched it, I just thought

he was kind of this crazy guy that was kind of

in the same situation. You never realized what...

the real story was until Steve Martin realizes

it. So it's kind of cool to experience that at

the same time as a character. And like I said,

you know, it's been a number of years since I've

seen this. And that, I mean, I'm almost coming

into this movie fresh. Yes, I remember the car

rental scene, which we'll get to in a few minutes.

Yes, I remember the hotel scene, both of them.

The hotel yelling of Neil and then the in bed

scene. The shower scene was horrible. God. Poor

guy. But I honestly, you know, I did not remember

the ending of this film. I remember that they

go, that the two of them go back to Neil's house,

but I honestly did not remember why. And wow.

That's wow. Why the hell Is Neil an ad exec in

New York when his family lives in Chicago? Obviously,

he's married. He's not divorced. He's not separated

Yeah, what the hell is that all about? Yeah,

I don't know if he's just out there. I think

it was just a Singular business trip. I think

he didn't necessarily work out of there on like

a permanent basis I think he was there trying

to sell something or trying to do something and

it was just a trip that A temporary trip, so

to speak. OK. All right. Because the way that

it made it sound was, I don't know, just to me

when they were sitting in the boardroom, like...

They made it look like an everyday situation.

Yeah. Yeah. And oh god, that boss of theirs,

holy crap. I want to stick a knife into his eye.

It's like, say something. Pick one. Yeah, right.

But I'm pretty sure he was working out of Chicago

and that was just a trip to New York for a specific

thing. That could be. That could be. I know it

isn't. I know that both this and Home Alone were

filmed in Chicago. They were actually filmed

a town away from each other. I know. Well, what

I was going to say was, it looks to me when they're

walking down the street with the trunk, it looks

like the exact same street that the McAllister's

house is on. And then when I noticed the house

of Neil, outside of the fact that there's no

driveway, that there's no U -shaped, there's

no horseshoe driveway, In front by the front

door that is almost the the home alone house

as far as the outside of it goes Yeah, it looks

a lot like the home alone neighborhood. Mm -hmm.

I Thought that was kind of cool. I don't know

if that was intentional or or not, but yeah,

I'm not sure about that. Yeah All right, let's

talk about it the rental car scene It's a great

scene It shocks the hell out of me what Edie

McClurg shows up in. Yeah, that's true. It really

does, because she can show up in anything. Yeah,

and she plays that role so well. Oh, yeah. But

basically, if you don't know who Edie McClurg

is, she is the attendant that they go to at the

rental car place that Steve Martin has to deal

with. Or she has to deal with Steve Martin however

you want to view that yeah, and I I honestly

I cannot rip I cannot repeat verbatim what he

said I know what she said in the end was oh,

oh What you're fucked? I actually ripped that

audio out so that'll be in this episode somewhere.

I think it'll be at the close to the end of the

episode oh I do love the scene though when they're

in the car and when basically they ruin the rental

car with the cigarette and it melts down the

entire car except for the radio. That was just

a great scene. You know, honestly, I don't doubt

that Del, John Candy, whatever, whether you want

to do it as a character or as the actual actor,

I don't doubt that he could have broken that

seat. He's like, oh, come on, he can't break

a car seat. They made us... whatever he said.

I don't remember what he said, but... I'm a big

guy myself, so I know. I haven't done it, thank

God, but I'm sure it's possible. Because I've

gone through, in the past, I'd say four years,

I've gone through about six office chairs for

my desk. Anyway, that's a whole other story.

What else do you want to talk about with this

film? I mean, obviously, the other big scene

that we kind of touched on a little bit, the

F -bomb scene, which is basically, I guess, from

what I've read about it, that it's a minute -long

segment, and they use the F -word 18 times, at

least. So 18 F -words and 60 seconds or so from

Steve Martin. And I guess it was intentional

to try to make sure that the movie got a different

rating. Actually, no it wasn't on the on the

DVD that I have here Which one it's the special

feature getting there is half the fun the story

of planes trains and automobiles It's part of

a panel segment that he that Martin candy and

and Hughes did and they asked him about you know

What's the controversy with the you know John

Hughes and the MPAA? He said there's no controversy

You know he said that You know, it's adult humor,

it's for adults. We only have, you know, we drop

the F -bomb once in the movie, or one time in

the movie, you know, as far as one scene. But

no, I don't think it had anything to do with

it. I'd read something about that, not necessarily

for the US, but without that scene it would have

been rated, a different rating in the UK, and

they wouldn't have been able to... to show it

in certain areas, but I'm not 100 % sure. There's

also a scene that a lot of people don't see if

they see the TV movie or certain versions of

it, because I think it's only on the DVD version,

maybe, is the scene in the airplane with them

eating. Actually, the deleted scene is on the

DVD. It's on the Those Aren't Pillows edition,

the one that got released in 2009. The one that

got released in 2000 on DVD is just a bare bones.

It's just it's just a movie It's just a movie

and subtitles and whatever other which you know,

I'm sorry, but You know when they when they say

stuff like, you know widescreen version Dolby

digital surround Spanish mono subtitles. Those

are not special features. Those are specifications

of the DVD I hate it and they're on every DVD

so it's not special Huh? They're on every DVD,

so it's not special. No, I know. And that's what

I'm saying. But sometimes on some DVDs, and I've

ranted on MYR about this in the past, on some

DVDs, they list the specifications as special

features. Oh, that's what they do on this one.

Yeah. Because I have the crappy version. And

it says special features, big bold on the back

of it. And then it says widescreen version, Dolby

Digital, English subtitles, interactive menus,

and scene selection. Yeah. Those are not special

features, those are specifications of the fucking

disc. Yeah. So I gotta go buy the other disc

eventually. Yes. So you need to get the new version,

the 2009 version. I got it off Amazon for I think

like, I don't know, 10, 12 bucks? Something like

that? Yeah, Amazon has had some good deals lately.

Yeah, they had Fraggle Rock earlier for $37 .49,

but I'm dead broke. Whole series. Yep. Whole

series. And I have the whole animated series,

so I was very tempted by that. Yeah I mean I

need to get both and now that I I actually remember

that there's Wow, we're really getting off to

engine here But while there's so many cartoons

that keep popping up like I know there's not

a lot of DVDs for it But I thought of Alf the

animated series Wow tune cast schedule just keeps

changing and changing But anyway um on the Wikipedia

article that I couldn't paste because I couldn't

paste the wiki Into word for every episode of

my just because it's easier than having the website

open They show a map of the the intended route

and the and then the actual The different lines

of what they had to go through The actual flight

went from New York to Wichita Then they get on

a train from Wichita to somewhere, I think it's

St. Louis, maybe, I'm not sure. And then they

get via, no, the bus went to St. Louis, I think.

Yeah, the train goes about halfway through Missouri

and then the bus goes to St. Louis. Right. And

then the rental car goes about halfway into Illinois.

And then the milk truck goes the rest of the

way. Oh, God. That's great. What did you think

of the cast of this? The cast is phenomenal.

I mean, and you know, John Candy, like I said

before, I like him in just about any movie I've

ever seen him in. Steve Martin, for me, is a

little more hit and miss. I mean, I like most

of his stuff, but there's plenty of stuff that

I don't like. But the choosing of those two for

these roles was genius. Yes. There was definitely

no other... Some movies you could say, oh, you

could sub this guy in or you could sub that person

in and it would still be good or it would be

better. No, not for this movie. Nobody could

have taken these two guys' place. No, not at

all. And like you said, I mean, the rest of the

cast with people like Edie McClurg or, you know,

you have little short segments from like Kevin

Bacon and Ben Stein and his boss is a fairly

famous actor. I just can't remember his name

right now. It's a pretty decent cast. I mean,

really, you only need Steve Martin and John Candy

and the rest is, you know, inconsequential. But

it's a decent cast, even with all the side people.

No, you know, you got... And the thing with Hughes

is he likes, you know, he likes going back and

giving people stuff to do in his other films,

like Farish Bueller's dad's in here. You know,

I really at the end of Lawrence's in there, you

know It's actually Joey, but yeah, Matthew Lawrence

is in here Lila Robbins. Oh my god at the end

of the film When he went up the stairs to hug

her or whatever. She just looked ugly as all

get out. I'm sorry I just didn't look like somebody

Steve Martin would marry. I mean, you know, where's

Diane Keaton? Come on, let's go. Yeah. But, you

know, this is just one of those films where you're

just entertained by the main two stars and you

really don't even hardly even notice anybody

else besides Edie McClarrigan, Ben Stein. That's

about the only two other people I even would

have been able to tell you were in the movie

besides Martin and Candy. Yeah, well I noticed

Bagan because everybody thought it was Bagan.

I noticed Ferris' dad because everybody should

know Ferris' dad by now. But overall it's a really

great film. It's a really great friendship type

of film or learning to become friends type of

films. So I guess going into the reception here.

The film marked a widely noticed change to the

repertoire of John Hughes. The film was greeted

with critical applause in 1987 and surprising

revelation given the fact that at the time Steve

Martin and John Candy were both known as relatively

low brow comedians and John Hughes was considered

a teen angst filmmaker. Their attempts at producing

an adult comedy resulted in one of the most highly

regarded films of the decade. It now has 95 %

positive ratings on Rotten Tomatoes and is featured

in Roger Ebert's Great Movies collection. In

2000, readers of Total Film magazine voted the

10th greatest comedy film of all time. The film

also was financial success earning over $150

million on a mere $15 million budget. This has

proved to be one of John Candy's highest -grossing

films. While some of the film reviewers were

critical of the gushy tones and silliness seen

in the film, which affected the ability to convey

emotional range, most applauded the humor itself.

In the baby not -on -board episode from the TV

series, Family Guy, Peter Griffin recites John

Candy's speech almost word for word. shot three

hours worth of footage for the movie too and

I guess in the interview they asked him if there

was really three hours and he said yeah there

is but it would take years to try to put it all

together to make it all back into a film because

it's all just bits and pieces of film yeah I

mean they could probably do it like if they were

um this thing is coming up on some sort of anniversary

in 2017 isn't it well yeah thirties 30 years?

Let me look, hold on. 30 years. Oh, whoops. 30

years. You sure? Yep. I did my math. Yeah. But

he said most of it's locked up in the Paramount

vault. Well, even if it is locked up in the Paramount

vault, I am sure that if they can find a way

at Warner Brothers to put back Dick Donner's

Superman 2 cut, I'm sure that they can find a

way to put together this like in some sort of

30th anniversary edition DVD, even if it was

in there as deleted scenes, I'm sure that they

could find a way to do so. As far as the home

video release, the film was released on DVD in

2008, quote unquote, bare bones presentation.

And a special edition, Those Aren't Pillows edition,

was released on October 20th, 2009. And let's

talk about this for a second, seeing as how you

have the shitty copy. I'm sure it's pretty much

the same thing as what you have other than the

actual special features. Getting there is half

the fun. The story of Planet Strange is on all

wheels. John Hughes for adults and a tribute

to John Candy and then the deleted scene of airplane

food I did watch all of getting there is half

the fun I watched part of Hughes for adults and

I watched like three or four minutes of the of

the Hughes of the tribute to candy One of the

reasons why I didn't watch it all was because

I just didn't have time I mean I'm sure I'll

go back and watch it eventually but basically

what it is is they just basically cut one long

like I guess press conference into three different

features because it's it's the three of them

in in all three features see I thought the tribute

to John Candy was something that they went back

and did after he paste paste passed away but

it's pretty much the story behind planes trains

the John Hughes adult filmmaking or whatever

the hell not not adult filmmaking, but you know

what I mean Yes, this is not porn. Thank you

very much. We are explicit, but we're not that

explicit yet Notice I said yet So it basically

breaks up this one long press conference into

three different features So there you go Anything

else you'd like to say about this Just that I

need to get the other DVD, so I can see all the

special features. Yes, you do. And then you had

just mentioned that this is one of John Candy's

highest grossing films, or it is the highest

grossing film. And that's a big statement, because

John Candy had so many classic movies, in my

opinion. I know a lot of them at the time, if

you were our age when they came out, they were

probably like these Saturday Night Live movies

that we're seeing these days. People don't take

them serious, but they're so classic. Yeah, the

line is this has proved to be one of candy's

highest grossing It's not it's not the highest

grossing film, but it's one of them And that's

a big statement because he had a lot of good

stuff out there. Oh, yeah. Well except for wagons

East and Delirious I didn't like those two very

much. But anyway, I have I have a bunch of I

have like the John Candy complete collection

of DVDs basically I Have Uncle Buck in the other

room. I had to put that on the schedule at some

point great stuff Yes. Actually, did John Hughes

do Uncle Buck too? I don't know. I'm not sure

if this was the start of a bunch of them that

he did like that or not. I don't remember, but

I'm actually drawing a line between this and

Uncle Buck because he tries to throw the cigarette

out the car window. And it falls back in the

seat. My Uncle Bucky falls asleep at the cigar

on the couch, and it burns the couch down. Hmm.

I think it is. Yes, it is a John Hughes film.

I remember that now. Because Hughes just passed

away, and I had just gotten Uncle Bucky in the

mail, and at the time, This Week in Geek had

put out their retrospective or tribute episode

to Hughes. So yeah, it is a Hughes film. Yep,

that'll have to go on the schedule somewhere.

All right, so we have anything else? Just it's

good stuff. Now you are going to hear that epic

car rental car scene. Get out! Get out! Get out!

Oh, Jean Marie, you're a stitch. No, Mom's gonna

do the turkey. Yeah, Dad wants ambrosia, so I

guess we gotta get those miniature marshmallows.

And I'll do the crescent rolls and you do the

cranberries. You know I can't cook. Yeah, well,

I'll see you tomorrow then. Gobble, gobble. Welcome

to Marathon. May I help you? Yes. How may I help

you? and start by wiping that fucking dumbass

smile off your rosy fucking cheeks. Then you

can give me a fucking automobile, a fucking Datsun,

a fucking Toyota, a fucking Mustang, a fucking

Buick, four fucking wheels and a seat. I really

don't care for the way you're speaking to me.

And I really don't care for the way your company

left me in the middle of fucking nowhere with

fucking keys to a fucking car that isn't fucking

there. And I really didn't care to fucking walk

down a fucking highway and across a fucking runway

to get back here to have you smile at my fucking

face. I want a fucking car right fucking now.

May I see your rental agreement? I threw it away.

Oh, boy. Oh boy, what? You're fucked. Do not

on the pillows This is just easily one of my

favorite comedies of all time I'm a humongous

fan of old -school comedy and when I say old

-school I'm talking about you know John Candy

and some real comedy Yeah, John Candy Bill Murray

I could watch just about anything either one

of those guys does and this out of all their

movies this one's up at the top or up near the

top of all the comedies that I treasure my I

don't know, I love John Candy, I love this movie

and it's definitely funny, as funny today as

it was the first time I saw it. I don't watch

a lot of movies over and over again, I'm not

a big fan of re -watching movies and this is

one that I can re -watch without a problem. I

agree and I disagree at the same point. I agree

with that you can watch it over and over again

or over a period of time, seeing it multiple

times, but I honestly For me movies are not just

a one -time watch You know, I mean we covered

it over in tooncast in the Christmas episode

I watch Christmas vacation every year. I don't

care how old that movie gets I will watch that

film every year at Christmas on Christmas Eve

or Christmas Day until the day I die you know

this film I don't know when the next time I watch

it is but At least I have it now so I can watch

it instead of having to go out and find it online

or something. But, I mean, see sometimes, it's

funny, sometimes I buy DVDs because I want to

watch them and other times I buy them because,

oh, I have to add them to the collection. It's

just one of those things where it's almost like

I'm a pack rat for DVDs and toys. And when I

say DVDs, I don't just mean films. I mean TV

shows as well. Something we're going to have

to add to the NY schedule eventually is I just

bought it off Amazon a couple weeks ago, Throw

Mama from the Train. Oh, god. Yeah. So. Yeah,

this if you haven't seen this movie you need

to watch it and if I don't know it to me it's

a must -have in any DVD collection just because

Especially with comedies that you can watch over

and over again like we're talking about and you

should own this and you should watch it. Yes

Yes, yes, yes, so oh what what do you guys got

going on over at BBTA? Did you fill out that

Frank Lunker resume anymore? Well, it's up to,

good lord, it's up to like 200, no, is it 300?

Oh god, I'll have the number here in two seconds.

It is 279 characters we have credited for right

now. But basically the latest things I've done,

obviously other people are doing all kinds of

other stuff, but the latest stuff I've done,

which I sent you the link for, is the both the

Laugh Olympics show and getting all those characters

in and good lord that's a great voice cast. And

what else did I do? Oh I just got done two more

things. Tiny Toons Adventures, I filled out that

page almost entirely. I mean not entirely because

there's so many freaking characters but I have...

Now is that just a character page? That's a character

page. These aren't voice compares right? No those

aren't voice compares. The last voice compare

I did was actually I just started what I'm calling

a Hanna -Barbera classic voice compare section.

And the first character I did was Mildew Wolf

from It's the Wolf and Laugh Olympics. So I'm

going to be adding a lot of Hannah Barbera characters

to voice compares. And I did update a bunch of

Transformers voice compares with the voices from

the Japan -only Transformers Tataki PS2 game.

And the voices are pretty terrible, but I added

those to about six or seven characters on the

Transformer voice compares. stuff all the time

then you know if you're a fan of voice actors

or the voice compares you know friend us on facebook

because every time we do a new voice compare

we post it on our facebook page yes um... so

of them or five whichever you prefer Yes, and

Kevin will be joining us on that episode because

honestly I have nothing against Raiders and I

have nothing against Temple of Doom I'm just

not interested in those films. I've seen them

before and I just don't like them Great So and

Crystal Skull can kiss my ass Um, so the only

one I will actually be talking about on episode

50 is the only one that I consider really good

is Last Crusade. It is my favorite one too, but

the others are all good. Crystal Skull's just

not as good. Crystal Skull, I'm sorry to say

- You can agree that Last Crusade's the best

and Crystal Skull's the worst. Crystal Skull,

I'm sorry to say, is Shia LaBeach sucking on

Spielberg's dick. Now we just got really explicit.

Well, it has an explicit tag to it and I've said

this before Between you know, you you could have

Steven Spielberg on the left and Michael Bay

on the right and in between Oh God now we got

really explicit So that's all coming next week

Wow, okay, so Optimus Solo from BehindTheVoiceHackers

.com. You're listening until next time. Holy

shit. In a world. There. I said it. Happy.
