 Do You Even Binge? Episode 25

Felipe and Lesa dive deep into the legacy of one of comedy's most beloved and vulnerable figures: John Candy. With the holiday season beginning, we focus on the Thanksgiving classic Planes, Trains and Automobiles and the HBO documentary John Candy: I Like Me.🎙️ In This Episode:
  • The I Like Me Documentary Review: We break down the Colin Hanks-directed tribute, discussing what it got right, what it missed, and whether it lived up to the emotional depth of its subject.
  • Planes, Trains and Automobiles Deep Dive: We analyze the infamous "F-Bomb" car rental scene and the emotional climax where Del Griffith (Candy) delivers his raw, heartbreaking "I like me" monologue. We also explore the wild fan theories: Is Del a guardian angel, the Devil, or is Steve Martin's character in purgatory?
  • The Vulnerability of a Comic Genius: We talk about John Candy's ability to imbue his characters, from Uncle Buck to Del, with profound sensitivity. We also reminisce about his iconic work on SCTV sketches like Lothar of the Hill People.
  • Host Confessions: Lisa shares her hilarious story of an awkward teenage musical audition, and Felipe discusses the times he's had his own "Steve Martin explosion" moment.
