This month on Watching Movies with My Pastor, we take a Thanksgiving road trip with Steve Martin and John Candy in John Hughes’ heartfelt classic Planes, Trains and Automobiles.
From malfunctioning airplanes to burned-out cars and frozen motel rooms, Neal and Del’s misadventures deliver some of the funniest moments of the 80s — but they also carry powerful lessons on patience, friendship, compassion, and gratitude.
Join us as we explore:
✈️ The film’s production and behind-the-scenes stories
🚗 John Candy’s emotional performance and improvisation
🚆 Why this movie became a Thanksgiving tradition
🎬 How John Hughes used comedy to tell a deeply human story
✝️ Biblical themes of humility, empathy, perseverance, and giving thanks
Pull up a seat, grab some pumpkin pie, and let’s break down this holiday classic together!
