    Jan 28 2026

    Good morning happy campers! Welcome to pcmc, your one-stop-shop for non-toxic fandom and pop culture ephemera. On today's episode, Mike is back with Emilio Sparks, and together they are talking about the film John Candy: I Like Me (2025). If you weren't here last week, the guys discussed John Candy's greatest film, Uncle Buck (check it out on our feed). This week, Mike and Emilio are diving deep into the Colin Hanks-directed documentary all about the big man himself and his lasting impact. The movie chronicles the life and career of the Canadian-born comedic legend, his rise to stardom and eventual early death. Mike loved the documentary, but Emilio wanted a little something more. Listen in to hear the whole conversation. If you like what you hear, be sure to subscribe anywhere you get your pods so you'll get all the new drops when they come out!
