About this listen

We’re going low-stakes this week with 1988’s The Great Outdoors — a movie where the biggest threat isn’t a gun, a bomb, or a Nicolas Cage freakout… it’s Dan Aykroyd in a Speedo and a bear with a receding hairline.

Join Adam, Jeff, and Steve as they break down John Candy’s ultimate dad-meltdown vacation, discuss whether this movie even has a plot, debate the ethics of raccoons with subtitles, and pitch a Saturday morning cartoon spin-off complete with Happy Meal toys.

Also in this episode: – Adam’s new game “Bear, Beef, or BS” – Steve passionately defends this as a timeless classic – Jeff suddenly starts referring to himself in the third person and no one knows why – A surprise reveal of next week’s movie: The Money Pit – A vague update on Louis, who may be camping, missing, or attending a seminar

Low stakes? High laughs. It’s The Great Outdoors, Rewind or Die style.
