The Great Outdoors (1988)

On the latest episode of the Cult Film Club, hosts Jaime, Paxton and Shawn cling to the last vestiges of summer by digging into the 1988 John Hughes vacation flick The Great Outdoors. A semi-forgotten comedy gem, the film features one of the best performances from the late, great John Candy, as well as a scene-chewing role for Dan Aykroyd. Join us as we discuss our favorite scenes, the upbeat score, and the gnarly special effects on a bald bear's butt! This is a 96oz behemoth of an episode.
