Season three has arrived just in time for Thanksgiving! Kicking off the new season, the Imbibe Cinema crew discuss John Hughes's Planes, Trains and Automobiles (1987), which features performances by Steve Martin, John Candy, Laila Robins, Michael McKean, Dylan Baker, Kevin Bacon, Edie McClurg, and more.

The featured cocktails for this post-screening discussion are Aviation gin on the rocks with a lime for "Planes," a Boxcar for "Trains," and a Automobile for, well, "Automobiles."

An irritable marketing executive, Neal Page, is heading home to Chicago for Thanksgiving when a number of delays force him to travel with a well meaning but overbearing shower curtain ring salesman, Del Griffith.

In this episode, Blue Whiskey Independent Film Festival Operations Director Jonathan C. Legat (co-host) is joined by Cinema Centennial Program Director Tricia Legat (co-host), and Executive Director Michael Noens (producer).

Remember to imbibe responsibly! If you haven't seen 'Planes, Trains and Automobiles,' watch the film before you listen to the episode.
