Summer is winding to a close, so we're ending on one of the heavy hitters of the summer movie genre: Vacation!

Happy 40th birthday! This movie is way darker than the other vacations! Is Cousin Eddie a creep? What's up with the looking at porn with your cousin business? Did Aunt Edna deserve it? How much does Clark suck?
