S1 E1 • Planes, Trains & Automobiles (1987)

''THOSE AREN'T PILLOWS!''

In this, the very first SSSM episode, Dave and Tom set off on a nostalgic journey through the iconic soundtrack of Planes, Trains, and Automobiles.

This beloved comedy classic (starring John Candy and Steve Martin) features a diverse mix of music that perfectly captures the chaos, humour, and heart of the film. From catchy pop tunes to soulful ballads, the soundtrack adds depth and emotion to the unforgettable story of two mismatched travelers navigating the holiday rush. Join us as the lads cherry-pick their way through the tracks, discuss the artists behind the music, and share behind-the-scenes anecdotes. Warning; some mild daftness and choice language to be expected.

So buckle up, grab your headphones, and let's take a musical road trip down memory lane with the soundtrack to Planes, Trains, and Automobiles.
