This week we’re looking at Planes, Trains & Automobiles!

This one is a real holiday favourite for me, hilarious and heartwarming, as Neal Page (Steve Martin) tries to get home to his family for Thanksgiving, with the unwanted help of Del Griffith (John Candy).

We’ve done it Cornheads, a quarter century of episodes!

To celebrate this momentous occasion this week we are looking at the monumental Chinatown, directed by the controversial Roman Polanski, with one of the greatest screenplays ever written from the late great Robert Towne, and starring the immortal Jack Nicholson alongside Faye Dunaway.

This is undoubtedly one of my top 5 favourite films, and it always will be, it’s nothing short of magnificent.

This week we’re looking at Richard Linklater’s School of Rock!

Dewey Finn, an enthusiastic and somewhat obnoxious guitar player gets kicked out of his band. In his struggle to pay the rent, he ends up posing as his room mate Ned Shneebley, so he can work as a substitute teacher in a prestigious Prep school.

One of the greatest family films of the last 30 years, heartwarming and inspirational, with a terrific performance from Jack Black.

It was a film that parents could enjoy more than kids, but also introduced a new generation to classic rock music.

Let’s rock, let’s rock, today.

This week we’re looking at Happiness!

One of the most controversial films of the 90s, this film will absolutely split the room believe me.

The film is about emotionally isolated individuals, desperate for some sort of fulfilment in life. What makes the film so interesting and controversial is how it tries to find the humanity in, for the most part, the worst kind of people.

If you’re a fan of very very dark humour, this is for you, but good luck.

In this weeks episode we’re looking at Wim Wender’s Perfect Days.

The film follows Hirayama, a public toilet cleaner in Tokyo whose tranquil and peaceful life of isolation becomes gradually invaded by outside forces.

This is a truly beautiful and introspective film about the small joys of life, mindfulness, and living in the present.

We also talk beposke Japanese toilets, director Wim Wenders, living outside the modern world, the contrast of Western and Japanese culture, and our own mental health issues.

If you or anyone you know suffer from mental health issues, remember there is always support out there, whether it be from friends or professionals. It’s important we look out for each other. It can be just as easy as talking or listening to someone.
