Sacred Texts – Planes, Trains, and Automobiles (1987) – E169
Episode 169
Wednesday, 26 November, 2025

We’re back with our Sacred Texts series, and we’re discussing Planes, Trains, and Automobiles (1987). One of John Hughes’ finest, not to mention John Candy and Steve Martin, this is a *truly 80’s* flick that deserves a revisit. While the comedy style, jokes, and set pieces might induce some millennial cringe, the deeper story about carrying your grief, dealing with adversity, and having grace for your fellow man makes this one of Tristan’s favorites of the season.Sacred Texts can be art in any medium that you internalize, reflect upon, and find worth or inspiration through beyond the original presentation. These movies or shows could impact you in a number of ways, and they could be Sacred because they are family touchstones, or because of their impact at a certain time in your life, or indicative of a change in your outlook, or for any number of reasons.We hope you enjoy our episode today, give the film a watch (linked in our show notes), and then keep an eye out for our last Sacred Texts of the year coming next month.Enjoy!—Watch the Sacred Text we discussed today: - Planes, Trains, and Automobiles (1987) — Watch on Kanopy, or rent on VOD.—Fan of The Indie Magazine & Podcast?
