On this Fathers Day recording, we visit John Candy&#8217;s \u201cThe Great Outdoors,\u201d a classic &#8217;80s comedy that holds a dear place in many a heart.<\/p>\n<p>Brothers Adam, Josh, and John R. commissioned \u201cThe Great Outdoors\u201d in honor of their late father and the childhood memories they built with him. Big D related to being a dad. Ash contrasted the idyllic mood of the movie with her own childhood vacations. And Gene was taken back to his summer fantasies of meeting a mean girl in a denim jacket.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the Shat Crew also covers The 96er, the endless animal gags, Dan Aykroyd&#8217;s oddly enjoyable performance, and bear dumps. But the real meat of this movie is laughing at jokes and situations that work BECAUSE we&#8217;ve seen them\u2014and lived them\u2014 so many times.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Plot Summary: \u201cThe Great Outdoors&#8221;<\/strong> It\u2019s vacation time for outdoorsy Chicago man Chet Ripley (John Candy), along with his wife, Connie (Stephanie Faracy), and their two kids, Buck (Chris Young) and Ben (Ian Giatti).
