Out this week on blu-ray is a new John Hughes five movie collection.  Aptly titled, "John Hughes 5-Movie Collection," the included titles are:  "Ferris Bueller's Day Off;" "She's Having a Baby;" "Pretty in Pink;" "Some Kind of Wonderful;" and "Planes, Trains and Automobiles."

We're talking about all of them a little this week, but mostly Steve Martin because "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" is the best of the included titles.

Up today on the podcast we have Eliza Schroeder, whose new film "Love Sarah" is currently available on VOD.  The wide-ranging discussion goes into how the idea for the bakery came about, what it's like to try to film food, how long the characters have lived in her head, and whether or not the bakery in the story would survive COVID-19.
