No Notes: Planes, Trains & Automobiles
Join us for Kelly's pick as she serves up an all-time holiday
classic, the unspeakably great Planes, Trains & Automobiles. So grab a glass of wine or even some premature eggnog, and join us as we dive into an unmissable Thanksgiving/holiday favorite on this episode of NO NOTES.

Every action is more compelling and more moving when it's anchored in fully realized and developed characters. John Hughes wrote a beautiful movie.

Each component is astonishing on its own, but combined, they create something transcendent.”
