Big Screen Science: Planes, Trains and Automobiles

Those aren't pillows, but you'll want to park your butt in a seat for this classic. It may not be science fiction, but there is plenty of science to dissect. Join Kishore Hari (@sciencequiche) and Jeff Silverman (@J_M_Silverman) as we figure out the quickest way from Wichita to Chicago, whether the car radio could have survived the fire, and the untold history of the fabled shower ring.

About Planes, Trains, and Automobiles
Hollywood has provided us with no shortage of classic Christmas films, but there is only ONE great Thanksgiving epic, and it is HERE. No fibbin'...this is the flat-out funniest holiday feature ever made, and deserves to stand tall in the ranks of Perfect Movies! John Candy gives his best-ever performance as shower curtain ring salesman Del Griffith, a carefree loser who takes uptight businessman Neal Page (Steve Martin) on the misadventure-ride of a lifetime. Thrill to flaming cars, maniacal hijinks, emotional blowouts and a faceful of really big, really dirty underwear.

Ages 18+ only.
