The Retro Network Drive-In

Holy Shnikes! The Retro Network proudly presents the first installment in our TRN Drive-In '95 series (previously exclusive to Patreon) to all of our listeners! One of the most beloved comedies not just of 1995 but all time is Tommy Boy starring Chris Farley and David Spade.

Listen as Jason and Mickey go through the film's history, give out awards for best scene and line, and explore little known facts. We'll also discuss the actors' history, some casting What Ifs, and even ask if the film should get another incarnation.

As promised during the podcast, check out these Tommy Boy resources on the web: Tommy Boy: Behind the Laughter documentary on YouTube and Fat Men, Little Coats: The Oral History of Tommy Boy by Film School Rejects.
