If you listened to our episode on Nothing But Trouble (1991), you'll know that this isn't the first Dan Aykroyd/John Candy film we've covered on the podcast. This perfect odd-couple duo brings the blowhard vs. pushover dynamic into the woods of Wisconsin for The Great Outdoors, written by John Hughes and directed by Howard Deutch.
