Octopus/Caveman and Peter celebrate the life of John Candy. This week we watched one of our favorites, Stripes from 1981. This film is a blast!

Octopus/Caveman and Peter celebrate the life of John Candy. This week we saw the Steven Spielberg movie 1941, from 1979. Please let us know if we are wrong, but we just didn’t enjoy it.
