Plotaholics Podcast, Episode 127 – Canadian Bacon (with Al Grego)

Today, we have a buddy joins us at the bar. Al Grego, the host of The Produce Stand Podcast takes a break from peddling fruit to sit down with Bryan and Shane to have a discussion about a satire that is actually kind of frightening when you think about it.

In Canadian Bacon, the President of the United States (played by the great Alan Alda) has declining poll numbers. To fix his political career, his advisor wages a propaganda war against the most unlikely of antagonists….

This film, written and directed by Michael Moore (yes, that Michael Moore), stars the late great John Candy (in one of his final film roles before his untimely death), Rhea Pearlman, Bill Nunn, Kevin Pollack, and Rip Torn,  followed by cameos from greats such as Dan Aykroyd, James Belushi, Steven Wright, and many many more. So sit back, relax (How are ya, now?) and listen to The Plotaholics, with their special guest, Al, discuss Canadian Bacon.
