NLCS Game 5: Wagons East

Related Topics: John Candy, World Series

The title, if you don’t know, refers to a really godawful movie that was John Candy’s swan song…

I was a big John Candy fan, and he was iconic as Barf from Spaceballs and the security guard in the first Vacation movie. But this movie was pretty bad, and I only knew of it because it was one of the last ones Candy starred in before his tragic death over 20 years ago. It does serve our blog, however, as the Cubs won’t play any more baseball games west of the Mississippi this season no matter what.
