My friend Matt Moore and I have a Christmas week tradition of watching “Planes, Trains and Automobiles” together.

Weekly who really could pull off Steve Martin and John Candy…well, there was no way I couldn’t write this sketch!
The “snowpocalypse” striking the East Coast right before New Year’s Eve may strand two travelers together – just like they were in a classic movie comedy from the ’80’s!
