In part one of our discussion of the family road trip comedy classic National Lampoon’s Vacation, we first talk about some of the favorite vacations that we’ve had. Then, we reveal how we would recast four major characters, and five minor characters from the film. Along the way we talk about beefing up the ensemble’s potency a bit, and express concern about the Aunt Edna character (all the while offering up our best ensemble options yet for that role). Mix in some constructive criticism and lots of laughs (not surprisingly), and that’s part one!
