It’s Candy Season. John Candy. This week we look back at the amazing career of a talented comedian and all around nice guy.
Let’s look at the great comedy performances of Canadian John Candy. From his groundbreaking time on SCTV to his prolific (but too short) career in the movies, he had a way of making us laugh and really care about his characters.

What we’re Enjoying
Jay is enjoying the latest MCU outing on Disney+ with Agatha All Along. This witchy series has a familiar feeling while also being pretty unique. You can check out new episodes through October. Shua has been lazy reading a 2007 BBC radio drama based on the Douglas Adams series Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency. It stars Harry Enfield, Billy Boyd, and academy award winner Olivia Coleman. Crazy fun British humor.

Enjoy John Candy!
John Candy was a Canadian actor, comedian, and all around nice guy. His humor was spotlighted on the series SCTV and expanded into the movies. Sometimes he played secondary characters, but other times he played a lovable and bumbling hero that we loved to root for. His life ended way too early, but he left us with some great comedy to enjoy for years to come.
Since we are closer and closer to Halloween, we pair some of the most popular candies with some of John Candy’s best movies. What a tasty way to laugh!
