Forbidden Cinema 79 - National Lampoon’s Vacation

Pull over, folks... Zack has never seen this movie.  We watched the original Vacation from back in 1983.  Hold on, this movie has 80s racism, jokes about gun violence, animal cruelty, policing in need of reform, a lady we know only as a classic holiday film mom whipping her boobs out, cigarette machines, Harold Ramis as the voice of a moose, Anthony Michael Hall, Chevy Chase being mostly likable, a custom car build to be specifically ugly American, and a variety of roadside set pieces all across the American Southwest.

We get a classic road trip comedy, with a surprising amount of similarity to the script of Planes, Trains and Automobiles and we have a blast going along with the family.  We also see the groundwork set for arguably the more successful Christmas Vacation.  Hot take... Is that the best sequel ever filmed?
