    Episode 25: The Last Laugh (2019)
    Apr 22 2026
    The Last Laugh (2019) pairs Chevy Chase with Richard Dreyfuss for a cross-country road trip fueled by regret. Chase plays Al Hart, a sharp-tongued talent manager newly relocated to an assisted living community, who discovers his long-lost first client — the one who got away — is now his tour guide. Buddy Green (Dreyfuss) walked away from a spot on The Ed Sullivan Show fifty years ago and never looked back.

    As the penultimate stop on the Chasing Chevy Chase journey, this one carries some weight. Mike, Mark, and Chris take stock of where Chase lands in a film that's very much about looking back — at missed opportunities, faded careers, and the stubborn refusal to go quietly. It's a fitting subject for a podcast that's spent so much time doing exactly that: taking Chevy's career seriously, one film at a time.

    Episode 24: Vegas Vacation (1997)
    Mar 25 2026
    The Griswolds hit the Strip in Vegas Vacation (1997), the fourth installment in the beloved National Lampoon series and one that doesn't get nearly enough credit. Mark, Chris, and Mike cash in their chips on this sun-baked comedy that transplants Clark Griswold's particular brand of well-intentioned chaos from the open road to the neon-drenched excess of Las Vegas. Chase is at his most endearingly unhinged here — a man who can lose a fortune at the blackjack table while somehow radiating pure, oblivious optimism — and the guys make the case that this late-era entry deserves a second look from fans who wrote it off as a franchise on fumes.

    From the Hoover Dam to the casino floor, the trio dig into how Vegas itself becomes as much a character as any Griswold, and whether the film's sharper satirical edge on American excess and gambling addiction sneaks in something smarter than it's given credit for. Chevy Chase fatigue be damned — this one might just hit the jackpot.

    Episode 23: Man of the House (1995)
    Feb 25 2026
    Chevy Chase tries to trade sarcasm for step-dad duty in Man of the House, the 1995 family comedy that pairs him with sitcom royalty and a Tiger Scout troop. Mark, Chris, and Mike dig into Chase’s turn as a well-meaning attorney trying to win over his girlfriend’s skeptical son, played by Jonathan Taylor Thomas at peak mid-’90s fame. Add Farrah Fawcett, George Wendt, and a script credited to Don Calame, and you’ve got a movie engineered for broad appeal—and uneasy laughs.

    The guys weigh how the film fits into Chase’s post-Vacation trajectory, how it softens his prickly persona for family audiences, and why the culture-clash humor (complete with faux-Native American pageantry) lands differently today.
