This week marks 25 years since the film “Tommy Boy” was released. The movie tells the story of a son’s (Chris Farley) efforts to save his father’s auto parts manufacturing plant and the jobs of its workers. While a comedy, people in the manufacturing industry say the 1995 movie was prescient and reflects what’s happening in their field today.
We explore the issues with our guests:
- Ana Liss, acting director of the Monroe County Department of Planning and Development
- Matthew Sydor, program manager for Sydor Optics
- Adam Lubitow, film critic for CITY Newspaper
