As I mentioned on the previous Josh Gad videos, one of the better parts of everyone being in quarantine is that celebrities aren’t too busy to say no to doing interviews, and more importantly having reunions online, since no one has to leave the house. A little over a month ago, Gad, who already famously got some of the biggest names in Hollywood to troll Daisy Ridley about STAR WARS secrets for online entertainment, trumped them all with a new online show of sorts called “Reunited Apart”, and his big premiere episode brought back together the entire principal cast of THE GOONIES, along with key crew members and even Steven Spielberg and Cyndi Lauper. Then he did it again about a month ago with the cast of BACK TO THE FUTURE, or at least most of them. Then he did it again by bringing together the cast and crew of SPLASH for another entertaining gathering. Then he outdid himself by bringing back pretty much EVERYONE from THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING. His last installment might be my personal favorite, bringing the original GHOSTBUSTERS cast back together, minus a few familiar faces. Now he’s done it again, this time with the cast for FERRIS BUELLER’S DAY OFF, or at least most of them. Gad brings together Matthew Broderick (Ferris Bueller), Alan Ruck (Cameron Frye), Mia Sara (Sloane Peterson), Jennifer Grey (Jeanie Bueller), Cindy Pickett (Katie Bueller), Lyman Ward (Tom Bueller), and Ben Stein. Noticeably absent were Jeffrey Jones (who played Principal Ed Rooney) and Edie McClurg (Rooney’s secretary Grace), not to mention Charlie Sheen. But there’s a very nice tribute to writer/director John Hughes, featuring a LOT of familiar faces from his films. This is a LONG episode, but still seems to go by in a blink. Check out the full video below, in which you’ll hear the cast recite some of your favorite lines, and share personal stories from the set, even spill a few secrets in the process. I love that Gad is doing these, it’s a rare opportunity to celebrate a fan-favorite film, and these reunions are very unlikely to happen out in public… trust me, working in the convention world, I know.
