POPULARITY
OK, with golf season fully underway, it's time to salute Caddyshack, one of the classic 1980s comedy that featured the directorial debut of Harold Ramis, the big screen breakthrough for Rodney Dangerfield, some arrogant Ted Knight, some crazed Bill Murray and a lineage that drew heavily from both Saturday Night Live and the National Lampoon. Don't worry too much about the plot -- it's merely a launchpad for comedy bits galore. Whether you're a hacker, a duffer, or a scratch golfer, Caddyshack has something for you. And if you are a real big fan, you can watch it wearing your "William Murray" golf gear and finish with a pint at the "Murray Brothers Caddyshack Restaurant" (yes it's real). As always, find extra clips below and thanks for sharing our shows. Want more Caddyshack? Bill Murray has had far larger roles over time, but he makes the most of his Caddyshack persona Carl Spackler, a groundskeeper who is just a little, shall we say, disturbed. https://youtu.be/X48G7Y0VWW4?si=QGiCSvUEMJQYbGRo Chevy Chase has never been better than as Ty Webb, a pro-level golfer who smirks his way through life. Here are some of Chevy's best bits. https://youtu.be/Al3Yt5gxExY?si=CwIlxkEJFpXJIbTG Rodney Dangerfield was the perfect choice to play Al Czervik, a loud, crass, and hilarious "slob" dropped in the middle of a bunch of country club "snobs". Here Al tries to goad the arrogant Judge Smalls (a brilliant Ted Knight) into a slice. https://youtu.be/RrOhjHC28PQ?si=MFzVjclP0mKa6fxi
This week we're taking a look at a classic sports comedy that blends zany humor with an underdog story. We're heading back 45 years to the upscale Bushwood Country Club where this movie revolves around a diverse group of quirky characters. Danny Noonan is a young caddy trying to earn a scholarship to pay for college. He attempts to win the favor of the eccentric club co-founder, Judge Smails, while navigating the antics of other colorful personalities, including Ty Webb, Al Czervik, lots of ladies and the assistant greenskeeper, Carl Spackler. There's also a gopher intent on tearing up the golf course and harassing all of its members. Rob, Dave and Kurt will tee off on this comedy classic checking out the highs and lows of this classic film. Caddyshack is known for its sharp one liners and memorable performances. Will Danny get the scholarship? Does Mrs. Smails ever get her stretch marks scrubbed? And where in the heck was Lacy when we were growing up? We'll cover all this and more as we play 18 with the cast of Caddyshack.

High school student Danny Noonan is conflicted over his future, unsure if he should go to college but worried about being stuck in a menial job with no prospects. Danny works as a caddie at the exclusive Bushwood country club catering to affluent clientele. Though he usually caddies for Ty Webb, a talented golfer and the friendly playboy son of the club's co-founder, Danny volunteers to caddie for the haughty Judge Elihu Smails, the club's other co-founder and director of the caddie college scholarship program. Meanwhile, mentally unstable greenskeeper Carl Spackler is tasked with killing a destructive gopher driven onto the course by work on the adjacent property development owned by Al Czervik. The loud-mouthed and unconvential nouvea riche Czervik attends the club as a guest, but his personality quickly earns Smails ire. After one encounter, Smails angrily throws his putter, injuring an elderly guest. Danny takes the blame for the incident to earn favor with Smails. At Bushwood's annual Fourth of July banquet, Danny and his girlfriend Maggie work as wait staff. Danny becomes attracted to Smails' promiscuous niece Lacey Underall who is visiting for the summer; She and Webb begin a brief affair. Later, Danny wins the Caddie Day golf tournament, earning him an invitation from Smails to attend the christening ceremony for his boat at the nearby Rolling Lakes Yacht Club. There, Lacey seduces Danny and the pair have sex. Smails returns home and catches them, angrily chasing Danny out of the house. Expecting to be fired, Danny is surprised when Smails only demands that he keeps the escapade secret in exchange for receiving the scholarship. Unable to tolerate Czervik's presence any longer, Smails announces that he will never be granted membership. Czervik counters that he is only interested in buying the club. After an exchange of insults, Czervik proposes a team golf match with Smails and his regular golfing partner Dr. Beeper against Czervik and Webb. Although Webb usually avoids all responsibilities or stress, and is reluctant to play under pressure, he agrees to join, and insults Smalls by saying that Webb's father never liked Smalls. Against club rules, they agree to a $20,000 wager on the match, which quickly doubles to $40,000. During the match the following day, Danny caddies for Smails but becomes frustrated with his constant cheating. Word spreads of the wager drawing a crowd of club members and employees to observe the game. Smails and Beeper take the lead while both Czervik and Webb struggle. Czervik reacts to Smails' heckling by impulsively doubling the wager to $80,000 per team. When his own ricocheting ball strikes his arm, Czervik feigns an injury in hopes of having the contest declared a draw but learns his team will forfeit unless they find a substitute. Webb selects a reluctant Danny and Smails threatens to revoke the scholarship, but after Czervik promises to compensate Danny, he decides to take Czervik's place. At the final hole, the score is tied. Judge Smails scores a birdie, requiring Danny to complete a difficult putt to draw even. Czervik raises the bet, offering double or nothing on Danny making the putt, which Smails reluctantly accepts. Danny's putt leaves the ball teetering over the edge of the hole seemingly costing him the game. At that moment, in his latest attempt to kill the gopher, Carl detonates plastic explosives that he has rigged around the golf course, shaking the ground and causing the ball to drop into the hole, handing Danny, Webb, and Czervik victory. While everyone begins to celebrate, Czervik sends enforcers after Smails to ensure he pays his share of the bet that will cover Danny's college scholarship. Meanwhile, Carl slinks off after seeing the destruction his explosives have wrought. Elsewhere on the course, the gopher emerges from underground relatively unscathed and dances to the song "I'm Alright" by Kenny Loggins.

While Ted Knight (Judge Smails), Rodney Dangerfield (Al Czervik), and Chevy Chase (Ty Webb) are also at the top of their game, Murray's Carl Spackler stands out as much as anyone else.

One out of every seven Americans will play at least one round of golf a year. As an avid golf, I can tell you with unwavering certainty that Carl Spackler, Al Czervik, and Ty Webb are quoted at least once during every round of golf played since 1980. So by the numbers, 40 million red blooded members of the U.S. of A. will hear one of the following quotes every year..."You'll get nothing and like it""So I got that going for me, which is nice""Thank you very little""Correct me if I'm wrong Sandy, but if I kill all the golfers they're gonna lock me up and throw away the key""Noonan, miss it, Noonan, Noonan""Somebody step on a duck?""You buy a hat like this I bet you get a free bowl of soup""Let's go, while we're young!""I bet you slice it into the woods, 100 bucks"Today on Buzzn The Tower we'll visit Bushwood Country Club as we cannonball our way through the most iconic golf movie ever, Caddyshack. I'm Mo Shapiro and joining me as always the Gunga to my Galunga, Max Sanders. And with that...

I’m alright. Nobody worry about me. Because we love watching movies. This week we take a look back at the 1980 classic comedy Caddyshack. For 40 years fans have been inspired by the wacky humor and quotable lines. Plus, it had a cool soundtrack. We also head to the arcade to play a legendary digital golf classic, Golden Tee. Caddyshack, it’s peppy soundtrack, and the arcade Golden Tee. In the NEWS The Battlestar Galactica is in energetic preparations on the Peacock streaming service Star Wars animation gets an exciting boost with the announcement of Bad Batch Jon Hamm will star at the title character in the Fletch reboot We Love Our Cereal The Roving Spoonster digs deep once again for the best in cereal news. After far too many years, we will finally be getting a female cereal mascot. Even if she is undead. Will South Koreans enjoy the much anticipated Green Onion Chex cereal? And put the matches away, because you won’t need a campfire to enjoy the new S’Mores cereal. Let’s All Go to the Movies - Caddyshack 40 years ago the guys that brought us National Lampoon set their sights on the golf course. Chevy Chase, Bill Murray, Rodney Dangerfield, and a variety of hilarious actors prove once again that bullies will get their come-uppance in any environment. Grab that 9-iron and be the ball. Vinyl Scratchback - Caddyshack soundtrack Kenny Loggins beat out Pink Floyd when got the opportunity to write songs for the movie. And he is still singing about how he’s “Alright” today. Plus, an iconic Journey song made it’s way into the movie. More specifically into Al Czervik’s golf bag. TechnoRetro Arcade - Golden Tee Some arcade games have medieval action. Some have enemies from space. Some have plumbers chasing turtles. But if you’re ready for something a little slower-paced, then we have a golf game for you. In 1989 Incredible Technologies gave us the strategic golf simulator “Golden Tee”. The series continued for years and was popular with those that would rather stay inside and swing the clubs.
Hosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi and William Thrasher discuss Caddyshack 2. New slobs face against new snobs including such comedy veterans as Jackie Mason and Jonathan Silverman. Caddyshack 2 was originally written as a lead vehicle for Rodney Dangerfield reprising his role as Al Czervik, but he turned it down because of the lame screenplay by Harold Ramis and PJ Torokvei. This covers a lot of the same beats of the original with a lighter PG touch. Dan Aykroyd and Randy Quaid aren't bad in their supporting stints, but the whole affair feels tired at best. Chevy Chase only remind one how much better he was in the original film; here, he's just reciting one liners.
