Podcast appearances and mentions of Chevy Chase

Today on another encore episode of the Rarified Heir Podcast this Earth Day, we are talking to journalist Michael Simmons, son of National Lampoon co-founder & film producer Matt Simmons. We loved talking to Michael because there is so much history in the (almost) forgotten history of American humor magazine turned pop culture juggernaut, National Lampoon. Michael gives us behind the scenes stories about the fabled National Lampoon editorial offices in Manhattan circa 1974 which was a breeding ground for comedy and specifically Saturday Night Live writers and performers. We discuss National Lampoon stage shows with Chevy Chase, Harold Ramis, John Belushi & Gilda Radner that Michael was road manager when it hit the road. We hear about his dad's strange history as one of the founders the first credit card company, Diner's Club in the 1950s & how it led to National Lampoon. We even get into the history of how National Lampoon came into existence, birthed out of the Harvard Lampoon and even before that. Michael gives us a firsthand account of what it was like being in the offices of National Lampoon before and after films like National Lampoon's Animal House & National Lampoon's Vacation launched the brand mainstream. What's more we hear stories about Harold Ramis got nervous flyer Gilda Radner on a plane she didn't want to get on, Wilt Chamberlain giving him a ride on his shoulders and how he became an award winning journalist in Los Angeles writing about vice squad busts and later, music journalism. So sit back and take a listen to a fascinating story about how National Lampoon begat everything from Second City and This is Spinal Tap to SCTV and The Credibility Gap. It's all here on the Rarified Heir Podcast. Take a listen.

Another light week for physical media but a fun one – especially for those nostalgic for the early ‘90s. Peter Sobczynski joins Erik Childress to talk about Criterion's upgrade of a multi-part French masterpiece from the ‘80s. They share thoughts on The Most Dangerous Game riff that got snakebit by real-world tragedies and Covid. Goldie Hawn and Chevy Chase try to prevent the assassination of the pope. No, not that one. One of the late Val Kilmer's most iconic performances gets the 4K upgrade. The duo also share their fondness for one of the most entertaining comic thriller team-ups of the era and discuss the history of the movie John Hughes tried to take his name off while Erik lent his name to the commentary track on the Blu-ray. 1:55 - Criterion (Jean de Florette/Manon of the Spring 4K) 8:41 - Shout (The Hunt 4K) 13:54 - Kino (Foul Play 4K, Sneakers 4K, Career Opportunities 4K) 53:08 - Disney (Tombstone 4K) 1:06:03 - New TV On Blu-ray (Cheyenne: The Complete Series, Captain Planet and the Planeteers: The Complete Franchise, Hysteria: Season One)  1:09:15 - New Blu-ray Announcements CLICK ON THE FILMS TO RENT OR PURCHASE AND HELP OUT THE MOVIE MADNESS PODCAST

QUE SERA, SERA, What will be, will be, is what they say. However, what I say is that finally, Episode 122 of Pop Art is now up. Yes, Pop Art, the podcast where we find the pop culture in art and the art in pop culture.  So get out those second amendment rights, as Jason Soto of the Rabbit Hole Podcasts and I discuss Goldie Hawn and Chevy Chase in Foul Play and Jimmy Stewart and Doris Day in Hitchcock's remake of his own film The Man Who Knew Too Much, two movies about ordinary people woh get swept up in an assassination plot.  As a side note, I could use a lot more followers and reviews. So give a guy a break and rhapsodize poetic while talking about how much you love what I have to say.  Jason and I especially had a great discussion on paranoia and conspiracy in films, comparing the two versions of the Hitchcock film, and praising Dudley Moore's breakout performance.  Also check out the Rabbit Hole Podcast at https://rabbitholepodcasts.com/author/whateverjasonsoto/ It is a virtual treasure trove of goodies to listen to when it comes to pop culture.  Check out my blog at https://howardcasner.wordpress.com/  My books, More Rantings and Ravings of a Screenplay Reader, The Starving Artists and Other Stories and The Five Corporations and One True Religion can be found at https://www.amazon.com/s?k=howard+casner&ref=nb_sb_noss   Be sure to like, follow or comment on my podcast.

Bill Murray, Eddie Murphy, Chevy Chase, Steve Martin, John Belushi, John Candy, Rick Moranis. Animal House, The Blues Brothers, Beverly Hills Cop, Caddyshack, The Jerk, Ghost Busters, ¡Three Amigos!, Funny Farm, Spaceballs, Stripes.

In 1978, after Harold Ramis wrapped "Animal House", the director teamed up with pals Brian Doyle-Murray and Douglas Kenney, along with Chevy Chase, Bill Murray, Ted Knight, and the one and only, Rodney Dangerfield, to bring similar frathouse shenanigans to the clubhouse. Featuring legendary performances (many of which were completely improvised) plus an equally memorable soundtrack, this 80s flick came barreling into theaters the summer of 1980, and went on to become one of the most cherished comedies of all time. Widely considered to be one of the all-time funniest comedies ever assembled, the film about a young golf caddy (Michael O'Keefe) desperate to win a scholarship and turn his life around has been listed #71 on AFI's 100 Years...100 Laughs and #7 on AFI's Top 10 Sports Films. So grab your golf clubs, watch out for gopher holes, and remember to be the ball as Tim Williams and guest co-hosts, Nicolas Pepin and Chris McMichen discuss “Caddyshack” from 1980 on this episode of the 80s Flick Flashback Podcast.Here are some additional behind-the-scenes trivia we were unable to cover in this episode:Cindy Morgan revealed that the oil massage scene with Chevy Chase was entirely improvised. When Lacy exclaims, "You're crazy!" that was Morgan's authentic reaction to Chase dousing her with oil, which was also the case with Chase's reply, "That's what they said about the Son Of Sam.”Writer and producer Douglas Kenney died after the film was released. He fell off a cliff while vacationing in Hawaii. Kenney had experienced deep depression after the film's post-production, as much of the original story had been significantly altered in the editing room, and he was strongly opposed to the final addition of the gopher to the film.Sources:Wikipedia, IMDB, Box Office Mojohttps://www.mentalfloss.com/article/56693/15-things-you-might-not-know-about-caddyshackhttps://screenrant.com/caddyshack-movie-behind-scenes-making-of-trivia/Some sections were composed or edited by ChatGPT We'd love to hear your thoughts on our podcast!

In tempi così tetri come questi dove la nebbia è più minacciosa che mai, in cui non possiamo fare un nuovo presidente e forse anche il Signore del Male è in agguato...beh, perché non andare a trovare il buon vecchio John Carpenter insieme al suo cinema così cinico eppure irresistibile? Povero Carpenter. Il pubblico sembra averlo abbandonato e ciò lo spingerà tra le braccia di una sorta di ultima spiaggia: Chevy Chase. E quindi ecco il tutt'altro che memorabile "Avventure di un uomo invisibile".

It's the movie that nearly ended John Carpenter's career! Come back with us to 1992, as we discuss Memoirs of an Invisible Man, the monster movie flop that starred one of Hollywood's most legendary jerks, Chevy Chase. Join us as we delve into the film and try to decide which SNL character is a dead ringer for Chevy in this movie. We also discover this film's strange connection to Halloween III: Season of the Witch, as well as some behind-the-scenes drama involving its stars.

In this episode of The Rewatch Party, Nick and Anthony take a hilarious trip back to 1998 with Dirty Work, the cult comedy starring Norm Macdonald and Artie Lange. Known for its offbeat humor and relentless one-liners, this film has developed a strong following despite its initial lukewarm reception. Anthony, a longtime fan of Norm Macdonald's deadpan delivery, is eager to defend the movie's comedic brilliance, while Nick, always ready with a critical eye, questions whether Dirty Work still holds up after all these years. As they dive into the film's absurd plot—where two down-on-their-luck friends start a revenge-for-hire business—Nick and Anthony break down some of the most outrageous and memorable gags. From the running jokes about Chris Farley's unfortunate nose situation to the ridiculous pranks Norm's character pulls on his enemies, the hosts debate whether the humor is timeless or simply a product of the late ‘90s. Nick isn't convinced that all the jokes land, but Anthony argues that Norm's signature style makes the film endlessly quotable. They also discuss the film's place in comedy history, particularly how it showcases Norm Macdonald's unique brand of humor. With appearances from comedy legends like Don Rickles and Chevy Chase, Dirty Work certainly had the potential to be a bigger hit. The hosts reflect on why the movie never found mainstream success and how it later gained cult status, especially among fans of Norm's stand-up and Saturday Night Live work. By the end of the episode, Nick and Anthony weigh in on whether Dirty Work deserves a spot in the rewatchable hall of fame. Anthony insists that it's a must-watch for fans of irreverent, no-frills comedy, while Nick admits that while he may not love every joke, the film's sheer ridiculousness and Norm's delivery make it a fun ride. Whether you're a die-hard Norm Macdonald fan or just looking for a dose of late ‘90s comedy nostalgia, this episode delivers plenty of laughs and debate on Dirty Work's lasting appeal. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120654/

Dianne is out on a very special assignment so Chris is joined by guest host (and real-life SAG voter) Ian Brodsky to discuss everything from the future of James Bond to Mike White's extremely specific references. Featuring our predictions for Season 3 of The White Lotus on HBO (uh, yes, we're going to talk about what's going on with the “Will They? Won't They” Brothers). But first! So much streaming, including: The best moments from the NBC SNL50 special (also Chevy Chase was there). Our undying love for the just-wrapped first season of ABC's High Potential. A ratings update on The Night Agent and Ian's elevator pitch for why Black Doves should be your next Netflix spy fix. And some big surprises from some even bigger personalities behind some of the world's biggest IP: Kathleen Kennedy plans to step aside at Star Wars and the Broccoli family finally relinquishes the keys to the James Bond kingdom (we're pitching our Bonds for Bezos, of course). Correction: Michael Wilson is Barbara Broccoli's half brother, not stepbrother. Stepbrothers were just on the mind this week! ———

Nathan and Ryan dive into Nothing But Trouble (1991), one of the most bizarre and infamous comedies of the early '90s. Written and directed by Dan Aykroyd, this chaotic fever dream follows a group of yuppies (Chevy Chase, Demi Moore) who find themselves trapped in the twisted world of Judge Alvin Valkenheiser (Aykroyd in grotesque makeup). With surreal humor, nightmare-inducing visuals, and a cameo by Digital Underground, does this cult oddity deserve a second look, or is it best left in cinematic purgatory? Join the discussion as the hosts dissect this infamous misfire!

Nick looks back at the one and only time Jodie Foster hosted Saturday Night Live on November 27, 1976. At just 14 years old, Foster became the youngest host in the show's history—until Drew Barrymore took the title in 1982 at the age of 7. Despite her talent, Foster was a nervous wreck, thrown into live television for the first time with material written by people who had no idea how to craft sketches for a teenage host. The result was a bizarre, sometimes uncomfortable episode filled with sketches ranging from mildly insulting to downright creepy. Nick revisits key moments from the show, breaking down the awkwardness, the behind-the-scenes struggles, and the transitional state of SNL at the time—Chevy Chase had just left, Bill Murray hadn't yet arrived, and the cast and writers seemed lost.

This week we discuss the awful Dan Aykryod and Chevy Chase film, Nothing But Trouble.

Send us a textKatie and Bridget hijack a snow plow as they re-watch the Nickelodeon movie: Snow Day! It's a movie all about how "anything can happen on a Snow Day!" - particularly lots of felonies, stalking, and engagement in every single winter sport that's ever existed. WE SAID ANYTHING GUYS! Come along as we meet Natalie, a girl with possible early onset schizophrenia who wishes for a Snow Day and gets her wish granted with a possible magic snow globe! But Natalie's not satisfied with just one snow day, she wants the apparently "impossible" double snow day ...Did we mention this takes place in Syracuse, NY? With the help of her friends they work to take down the evil Snow Plow Man. Oh yeah there's also a terrible stalking subplot with her older brother Hal and some of his friends, but honestly that storyline is just so terrible and creepy so we'll spare you the nonsense. We've got random cameos, little Josh Pecks, and a bird named Trudy all wrapped up into this time period of a film. Released in 2000, it stars Chevy Chase, Schuyler Fisk, Jean Smart, Mark Webber, Chris Elliott, Pam Grier, Josh Peck, Zena Grey, Damian Young, and Rozonda 'Chilli' Thomas.

People are poking fun at Chevy Chase for doing Online ads for a Kalihari Waterpark resort. It's an obvious play on the movies where he plays Clark Griswald. What are these movies?

Saturday Night Live has been a staple for all of us. This year, the late-night institution is celebrating its 50th season, so we thought, why not honor SNL with a review of Jason Reitman's amazing comedy film SATURDAY NIGHT? The original cast of Gilda Radner, Laraine Newman, Jane Curtin, Garrett Morris, Dan Aykroyd, Chevy Chase, and John Belushi are played by near-no-name actors Ella Hunt, Emily Fairn, Kim Matula, Lamorne Morris, Dylan O'Brien, Cory Michael Smith, and Matt Wood, respectively. SATURDAY NIGHT received the top honor for Best Ensemble Cast by the Music City Film Critics' Association awards, and it's easy to see why.

(00:00-11:15) Favorite Cardinal walk-up songs. David Freese's homerun leading the Gallup Poll. Marcel Ozuna climbing the wall on MLB The Show. The Pat MacAfee/Morgan Wallen playbook. Bro-sourcing.

Jackson's fantasy baseball shortcomings. (21:29-34:24) Jackson's been crushing SNL tape. SNL chatter. Doug kept it real at Kirkwood. Comparing Nolan Arenado and Chevy Chase.

James Baldwin's “Going to Meet the Man” is a powerful short story that describes the life of Jesse, a 42-year-old white police officer whose experiences alternate between his present-day struggles with impotence and his memories of racial violence. As the narrative unfolds a pivotal childhood memory of a lynching, sets the tone and comes to represent the fundamental weakness of white supremacy. His need for racist violence to regain potency suggests that the system of white supremacy requires constant reinforcement to maintain itself. Projective identification, a powerful mechanism of defense, also plays a significant role in exploring the complex psychological dynamics of racism and its impact on both the oppressor and the oppressed.
