The summer of 1982 was a blockbuster for sci-fi movies. Over the course of six consecutive weekends, eight movies in that genre premiered: E.T. Poltergeist. Tron. Blade Runner. Mad Max: Road Warrior. Conan the Barbarian. The Thing. Some were hits. Others were bombs. But all changed the course of filmmaking according to film critic Chris Nashawaty. In his new book, “The Future Was Now,” he shares behind the scenes details and explains why these films remain important today. We talk to Nashawaty and hear from you: How did these films impact you? Guest: Chris Nashawaty, author, "The Future Was Now: Madmen, Mavericks, and the Epic Sci-Fi Summer of 1982","Caddyshack: The Making of a Hollywood Cinderella Story"; former film critic, Entertainment Weekly
In this special episode of WN MOVIE TALK PODCAST Trev had decided to kick off a journey of rediscovery of the comedy movies of the 80s, and as he was about to begin this journey the Universe threw a coincidence of massive magnitude into his path, namely the movie A Futile and Stupid Gesture (2018) through which Trev discovered the life and times of Doug Kenney, co-founder of the National Lampoon Magazine and creator of such groundbreaking movies such as Animal House and Caddyshack. With comedy performers and collaborators in tow such as Harold Ramis, Bill Murray, John Belushi and Chevy Chase, Kenney and the National Lampoon set the stage for the comedy revolution that would shape the coming decade of cinema.If that wasn't enough of a coincidence, Trev also stumbled across the following books too, Wild and Crazy Guys – How the Comedy Mavericks of the 80s Changed Hollywood Forever and Caddyshack – The Making of A Hollywood Cinderella Story, again completely by chance, and which helped him to fill in the gaps, and so he thought that he would share what he had learnt about the origins of this era in cinema history.Read or Listen to the following books / audio books for a deeper dive into the 80's movies - Wild and Crazy Guys – How the Comedy Mavericks of the 80s Changed Hollywood Forever- https://amzn.to/3UPE63NCaddyshack – The Making of A Hollywood Cinderella Story - https://amzn.to/4bowPPKA Futile and Stupid Gesture - https://amzn.to/3UFl4xa Hosted on Acast.

Dan also has an opportunity to chat with Chris Nashawaty, who penned Caddyshack: The Making of a Hollywood Cinderella Story, to talk about his history with these movies, his book, and how he could imagine a new life for this old classic.Next episode: The Body-Swap films of the late 80sContact us, follow us on social media, or buy some merch at linktr.ee/RuinedChildhoods

Golf is pretty unique among sports in that it's played by people who stopped playing other sports, and by people who never played other sports. Good athletes can certainly become good golfers, but so too can bad athletes. Fit people play golf. Fat people play golf. Young. Old. Mobility issues. Special needs. Any body can play golf. Even baseball players.

Kornflake reports on FlopFest, her annual summer celebration featuring hammocks, sunburns, cover bands on trucks, and not enough vodka. She also reviews Solo: A Star Wars Story (quick version: not enough Tawny Kitaen) and visits a well-chlorinated, sea bird-infested water park. Then Kevin has concert reports on U2 (and their secret keyboardist), Jonathan Coulton (still singing about IKEA, as he should), and Aimee Mann (who treated the 80s nerds in the crowd to a 'Til Tuesday classic). Kevin also just saw Caddyshack on the big screen, so we share a little trivia from the new book Caddyshack: The Making of a Hollywood Cinderella Story. (For example: The highest paid cast member was the gopher.) And we're celebrating World Snake Day. Come slither with us.

Everyone’s favorite golf movie was shot in 1979, released in 1980 and riddled with behind-the-scenes cocaine usage. Yep, that was the making of Caddyshack. Author Chris Nashawaty joins the podcast to discuss his new book 'Caddyshack: The Making of a Hollywood Cinderella Story.' As Chris knows well, there was all kinds of hilarity involved in making a golf comedy, and not just heavy drug use. There was a young guy named Bill Murray in one of his first breakout roles, there was the actual casting of a gopher, and then there was Rodney Dangerfield perpetually pissing off Ted Knight. All that and more is included in Chris's book, which comes out next week. Until then, enjoy this conversation.
