"Joanie Loves Chachi" is an ABC sitcom that aired from 1982-1983. It was a "Happy Days" spin-off that followed Joanie Cunningham and Chachi Arcola to Chicago where they pursued music careers and furthering their relationship. After the initial curiosity wore off, ratings declined rapidly. ABC decided to pull the plug, and both Joanie and Chachi were written back into Happy Days for its final season. "Joanie Loves Chachi" has become something of a punchline in TV history, often cited as an example of a failed spin-off. Will the S1E1 boys disagree? Listen as they deep dive the show's pilot episode, "Chicago". Starting: Erin Moran, Scott Baio, Al Molinaro, Ellen Travolta, Art Metrano, Tom Bosley, & Marion Ross www.S1E1POD.com Instagram & X (Twitter): @S1E1POD

You'll detect, by his accent, that Scott Baio was born in Brooklyn, New York. He rocketed to fame as Chachi, the charming cousin of the Fonz on Happy Days. His chemistry with Joanie was so electric that it sparked the spin-off “Joanie Loves Chachi.” And let's not forget his role as the ultimate live-in-babysitter in “Charles in Charge.” Later he stepped into the director's chair and did some more acting, including a made for TV movie that was filmed in Madison. It's a film that's featured on YouTube. Scott said he loved filming in Wisconsin and working with state athletes. But he almost forgot his name during a quick promo at the end of the interview.

Actor Scott Baio joins the Tim DeMoss Show today to discuss the new film God's Not Dead: In God We Trust (in theatres Thursday September 12). Baio, known for his roles on TV shows "Happy Days" & "Charles In Charge" (among others), plays John Wesley, political advisor to Senator Peter Kane (Ray Wise). Kane runs for office emphasizing his belief there's no room for God in the execution of government. Reverend David Hill (David A.R. White), a small-town pastor, steps up to run against Senator Kane with the help of Lottie Jay (Samaire Armstrong), a former political PR expert in her own right. The fight becomes a beacon of hope for people seeking moral leadership in a divided world, with encouragement to viewers to cast their vote and be counted. Newsboys, as they have with previous "God's Not Dead" films, appear in this newest installation in the series--both as actors and through their music, with three songs from their new "Worldwide Revival Part 1" album featured. Our partnership with GFA World continues as well, seeking to send 2000 copies of God's Word this month to Africa & Asia. To help, please pray...and if you'd like to give a copy ($5 per), 1 866 659-7361 and the GFA World banner at wfil.com are the two main ways to do so (thank you!)

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (09/26/2023): 3:05pm- According to reporting from Alex Thompson of Axios, “Democrats, including some in the administration, are terrified that Biden will have a bad fall—with a nightmare scenario of it happening in the weeks before the November 2024 election.” Consequently, Biden has been doing exercises to improve his balance and his team has a “mission” to prevent him from tripping. You can read the full report here: https://www.axios.com/2023/09/26/biden-trip-2024-campaign-sneakers 3:30pm- Philadelphia Municipal Judge Wendy Pew has dismissed all charges against former Philadelphia police officer Mark Dial who was accused of shooting and killing Eddie Irizarry during a traffic stop last month. Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner announced he will appeal the decision.

In a separate segment, CNN host Jim Acosta outlandishly claimed that the crisis at border was merely a Republican “talking point” and that there was no proof that the “border is open.” Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy slammed those comments noting that more than 10,000 migrants are crossing the Southern border and entering the United States every day. 4:10pm- According to reports, Target will close nine stores nationally in response to unmitigated thefts in major cities which have cost the retail store an estimated $700 million. 4:15pm- On November 30th, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) will debate California Governor Gavin Newsom in a 90-minute broadcast on Fox News. The debate will be moderated by Sean Hannity. 4:20pm- Ryan Mills of National Review writes: “San Francisco leaders are preparing to ramp up efforts to clean up and clear out homeless camps in the city after the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals clarified that people who decline shelter should not be classified as ‘involuntarily homeless.'” He continues: “San Francisco mayor London Breed announced Monday that the clarification provides the city with a ‘path forward' to enforce laws against ‘voluntarily homeless individuals.'” You can read Mills' full article here: https://www.nationalreview.com/news/san-francisco-prepares-to-clear-homeless-camps-after-court-clarifies-definition-of-involuntarily-homeless/ 4:40pm- Jerry Connor of the MC-LEF Philadelphia Committee and Tony Boyle, retired Philadelphia Police Department Chief Inspector and MC-LEF National Committee member, join The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the 2023 Marine Corps-Law Enforcement Foundation (MC-LEF) Gala on October 28th. Marine Corps Col. Harvey “Barney” Barnum joins the conversation as well—a Medal of Honor recipient who served in Vietnam. There is even a U.S. Navy destroyer that bears his name! You can learn more about the MC-LEF Gala here: https://www.mclefphila.org/events-overview 5:00pm- Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) have arrived at an agreement on a stopgap spending plan that would avert a government shutdown and fund the government through mid-November. The agreement would include a reported $6 billion in additional aid for Ukraine. In response to the agreement, Sen. J.D. Vance tweeted: “This will certainly lead to a government shutdown. Democrats won't fix our border but will shut down the government unless we fund Ukraine. Disgraceful.” According to reports, Sen. Rand Paul may use Senate procedural tools to challenge the Ukrainian aid package—delaying the bill's arrival in the House of Representatives. Does the bill have any chance to pass in the House? It's likely Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy would need to rely on Democrat votes if he chose to bring the bill to the floor for a vote—which could ultimately result in a Republican-led challenge to his speakership. 5:20pm- In response to a potential government shutdown, President Joe Biden said: "Funding the government is one of the most basic fundamental responsibilities of Congress and if the Republicans in the House don't start doing their job, we should stop electing them." 5:30pm- Rich gains entrance to an elite fishing club—but he doesn't know how to fish.

Joe Biden's Delaware home is listed as the beneficiary address for both money wires from China.” You can read Comer's full statement here: https://twitter.com/RepJamesComer/status/1706777879290290624 6:15pm- On Tuesday, President Joe Biden visited United Auto Workers (UAW) picket lines in Van Buren Township, Michigan to show support for their strike against automotive manufacturers Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis. Interestingly, some striking workers are blaming the administration's emphasis on electric vehicle production for reduced company earnings and a loss of jobs. 6:20pm- During a campaign rally in South Carolina, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump spoke out about offshore wind development and its link to the sudden surge in whale deaths. Many environmental experts hypothesize that offshore wind development's use of sonar to map the ocean's floor prevents whales from communicating with one another and inhibits accurate navigation. In response to Trump's warning, MSNBC's Morning Joe mocked the former U.S. President and completely dismissed his claims. 6:40pm- Will there be a reboot of “The Office”?

On this episode, we continue our informal miniseries on the 1980s movies of director Martha Coolidge with a look back at her 1985 under appreciated classic, Real Genius. ----more---- TRANSCRIPT From Los Angeles, California, the Entertainment Capital of the World, it's The 80s Movies Podcast. I am your host, Edward Havens. Thank you for listening today. Before we hop in to today's episode, I want to thank every person listening, from whatever part of the planet you're at. Over the nearly four years I've been doing this podcast, we've had listeners from 171 of the 197 countries, and occasionally it's very surreal for this California kid who didn't amount to much of anything growing to think there are people in Myanmar and the Ukraine and other countries dealing with war within their borders who still find time to listen to new episodes of a podcast about 33 plus year old mostly American movies when they're released. I don't take your listenership lightly, and I just want you to know that I truly appreciate it. Thank you. Okay, with that, I would like to welcome you all to Part Three of our informal miniseries on the 1980s movies of director Martha Coolidge. When we left Ms. Coolidge on our previous episode, her movie Joy of Sex had bombed, miserably. But, lucky for her, she had already been hired to work on Real Genius before Joy of Sex had been released. The script for Real Genius, co-written by Neal Israel and Pat Proft, the writers of Bachelor Party, had been floating around Hollywood for a few years. It would tell the story of a highly intelligent high school kid named Mitch who would be recruited to attend a prestigious CalTech-like college called Pacific Tech, where he would be teamed with another genius, Chris, to build a special laser with their professor, not knowing the laser is to be used as a weapon to take out enemy combatants from a drone-like plane 30,000 feet above the Earth. ABC Motion Pictures, a theatrical subsidy of the American television network geared towards creating movies that could be successful in theatres before playing on television, would acquire the screenplay in the early 1980s, but after the relative failure of a number of their initial projects, including National Lampoon's Class Reunion and Young Doctors in Love, would sell the project off to Columbia Pictures, who would make the film one of the first slate of films to be produced by their sister company Tri-Star Pictures, a joint venture between Columbia, the cable network Home Box Office, and, ironically, the CBS television network, which was also created towards creating movies that could be successful in theatres before playing on television. Tri-Star would assign Brian Grazer, a television producer at Paramount who had segued to movies after meeting with Ron Howard during the actor's last years on Happy Days, producing Howard's 1982 film Night Shift and 1984 film Splash, to develop the film. One of Grazer's first moves would be to hire Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel, writers on Happy Days who helped to create Laverne and Shirley and Joanie Loves Chachi, to rewrite the script to attract a director. Ganz and Mandel had also written Night Shift and rewrote the script for Splash, and Grazer considered them his lucky charm. After trying to convince Ron Howard to board the project instead of Cocoon, Grazer would create a list of up and coming filmmakers he would want to work with. And toward the top of that list was Martha Coolidge. Coolidge would naturally gravitate towards Real Genius, and she would have an advantage that no other filmmaker on Grazer's list would have: her fiancee, Michael Backes, was himself an egghead, a genius in physics and biochemistry who in the years to come would become good friends with the writer and filmmaker Michael Crichton, working as a graphics supervisor on the movie version of Chricton's book Jurassic Park, a co-writer of the screenplay based on Chricton's book Rising Sun, and an associate producer on the movie version of Chricton's book Congo. Once Coolidge was signed on to direct Real Genius in the spring of 1984, she and Backes would work with former SCTV writer and performer PJ Torokvei as they would spend time talking to dozens of science students at CalTech and USC, researching laser technology, and the policies of the CIA. They would shape the project to something closer to what Grazer said he loved most about its possibility, the possibility of genius. "To me,” Grazer would tell an interviewer around the time of the film's release, “a genius is someone who can do something magical, like solve a complex problem in his head while I'm still trying to figure out the question. I don't pretend to understand it, but the results are everywhere around us. We work, travel, amuse ourselves and enhance the quality of life through technology, all of which traces back to what was once an abstract idea in the mind of some genius.” When their revised screenplay got the green light from the studio with an $8m budget, Grazer and Coolidge got to the task of casting the film. While the young genius Mitch was ostensibly the lead character in the film, his roommate Chris would need a star to balance out the relative obscurity of his co-star. A number of young actors in Hollywood would be seen, but their choice would be 25 year old Val Kilmer, whose first movie, Top Secret!, had not yet opened in theatres but had hot buzz going for it as the followup film for the Airplane! writing/directing team of Zucker, Abrahams and Zucker. Fourteen year old Gabe Jarret, whose only previous film work had been in a minor role in the 1981 Tony Danza/Danny DeVito comedy Going Ape!, would land the coveted role of Mitch, while supporting roles would go to Coolidge's former costars Michelle Meyrink, Deborah Foreman and Robert Prescott, as well as William Atherton, who at the time was on movie screens as Walter Peck, the main human antagonist to the Ghostbusters, as Chris and Mitch's duplicitous professor, Jerry Hathaway, and Patti D'Arbanville, who had made a splash on screens in 1981 as Chevy Chase's long-suffering girlfriend in Modern Problems. Shooting would begin on Real Genius in Southern California on November 12th, 1984. Most of the film would be shot on sets built at the Hollywood Center Studios, just a few blocks west of the Paramount Studios lot, while several major set pieces, including the memorable finale involving Professor Hathaway's house, a space laser and 190,000 pounds of popcorn, were shot in the then quiet suburban area of Sand Canyon, a few miles east of Magic Mountain, a popular theme park and filming area about 45mins north of Hollywood Center Studios. Outdoor scenes standing in for the Pacific Tech campus would be filmed at Occidental College in Eagle Rock and Pomona College in Claremont, while some scenes would be filmed at General Atomics outside San Diego, standing in for an Air Force base in the film's climax. Shooting on the film would finish after the first of the year, giving Coolidge and her editor, Richard Chew, about seven months to get the film in shape for a planned August 7th, 1985, release. Going in to the Summer 1985 movie season, Real Genius was positioned to be one of the hit films of the summer. They had a hot up and coming star in Val Kilmer, a hot director in Martha Coolidge, and a fairly solid release date in early August. But then, there ended up being an unusual glut of science fiction and sci-fi comedy movies in the marketplace at the same time. In March, Disney released the dinosaur-themed Baby: Secret of the Lost Legend, which was not a good film and bombed pretty bad. In June, there was the artificial intelligence film D.A.R.Y.L., which was not a good film and bombed pretty bad. In July, there was Back to the Future, which was a very good film and became one of the biggest successes of the year, and there was Explorers, Joe Dante's followup to Gremlins, which featured Ethan Hawke and River Phoenix as teenage boys who build their own spacecraft to explore outer space, and although it was one of the best movies released in the summer of 1985, it too bombed pretty bad. But then, in a seven day period in early August, we had Weird Science, which was not very good and not very successful, Real Genius, and My Science Project, another Disney movie about a glowing orb thing from outer space that causes a lot of problems for a lazy high school student looking for something to use for his science class final, which is one of the worst movies of the year, and bombed worse than any of the other movies mentioned. Weird Science, John Hughes' followup to his surprise hit The Breakfast Club, released only six months earlier, would open on August 1st, and come in fourth place with $4.9m from 1158 theatres. In its second weekend of release, Weird Science would lose 40% of its opening weekend audience, coming in fifth with $2.97m. But that would still be better than Real Genius, which opened on Wednesday, August 5th, which would come in sixth in its opening weekend, with $2.56m from 990 locations. My Science Project, opening on August 7th, could only manage to open in 13th place with $1.5m from 1003 theatres. That would be worse than a reissue of E.T. in its fourth weekend of release. In its second weekend, Real Genius would only drop 14% of its opening weekend audience, coming in with $2.2m from 956 locations, but after a third weekend, losing a third of its screens and 46% of its second week audience, Real Genius would be shuttled off to the dollar houses, where it would spend another seventeen weeks before exiting theatres with only $12.95m worth of tickets sold. However, it is my personal opinion is that the film failed to find an audience because it was perceived as being too smart for a simple audience. Real Genius celebrates intelligence. It doesn't pander to its audience. In many ways, it belittles stupidity, especially Mitch's moronic parents. Revenge is dished out in the most ingenious ways, especially at the end with Professor Hathaway's house, to the point where the science behind how Chris and Mitch did what the did is still actively debated thirty-eight years later. Caltech students served as consultants on the film, and played students in the background, while Dr. Martha Gunderson, a physics professor at USC whose vast knowledge about lasers informed the writers during the development stage, played a math professor on screen. Finally, to help promote the film, Martha Coolidge and producer Brian Grazer held the first-ever online press conference through the CompuServe online service, even though there were less than 125,000 on the entire planet who had CompuServe access in August 1985. Today, the film is rightfully regardless as a classic, but it wouldn't make Val Kilmer a star quite yet. That, of course, would happen in 1986, when he co-starred as Tom Cruise's frenemy in Tony Scott's Top Gun. Gabe Jarret would eventually become Gabriel Jarret, appearing in such movies as Karate Kid 3, Apollo 13 and The American President, and he continues to work in movies and on television to this day. Sadly, the same cannot be said for Michelle Meyrink, who would quit acting three years after making Real Genius, but we'll talk about that on our next episode. And, of course, William Atherton would cement his reputation as the chucklenut Gen Xers love to hate when he played the cocky television reporter Dick Thornburg in the first two Die Hard movies. And with that, we come to the end of this episode. Thank you for joining us. We'll talk again next week, when Episode 111, on Coolidge's 1988 comedy Plain Clothes, is released.

I am your host, Edward Havens. Thank you for listening today. Before we hop in to today's episode, I want to thank every person listening, from whatever part of the planet you're at. Over the nearly four years I've been doing this podcast, we've had listeners from 171 of the 197 countries, and occasionally it's very surreal for this California kid who didn't amount to much of anything growing to think there are people in Myanmar and the Ukraine and other countries dealing with war within their borders who still find time to listen to new episodes of a podcast about 33 plus year old mostly American movies when they're released. I don't take your listenership lightly, and I just want you to know that I truly appreciate it. Thank you. Okay, with that, I would like to welcome you all to Part Three of our informal miniseries on the 1980s movies of director Martha Coolidge. When we left Ms. Coolidge on our previous episode, her movie Joy of Sex had bombed, miserably. But, lucky for her, she had already been hired to work on Real Genius before Joy of Sex had been released. The script for Real Genius, co-written by Neal Israel and Pat Proft, the writers of Bachelor Party, had been floating around Hollywood for a few years. It would tell the story of a highly intelligent high school kid named Mitch who would be recruited to attend a prestigious CalTech-like college called Pacific Tech, where he would be teamed with another genius, Chris, to build a special laser with their professor, not knowing the laser is to be used as a weapon to take out enemy combatants from a drone-like plane 30,000 feet above the Earth. ABC Motion Pictures, a theatrical subsidy of the American television network geared towards creating movies that could be successful in theatres before playing on television, would acquire the screenplay in the early 1980s, but after the relative failure of a number of their initial projects, including National Lampoon's Class Reunion and Young Doctors in Love, would sell the project off to Columbia Pictures, who would make the film one of the first slate of films to be produced by their sister company Tri-Star Pictures, a joint venture between Columbia, the cable network Home Box Office, and, ironically, the CBS television network, which was also created towards creating movies that could be successful in theatres before playing on television. Tri-Star would assign Brian Grazer, a television producer at Paramount who had segued to movies after meeting with Ron Howard during the actor's last years on Happy Days, producing Howard's 1982 film Night Shift and 1984 film Splash, to develop the film. One of Grazer's first moves would be to hire Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel, writers on Happy Days who helped to create Laverne and Shirley and Joanie Loves Chachi, to rewrite the script to attract a director. Ganz and Mandel had also written Night Shift and rewrote the script for Splash, and Grazer considered them his lucky charm. After trying to convince Ron Howard to board the project instead of Cocoon, Grazer would create a list of up and coming filmmakers he would want to work with. And toward the top of that list was Martha Coolidge. Coolidge would naturally gravitate towards Real Genius, and she would have an advantage that no other filmmaker on Grazer's list would have: her fiancee, Michael Backes, was himself an egghead, a genius in physics and biochemistry who in the years to come would become good friends with the writer and filmmaker Michael Crichton, working as a graphics supervisor on the movie version of Chricton's book Jurassic Park, a co-writer of the screenplay based on Chricton's book Rising Sun, and an associate producer on the movie version of Chricton's book Congo. Once Coolidge was signed on to direct Real Genius in the spring of 1984, she and Backes would work with former SCTV writer and performer PJ Torokvei as they would spend time talking to dozens of science students at CalTech and USC, researching laser technology, and the policies of the CIA. They would shape the project to something closer to what Grazer said he loved most about its possibility, the possibility of genius. "To me,” Grazer would tell an interviewer around the time of the film's release, “a genius is someone who can do something magical, like solve a complex problem in his head while I'm still trying to figure out the question. I don't pretend to understand it, but the results are everywhere around us. We work, travel, amuse ourselves and enhance the quality of life through technology, all of which traces back to what was once an abstract idea in the mind of some genius.” When their revised screenplay got the green light from the studio with an $8m budget, Grazer and Coolidge got to the task of casting the film. While the young genius Mitch was ostensibly the lead character in the film, his roommate Chris would need a star to balance out the relative obscurity of his co-star. A number of young actors in Hollywood would be seen, but their choice would be 25 year old Val Kilmer, whose first movie, Top Secret!, had not yet opened in theatres but had hot buzz going for it as the followup film for the Airplane! writing/directing team of Zucker, Abrahams and Zucker. Fourteen year old Gabe Jarret, whose only previous film work had been in a minor role in the 1981 Tony Danza/Danny DeVito comedy Going Ape!, would land the coveted role of Mitch, while supporting roles would go to Coolidge's former costars Michelle Meyrink, Deborah Foreman and Robert Prescott, as well as William Atherton, who at the time was on movie screens as Walter Peck, the main human antagonist to the Ghostbusters, as Chris and Mitch's duplicitous professor, Jerry Hathaway, and Patti D'Arbanville, who had made a splash on screens in 1981 as Chevy Chase's long-suffering girlfriend in Modern Problems. Shooting would begin on Real Genius in Southern California on November 12th, 1984. Most of the film would be shot on sets built at the Hollywood Center Studios, just a few blocks west of the Paramount Studios lot, while several major set pieces, including the memorable finale involving Professor Hathaway's house, a space laser and 190,000 pounds of popcorn, were shot in the then quiet suburban area of Sand Canyon, a few miles east of Magic Mountain, a popular theme park and filming area about 45mins north of Hollywood Center Studios. Outdoor scenes standing in for the Pacific Tech campus would be filmed at Occidental College in Eagle Rock and Pomona College in Claremont, while some scenes would be filmed at General Atomics outside San Diego, standing in for an Air Force base in the film's climax. Shooting on the film would finish after the first of the year, giving Coolidge and her editor, Richard Chew, about seven months to get the film in shape for a planned August 7th, 1985, release. Going in to the Summer 1985 movie season, Real Genius was positioned to be one of the hit films of the summer. They had a hot up and coming star in Val Kilmer, a hot director in Martha Coolidge, and a fairly solid release date in early August. But then, there ended up being an unusual glut of science fiction and sci-fi comedy movies in the marketplace at the same time. In March, Disney released the dinosaur-themed Baby: Secret of the Lost Legend, which was not a good film and bombed pretty bad. In June, there was the artificial intelligence film D.A.R.Y.L., which was not a good film and bombed pretty bad. In July, there was Back to the Future, which was a very good film and became one of the biggest successes of the year, and there was Explorers, Joe Dante's followup to Gremlins, which featured Ethan Hawke and River Phoenix as teenage boys who build their own spacecraft to explore outer space, and although it was one of the best movies released in the summer of 1985, it too bombed pretty bad. But then, in a seven day period in early August, we had Weird Science, which was not very good and not very successful, Real Genius, and My Science Project, another Disney movie about a glowing orb thing from outer space that causes a lot of problems for a lazy high school student looking for something to use for his science class final, which is one of the worst movies of the year, and bombed worse than any of the other movies mentioned. Weird Science, John Hughes' followup to his surprise hit The Breakfast Club, released only six months earlier, would open on August 1st, and come in fourth place with $4.9m from 1158 theatres. In its second weekend of release, Weird Science would lose 40% of its opening weekend audience, coming in fifth with $2.97m. But that would still be better than Real Genius, which opened on Wednesday, August 5th, which would come in sixth in its opening weekend, with $2.56m from 990 locations. My Science Project, opening on August 7th, could only manage to open in 13th place with $1.5m from 1003 theatres. That would be worse than a reissue of E.T. in its fourth weekend of release. In its second weekend, Real Genius would only drop 14% of its opening weekend audience, coming in with $2.2m from 956 locations, but after a third weekend, losing a third of its screens and 46% of its second week audience, Real Genius would be shuttled off to the dollar houses, where it would spend another seventeen weeks before exiting theatres with only $12.95m worth of tickets sold. However, it is my personal opinion is that the film failed to find an audience because it was perceived as being too smart for a simple audience. Real Genius celebrates intelligence. It doesn't pander to its audience. In many ways, it belittles stupidity, especially Mitch's moronic parents. Revenge is dished out in the most ingenious ways, especially at the end with Professor Hathaway's house, to the point where the science behind how Chris and Mitch did what the did is still actively debated thirty-eight years later. Caltech students served as consultants on the film, and played students in the background, while Dr. Martha Gunderson, a physics professor at USC whose vast knowledge about lasers informed the writers during the development stage, played a math professor on screen. Finally, to help promote the film, Martha Coolidge and producer Brian Grazer held the first-ever online press conference through the CompuServe online service, even though there were less than 125,000 on the entire planet who had CompuServe access in August 1985. Today, the film is rightfully regardless as a classic, but it wouldn't make Val Kilmer a star quite yet. That, of course, would happen in 1986, when he co-starred as Tom Cruise's frenemy in Tony Scott's Top Gun. Gabe Jarret would eventually become Gabriel Jarret, appearing in such movies as Karate Kid 3, Apollo 13 and The American President, and he continues to work in movies and on television to this day. Sadly, the same cannot be said for Michelle Meyrink, who would quit acting three years after making Real Genius, but we'll talk about that on our next episode. And, of course, William Atherton would cement his reputation as the chucklenut Gen Xers love to hate when he played the cocky television reporter Dick Thornburg in the first two Die Hard movies. And with that, we come to the end of this episode. Thank you for joining us. We'll talk again next week, when Episode 111, on Coolidge's 1988 comedy Plain Clothes, is released.

This week, we get to Spend Valentine's Day with These Days are Ours: A Happy Days Podcast, as the three of us take a closer look at the Red-headed stepchild of the Happy Days Franchise and see if it's REALLY as bad as people say it is.

The ninth episode of TG Talk features songwriter, entrepreneur, and SAE alumnus, Jimmy Dunne. Let's get real. What you think post-graduation life will be like may not be a reality. Don't worry; we enlisted Jimmy to tell us the truth about what really happens after graduation. Have you ever scaled a wall to get an interview? We don't recommend it, but Jimmy has. Although considered by many to be a renaissance man, Jimmy is, first and foremost, a musician. He has studio albums and successful covers recorded by big names such as Whitney Houston, Janet Jackson, and Kenny Rogers. Jimmy's songs have been recorded on 28 million records, in addition to scores, songs, and themes featured in over 1500 television episodes and dozens of films. Additionally, he is the Founder and CEO of Inspire. Inspire assists colleges and universities in composing and recording official university music and incorporating music into its overall culture. Jimmy also has experience as a television writer and producer, working on hit shows such as Happy Days and Joanie Loves Chachi. Foundation CEO Steve Mitchell interviewed Jimmy about his extraordinary career and how he got his start. Jimmy gets real about what you need to do to succeed after college. While we don't recommend using your musical talents to get out of paying the bill at a restaurant or scaling the fences at Paramount Pictures to get a job, we do think that Jimmy has a ton of great advice for undergraduates and young alumni who are starting in their careers.

Kari connects Franke to his mom as they talk about writing the hit "Hungry Eyes" for "Dirty Dancing," which he also wrote "(I've Had) The Time of My Life," garnering an Academy Award. She also connects Pamela to her mom, as they talk about how one song created a spin-off from "Happy Days," and caused 17-year olds to get married in "Joanie Loves Chachi." They also talk about "One World," the song they wrote for "Earth, Wind and Fire" in 1989, which was recently re-recorded by stars like Patti LaBelle, Christine Ebersole and Tico Torres, as Kari notes hearing it underscored the importance of the environment. They also discuss feeling a soul connection with a person, how adoptive parents are often the true soul connection, while sometimes family members who share the same DNA don't feel that soul connection, past lives and knowing when you're on the life path you're meant to be on, what they do when they feel blue to pick themselves up and whether they hear random original tunes in their heads as songwriters.

Joanie Loves Chachi WAS a show. You’ve probably heard of it, but never actually seen it! It was the Happy Days spin-off that spun out. The series mixes traditional sitcom elements with musical performances, as Joanie Cunningham and Chachi Arcola try to make it as rock and/or roll musicians in Chicago in the early 60s—and we see if they can carry the tune.

(12-26-2019) - Actor and car guy Scott Baio (Happy Days, Charles in Charge) join Randy and "Hot Rod" Bob Beck at the "Hollywood Show" near LAX to talk about how he grew up a big fan of big bodied Caddys and Lincolns, how he had a rough experience with a 65 Corvette, the one car he owned for a summer, what car is number one on his "I have to have that someday" list and how much does he think the "Bullitt" Mustang will go for when it is auctioned in January on his favorite car show.

AYYY! It’s time for the bestest, most special-est, most important-est guest we’ve ever had! Okay, Taylor is writing this, and she’s a little biased, but you’ve gotta admit that her mom is one of the coolest moms this side of Lorelai Gilmore, right? Taylor’s cool mom comes on the podcast to school her clueless Millennial nerd daughter about another classic TV sitcom with a very catchy theme song. Her mom shares her Tuesday night TV lineup, the nostalgia for the ‘50s in the ‘70s, and how much of the Happy Days Television Universe she watched, including Blansky’s Beauties, Joanie Loves Chachi, Laverne and Shirley, Mork and Mindy, and Out of the Blue. So don’t be a nerd—be cool and listen in and try to keep up with the gajillions of catchphrases that make up Happy Days jargon! And don’t forget to tune into our next episode with Kyla’s mom about anotherclassic TV show with a catchy theme—TBD on whether these four pull off an epic mother/daughter weekend getaway!

Hey Everyone! I'm back from a brief hiatus due to my mom's personal illness and other family matters, but I'm officially back. The podcast is back, and it is up and running. More ideas are on the way. So much has happened within the last couple of weeks, including Trump's State of the Union speech, and so on. Anyway, here are the topics. 1. The Official Nunes Memos Is Out. A classified memo authored by Congressman Devin Nunes, a Republican, was authorizedd for release and the rest is history. It alleges that the Department of Justice and the FBI engaged in abuse of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act by acting on questionable actions against Trump adviser Carter Page during the early phases of the government's investigation into claims that Trump was elected to the White House by Vladmir Putin and his Russian stooges. Did they do this? Are they responsible for this? It's hard to tell, but it's very possible. However, the release of the memo has been opposed by the leftist media and the Democrats, which are actions that are not all that surprising. Should we be shocked? No, no, no!!! 2. Family Sues Starbucks. A family is suing Starbucks for spiking a beverage that the parents' two-year daughter drank because it purportedly contains a barista's blood. Really? Seriously? Are these people fucking retarded? Do we really need a frivolous suit on our hands? Why would Starbucks enable a barista to put blood in a kids' coffee drink? Grow the fuck up, people! I mean really! 3. Trump's State of the Union Speech. Trump gives his first official State of the Union speech after a year of launching his presidency. He talks about everything from immigration to his claim that wages are rising thanks to his "great" tax cuts to the repeal of ObamaCare. While his speech does contain some good things, it's mostly a bag of statist goodies that he wants to hand over to the American citizens. Yawn! And yet he doesn't talk about freedom! And he doesn't even talk about eliminating our foreign policy of interventionism. *Snore* 4. Actor Scott Baio Accused of Molesting Charles in Charge Co-star Nicole Eggert. Actor Scott Baio, known for his roles as Chachi in Happy Days and Joanie Loves Chachi and Charles in Charles in Charge, is accused to have molested Nicole Eggert when she was an underage minor....like 17 years old. Baio addresses the accusation, claiming that she's lying her ass off because, according to him, she was pushing 19 in 1990 when the show ended. Now another co-star is making a similar accusation. Jesus Fucking Christ! And Eggert is taking her claims to the police! Does she know that the statutes of limitations have expired? *Sighs* and 5. The Libertarian Party rejects Ron Paul and Judge Napolitano. The Libertarian Party thumbs its nose at Ron Paul and Judge Andrew Napolitano despite its own Mises Caucus is trying to bring them to this year's Libertarian National Convention. Jesus. Christ. Man. That's all, my friends I will comment on the podcast. Enjoy the show! I know you will!
RETRO SHOCK: "Seriously ... not the Jake Gyllenhaal movie." (1983) No graphic image struck more graphic fear into Tim's childhood than the atomic stalk of a mushroom cloud.

Actress Erin Moran of "Happy Days" and "Joanie Loves Chachi" fame arrived recently in the Next World. She didn't have longbto wait before she was offered a great gig. What will Erin be doing soon? We'll tell you. There's trouble on the set of the upcoming "Forbidden Planet" musical starring Leslie Nielsen and Anne Francis. One of the co-stars is acting unprofessionally. You'll be shocked when you hear who it is. Big things are happening in Mediopolis, the town formerly known as Trump City. Visitors to the town will be greeted by non-humans. Wait til you hear what Steve Jobs and Walt Disney have planned for tourists. We now know some of the other comedians who will be joining Don Rickles on a comedy tour of the Afterlife. Also, one big name turned down an invite to join the tour. You'll be surprised when you hear who said "no thanks."
It is hard to believe that Joanie had so many “unhappy days” after Joanie Loves Chachi. Does the crises at United Airlines make you want to get on an overbooked flight?

Scott Baio knows a thing or two about longevity in Hollywood, and you will too after hearing his stories about playing Chachi on "Happy Days" & "Joanie Loves Chachi," Charles on "Charles In Charge," and Bob Loblaw on "Arrested Development." He's also talking "Zapped," "Battle of The Network Stars," Howard Cosell, hockey, Willie Ames, and reality television.
Because every "Happy Days" needs a "Joanie Loves Chachi," Babaloo finally makes good on his threat of creating his own podcast - and you get the first taste of it here on PiMC!
