Podcasts about walley world

We are going back to good ole 1978 to check out, for the first time strangely enough. The Hanna Barbera made for NBC TV film, Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Park on a Vintage Cinema Review show. I'm joined with my good pal, Buddy Corley as we sit outside in the mountains on a nice warm summer day to discuss this epic film. Something that we have talked about doing for a good long while and a movie we both had yet to actually see, even though we are huge Kiss fans for many years. Fun times were had in a classic watch, then review old school podcast. Seeing the nostalgic look of the Six Flags Magic Mountain Theme Park. Which has always been a big deal for us in California and I believe with many other states. That was the whole cross country journey location for Walley World in National Lampoon's Vacation. Here you get an awesome old school 70s Kiss concert in the park. Interesting song choices, hilarious dialogue, and a much different main villain than expected from the title. It's not a great movie by any means, but it is still fun, goofy, and something of rock and roll history to be experienced for sure. I feel that Kiss and Scooby Doo Animated Movie that came out a few years back was a retake of attempting this flick once more. So, come on by and join us on another adventure of OMO Podcast.

"National Lampoon's Vacation," released in 1983, is a classic American road comedy film that has stood the test of time. Directed by Harold Ramis and written by John Hughes, based on his own short story, the film presents a hilariously exaggerated portrayal of a family road trip that turns into a series of misadventures. It stars Chevy Chase as Clark Griswold, a well-intentioned but bumbling father who is determined to take his family on a cross-country trip to the fictional amusement park, Walley World.The premise of the movie is simple yet effective. Clark Griswold, eager to spend quality time with his wife Ellen (played by Beverly D'Angelo) and their two children, Rusty and Audrey, plans a meticulously detailed road trip. From the onset, it's clear that his idealistic visions are doomed to clash with reality. This setup is a fertile ground for comedy, and the film delivers it in spades.Chevy Chase's portrayal of Clark is a standout. He brings a unique blend of optimism and naivety to the character, making him both endearing and frustrating. His performance captures the essence of a father trying too hard to create the perfect vacation experience for his family, only to see his efforts comically thwarted at every turn. The dynamic within the Griswold family is one of the film's strengths. Beverly D'Angelo delivers a solid performance as Ellen, providing a voice of reason amidst the chaos. The children, played by Anthony Michael Hall and Dana Barron, contribute to the film's humour with their teenage angst and sibling bickering.One of the movie's most memorable aspects is its episodic structure, which sees the family encountering various obstacles and quirky characters along their journey. This structure keeps the narrative fresh and unpredictable. Each segment of their trip introduces new comedic scenarios, from the iconic scene with the deceased Aunt Edna on the roof of the car to the hilarious encounters with Cousin Eddie, played brilliantly by Randy Quaid.The humour in "National Lampoon's Vacation" ranges from slapstick to subtle satirical jabs at American culture. The film satirizes the quintessential American road trip, highlighting how the pursuit of a perfect family vacation can devolve into a disastrous and absurd ordeal. The comedic timing is impeccable, with each gag and joke landing effectively without feeling forced.However, what truly sets this film apart is its underlying heart. Amidst all the chaos and comedy, it's a film about family bonding and the lengths to which a parent will go to provide happiness for their family. This emotional core is what resonates with audiences and has helped the film maintain its appeal over the years.Visually, the film is a product of its time, with a distinct early 80s aesthetic. The cinematography is straightforward, focusing more on the characters and their interactions than on visual flair. The soundtrack, featuring the catchy theme song "Holiday Road" by Lindsey Buckingham, complements the film's upbeat and adventurous tone.From a critical standpoint, "National Lampoon's Vacation" might not be a cinematic masterpiece in the traditional sense. Its humour can be seen as dated or over-the-top by contemporary standards. However, its cultural impact and status as a comedy classic are undeniable. The film spawned several sequels, though none quite captured the magic of the original.In conclusion, "National Lampoon's Vacation" is a quintessential comedy film that has left an indelible mark on American pop culture. Its blend of humour, heart, and a touch of absurdity makes it a delightful watch even decades after its release. Chevy Chase's performance as Clark Griswold remains one of his most iconic roles, cementing the film's place in the pantheon of classic American comedies. While it may not cater to all tastes, its status as a beloved family road trip comedy is well-deserved, making it a must-watch for fans of the genre.Please follow the Podcast and join our community at https://linktr.ee/borntowatchpodcast If you are looking to start a podcast and want a host or get guests to pipe in remotely, look no further than Riverside.fmClick the link below https://riverside.fm/?utm_campaign=campaign_1&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=rewardful&via=matthew

Lazlo had the perfect family vacation planned for next week and the kids were excited about seeing Walley World but plans change. What would be a good impromptu spot to take the family for a few days? Twin Cities it is! *People are really worked up about this Jason Aldean song. I guess he doesn't want us visiting any small towns. I'm good with that. *Charles Barkley is a national treasure. Don't forget to buycott some Bud Light on your way home. *Doomscrolling! Are the cops about to solve Tupac's murder? We have to talk about this Carlee Russell story. She's the Alabama woman who disappeared after she said she saw a toddler walking alongside the interstate and pulled over to check on the kid. Trump may be facing more federal charges. Illinois becomes the first state to eliminate cash bail. *Several former Northwestern football players have accused the school of being complicit about extreme hazing. Is hazing ever okay?

“Everybody in the car. Boat leaves in two minutes, or perhaps you don't want to see the second largest ball of twine on the face of the Earth, which is only four short hours away!” Harold Ramis' second foray into feature film directing introduced the world to the Griswolds – Clark, Ellen, Rusty and Audrey – as they drive from Chicago to LA on a 2-week vacation with the aim of visiting an obvious Disneyland replacement for legal reasons, Walley World. It's a wonderful film and proved to be another box office success for Ramis, who wouldn't direct another hit like this for 10 years with ‘Groundhog Day.' Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we wrap up our very short Harold Ramis series with the classic 1983 road trip comedy “National Lampoon's Vacation.” We talk about the original John Hughes story on which this is based and look at the darker tones in that story, comparing it with how it was reshaped in this film. We discuss the cast, notably Chevy Chase, Beverly D'Angelo, Anthony Michael Hall, Dana Barron, Imogene Coca (and her dog), Randy Quaid, Christie Brinkley and Eddie Bracken. We chat about the ending of the short story, the original ending and the rewritten ending and debate what works best (and what problems this one may have because of the final ending). And we, of course, talk about the franchise, comparing this with what we view as the only other good one in the bunch, 1989's ‘National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.' It's a comedy classic and a great way to finish our Ramis series, so check it out then tune in!

In 1983, writer John Hughes was just getting his start becoming the "Shakespeare of the 80s". That year, along with director Harold Ramis and superstar Chevy Chase, he created a wacky road trip movie that people around the world fell in love with. Later in 1988, he created a similar movie with his go-to MVP actor John Candy. In this episode we discuss the origins of both movies, the star studded casts and the secrets behind each. We hope that you will join us this week on a quest. A quest for fun, if you will.
