KnockBack, Episode 40: Caddyshack
Added 2018-11-15 17:00:04 +0000 UTCThere are a lot of classic sports films, from the somber and serious to the wacky and insane. Caddyshack squarely falls in the latter camp. Released in 1980, Caddyshack tells the story of a midwestern American country club via the antics of its most colorful patrons and employees. With an all-star cast including Rodney Dangerfield, Bill Murray, Chevy Chase, and Ted Knight, and with Harold Ramis helming the film as both writer and director, Caddyshack's cult status isn't happenstance. It's the result of a brilliant mixture of talent, talent that rewrote, reworked, and improvised through much of production in order to take advantage of their greatest comedic assets. So join us as we show love and appreciation for one of film's great comedies. And put on some weight, will ya?

2018-11-23 21:15:30 +0000 UTCI'm watching easy money on Amazon Prime now because of this episode, though it has no nostalgic value to me like back to school.

2018-11-21 21:07:29 +0000 UTCSports/comedy movies are the greatest. BASEketball is another good sports comedy.

2018-11-20 02:11:31 +0000 UTCColin, I can’t believe you aren’t familiar with the origins of Rickrolling. It started in 2007 when Rockstar had a countdown timer on their site leading to the reveal trailer for Grand Theft Auto IV. The site crashed due to heavy traffic and someone claimed to have a mirror for the trailer online but just linked to the Rick Astley video.

2018-11-19 20:20:04 +0000 UTCI used to work at the golf channel and one of the break rooms is themed to caddyshack. I haven’t yet seen the film (I know) but this episode still had a ton of interesting things, especially about the comedians and I really enjoyed.

2018-11-19 17:30:21 +0000 UTCThey really don't, sadly. Probably one of the reasons why I just don't watch that many movies anymore.

2018-11-17 19:48:49 +0000 UTCGreat podcast. Love Caddyshack. One of my favourite comedies is Planes, Trains and Automobiles John Candy, Steve Martin, Kevin Bacon Directed/written and produced by John Hughes... Man, they don't make movies like this or Caddyshack anymore.

2018-11-16 20:31:59 +0000 UTCFun fact: I live in Chevy Chase. Great episode guys, would love to see one done in similar fashion for Zucker/Abrahams/Proft (The Naked Gun, Airplane!, Hot Shots!, etc.) and/or Leslie Nielsen.
