Note sull'episodio
Rodney Dangerfield goes back to college, hires Kurt Vonnegut for his homework, and somehow beats Top Gun at the box office. In this week’s episode, we dive into Back to School (1986) — the VHS comedy classic with the legendary Triple Lindy, Robert Downey Jr. in gremlin mode, Pauly from Rocky, Terry Farrell (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine), and Billy Zabka being the ultimate 80s villain.
We break down how this Rodney Dangerfield comedy made $90 million, became a Comedy Central staple in the 90s, and why it’s still a cult favorite today. Plus: listener emails, fake IMDb reviews, and a debate about Harrison Ford’s place on the Mount Rushmore of action movies.
Hit play, subscribe, and get ready for a full dose of “No Respect!” nostalgia.
