<p>In 1978, after Harold Ramis wrapped "Animal House", the director teamed up with pals Brian Doyle-Murray and Douglas Kenney, along with Chevy Chase, Bill Murray, Ted Knight, and the one and only, Rodney Dangerfield, to bring similar frathouse shenanigans to the clubhouse. Featuring legendary performances (many of which were completely improvised) plus an equally memorable soundtrack, this 80s flick came barreling into theaters the summer of 1980, and went on to become one of the most cherished comedies of all time. </p><p>Widely considered to be one of the all-time funniest comedies ever assembled, the film about a young golf caddy (Michael O'Keefe) desperate to win a scholarship and turn his life around has been listed #71 on AFI's 100 Years...100 Laughs and #7 on AFI's Top 10 Sports Films. So grab your golf clubs, watch out for gopher holes, and remember to be the ball as Tim Williams and guest co-hosts, Nicolas Pepin and Chris McMichen discuss “Caddyshack” from 1980 on this episode of the 80s Flick Flashback Podcast.</p><p><br /></p><p><strong>Here are some additional behind-the-scenes trivia we were unable to cover in this episode:</strong></p><ul><li>Cindy Morgan revealed that the oil massage scene with Chevy Chase was entirely improvised. When Lacy exclaims, "You're crazy!" that was Morgan's authentic reaction to Chase dousing her with oil, which was also the case with Chase's reply, "That's what they said about the Son Of Sam.”</li><li>Writer and producer Douglas Kenney died after the film was released. He fell off a cliff while vacationing in Hawaii. Kenney had experienced deep depression after the film's post-production, as much of the original story had been significantly altered in the editing room, and he was strongly opposed to the final addition of the gopher to the film.</li></ul><p><br /></p><p><strong>Sources:</strong></p><p>Wikipedia, IMDB, Box Office Mojo</p><p><a href="https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/56693/15-things-you-might-not-know-about-caddyshack" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/56693/15-things-you-might-not-know-about-caddyshack</a></p><p>https://screenrant.com/caddyshack-movie-behind-scenes-making-of-trivia/</p><p>Some sections were composed or edited by ChatGPT</p><p> </p><p>We'd love to hear your thoughts on our podcast!
