Each week, Dana and Tom will review a classic movie, and grade it out based on a six-part rubric scale to determine what the greatest movie of all-time is.

<p>Dana and Tom with returning guest, Joe Boukhari (Instagram - <a href="https://www.instagram.com/gettoitwhenigettoit/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><u>I'll Get to It When I Get to It</u></a>; Letterboxd Film Commentator - <a href="https://letterboxd.com/bagodonuts/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><u>@bagodonuts</u></a>) revisit Caddyshack (1980): written and directed by Harold Ramis with Douglas Kenney and Brian Doyle Murray, music by Johnny Mandel, cinematography by Stevan Larner, starring Chevy Chase, Ted Knight, Rodney Dangerfield, and Bill Murray.</p><p><strong>Plot Summary:</strong> Bushwood Country Club: an opulent haven for the wealthy, where life revolves around pristine greens, exclusivity, and egos so inflated they could double as golf carts. But underneath the facade of luxury lies a clash of worlds—working-class caddies and eccentric groundskeepers versus snobby elites—and it’s about to get hilariously out of control.</p><p>Danny Noonan (Michael O'Keefe), a young caddy striving to secure his future, finds himself entangled in the club's tangled hierarchy, navigating manipulative judges, raucous millionaires, and life lessons from Ty Webb (Chevy Chase), a laid-back golfer with pearls of wisdom that sound like they came from a Zen koan written by Groucho Marx. Meanwhile, Carl Spackler (Bill Murray), the quirky groundskeeper, engages in an escalating war with a gopher so cunning it could win a philosophy debate.</p><p>Add in Al Czervik (Rodney Dangerfield), whose outlandish behavior becomes a catalyst for chaos, and Bushwood transforms into the backdrop for a wild satire of class division, absurd ambition, and the universal search for meaning—through golf, naturally. The result? A comedy that skewers pretense and celebrates the unpredictability of life, all while leaving the audience wondering how a gopher became the most unstoppable force in the universe.</p><p><strong>Chapters:</strong></p><p>00:00 Introduction and Welcome Back, Joe Boukhari</p><p>02:42 Cast and Background for Caddyshack</p><p>06:19 Relationship(s) with Caddyshack</p><p>09:12 What is Caddyshack About?</p><p>13:54 Status of Comedy in Film</p><p>24:48 Plot Summary for Caddyshack</p><p>26:36 Did You Know?</p><p>28:29 First Break</p><p>29:26 What's Up with Joe Boukhari?</p><p>32:02 The Stanley Rubric - Legacy</p><p>45:03 The Stanley Rubric - Impact/Significance</p><p>50:33 The Stanley Rubric - Novelty</p><p>57:52 Second Break</p><p>58:33 The Stanley Rubric - Classicness</p><p>01:04:54 The Stanley Rubric - Rewatchability</p><p>01:09:27 The Stanley Rubric - Audience Score and Final Total</p><p>01:11:28 Remaining Questions for Caddyshack</p><p>01:14:44 Thank You to Joe Boukhari and Remaining Thoughts</p><p>01:18:17 Credits</p><p><strong>Guest:</strong></p><p><strong>Joe Boukhari</strong></p><ul><li>Instagram - <a href="https://www.instagram.com/gettoitwhenigettoit/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><u>I'll Get to It When I Get to It</u></a></li><li>Letterboxd Film Commentator - <a href="https://letterboxd.com/bagodonuts/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><u>@bagodonuts</u></a></li></ul><br/><p>You can also find this episode in full video on YouTube.</p><p>You can now follow us on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/gmoatpodcast/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a>, <a href="https://x.com/gmoatpodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Twitter</a>, <a href="https://youtube.com/@gmoatpodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">YouTube</a>, or <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@gmoatpodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">TikTok</a> (@gmoatpodcast).</p><p>For more on the original episode, go to: <a href="https://www.ronnyduncanstudios.com/post/caddyshack-1980" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.ronnyduncanstudios.com/post/caddyshack-1980</a></p><p>For more on the episode, go to: <a...

<p>Dana and Tom with 5x Club Member, Shane Rogers (Comedian and Host of <a href="https://midnightbonus.weebly.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><u>Midnight Facts for Insomniacs</u></a>) discuss the sci-fi thriller, Ex Machina (2015): written and directed by Alex Garland, cinematography by Rob Hardy, music by Geoff Barrow and Ben Salisbury, starring Domhnall Gleeson, Oscar Isaac, and Alicia Vikander.</p><p><strong>Plot Summary: </strong>Ex Machina is a cerebral sci-fi thriller written and directed by Alex Garland.
