This week, we’re diving into the hilarious and heartwarming world of the 1986 comedy classic "Back to School." Directed by Alan Metter, this film stars the legendary Rodney Dangerfield as Thornton Melon, a larger-than-life businessman who decides to enroll in college to support his struggling son—and in true Dangerfield fashion, chaos and comedy ensue.
Join us as we explore the film’s unforgettable blend of slapstick humor and sharp wit, driven by Dangerfield’s iconic performance. We’ll discuss the dynamic supporting cast, including Sally Kellerman, Robert Downey Jr., and William Zabka, and how their characters contribute to the film’s enduring charm.
We'll also delve into the film's cultural significance in the 1980s, its themes of education, self-discovery, and the generational clash, and how it became one of the highest-grossing comedies of its time, raking in over $91 million worldwide on an $11 million budget.
Whether you’re a fan of ‘80s comedies or just discovering "Back to School," this episode is packed with insights, laughs, and a deep appreciation for a film that continues to get “no respect” in all the best ways. So, grab your textbooks and get ready to go "Back to School" with us!
