Episode 10: Caddyshack: July 25, 1980 (Special Guest – Peter Berkrot)

This week, the boys travel back to July 25, 1980, and revisit what might very well be the most quotable comedy of all time: CADDYSHACK! Join Jason, Fred, and Dan as they take a deep dive into the lore of Bushwood and chat about the making of the film with Angie D'Annunzio himself, Peter Berkrot!Rarely have three grown men been this excited to talk about anything! From Dan’s love of Ted Knight’s deadpan delivery to Jason’s love of Bill Murray’s Cinderella story and Fred’s love of Cindy Morgan’s (Edited For Television), this episode has it all (if by “all” you mean anecdotes, memories, critiques and defenses of a movie that decided it needed to add an animatronic rodent to the proceedings during post-production because the film was missing a throughline)!Find out how Special Guest Peter Berkrot got cast in the film, how he responded when Bill Murray came at him with a scythe on his first day of work, what an insecure Rodney Dangerfield shared with him and his young co-stars, how he felt during the film’s NYC premiere, and which of the four comedy stars at the heart of the movie actually knew their lines (two hints: Ted and Knight).It’s easy to grin when your ship comes in, but if you’re looking to make $14 the hard way, you may just get nothing and like it. In any event, be the ball, learn to think like a gopher, and you’ll find that you’re a tremendous slouch, so… you got that going for you… which is nice… on a Very Special TENTH Episode of OPENING WEEKEND!!!
