STRIPES - The Retroist Podcast

[The Professor]

 

 

One of our favorite podcasts has a new episode online! This week's episode is about Stripes, the 1981 comedy film starring Bill Murray, Harold Ramis, and John Candy as military misfits. The Retroist is a fantastic podcast, and it's long-been a personal favorite among the Mods here at the site for many years. I hope you'll find the time this weekend to maybe put on a great game, tune in and listen to this great podcast. Maybe it'll become a weekend routine!

Here's what The Retroist had to say about the episode:

 

 

Retroist Podcast – Episode 187 – Stripes

 

On this episode I talk all about the eighties comedy classic, “Stripes”. I start off explaining why I would watch movies dozens of times when I was younger and why it might still be important to do so. Then I get into the film. I talk about the stars of the film, the plot, the production, deleted scenes and much more. It might not seem like it, but I am very aware that I do not have the ability to pronounce Harold Ramis’ name correctly. This is not the first time I have recorded this episode and no matter how much prep or notes I hang up around the microphone I just always say Rymus. So my heartfelt apologies to all of you with ears. I promise I will try to do better during the “Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone” podcast.

It's really sad to hear how some of the great entertainers of our time are leaving us way too soon.  Easily one of my favorite movies.  "That's a fact jack!"
