the jerk

We were 4 years old in 1980, so when we started this show we figured that would be as far back as we'd go. But now that we're actually focusing on the year 1980, we are making an exception. And you can ALWAYS make an exception for Steve Martin. The Jerk was released in December of 1979. But it was such a great and important movie (especially for Brad) that we're including it now. It'd a great way to kickoff the new month!

We'll share our memories and break the movie down for you in all its glory. And since this is one of the most quotable movies of all-time, we finish it off by drafting our favorite quotes from the movie. It's a fun draft and a good way to keep us on track! So pop open your thermos and enjoy!

This week Ryan, Dixon, and John are talking about Steve Martin's 1979 breakout hit The Jerk. Join them for their afterthoughts on how the film holds up today both comedically and culturally, as well as its influence on the comedy genre over the past four decades.

We're checking off a BIG ONE this week -- Steve's Martin's cinematic debut THE JERK manages to be absent of cynicism, while biting in it's commentary about wealth. Satirical and charming, and stacked with comedic talents like Bernadette Peters, Jackie Mason, M. Emmet Walsh under the direction of Carl Reiner.

Jeffrey Chuck Norris and Robert Ruff are heading back in the 1970’s to discuss Steve Martin’s first cinematic starring role: The Jerk! We also spend a little time talking about upcoming films, and the Obi Wan show on Disney+. Chuck also goes on a tangent regarding Back to the Future 2. Ruff really loves this movie, and has a job to do to convince me why it is worth any rewatches.

Has Reginald VelJohnson ever used a computer? Which came first: this episode or Dune? And is there a clown credential program? We squeeze into a Volkswagen Beetle to find out the answers to these questions and more as we watch Season 8, Episode 23 of Family Matters.

Alex Diamond, David Kenny, and John McDaniel heard that the long-running network sitcom Family Matters ends with side character Steve Urkel going to space. And the best way to figure out how that happened - obviously - is to watch the last episode first and make our way backwards through nearly ten years of television.

He went on to write many episodes of The Smothers Brothers Show, and also wrote for Flip Wilson, The Bob Newhart Show, SNL, and a series of comedy specials featuring George Burns.
As an actor, he played "Iron Balls McGinty" in The Jerk, and also appeared in MASH (the movie) Clueless, and in Jaws as "Meadows" the reporter.
As a director, he directed several segments of Amazon Women on the Moon; "Son of the Invisible Man" with Ed Begley, Jr. and "Pethouse Pet", and the movie Caveman, with Ringo Starr, Barbara Bach, John Matuzak, Dennis Quaid, and Avery Schreiber.
