Episode 418: 9 to 5 (1980)

9 to 5 (1980)Watch the trailer!

We must say goodbye to two more amazinga actors who have passed away recently. Our first film pays tribute to Dabney Coleman, who left us on May 16th, 2024. Under the steady hand of director Colin Higgins, 1980's "9 to 5" created a character that Coleman would play again and again in his career, which spanned over 175 projects! Newly-divorced Judy Bernly (Jane Fonda) comes to work at Consolidated Companies, Inc., where she meets boss Franklin Hart Jr. (Coleman) and his unnoticed and unappreciated right-hand, Violet Newstead (Lily Tomlin). Right away, Hart displays a caustic and chauvenistic attitude that Violet clearly knows too well and Judy is shocked by. Violet also points out Mr. Hart's personal secretary Doralee Rhodes (Dolly Parton) and insinuates that she and Hart are having an affair. Eventually, this rumor comes to light and there's a showdown in Hart's office which results in the three becoming fast friends. They all have one thing in common: They hate their boss! They each have fantasies about doing him in, but when one of their fantasies comes a little too close to happening, the ladies must keep Hart out of the office and incommunicado until they can prove his fraud and money laundering. What happens next is both a comedic farce and a statement on workplace inequality that had stood the test of time! Also starring Sterling Hayden, Elizabeth Wilson, Henry Jones, and Marian Mercer!

Episode 417: Beverly Hills Cop (1984)

Beverly HIlls Cop (1984)Watch the trailer!

The second film in our pairing of police comedies, also from 1984, is an example of just how well law enforcement, action, and comedy can be combined! Directed by Martin Brest, "Beverly Hills Cop" follows the story of Axel Foley (Eddie Murphy), a young and newly-minted Detroit Police detective, who is out to make a name for himself, regulations be damned! After an unapproved sting operation goes sideways, and after he gets reamed out by his supervisor, Inspector Todd (Gilbert R. Hill), he finds an old friend at his apartment. Mikey Tandino (James Russo) and Axel used to break a few laws together back in the day, but Mikey is now back in town with a stack of stolen German bearer bonds. Unfortunately, the people he stole them from come calling, knock Axel out, and kill Mikey. This leads Foley to take some vacation days and head out to Beverly Hills, California, where Mikey was working. There he reconnects with an old friend, Jenny Summers (Lisa Eilbacher) and make a new one in her employee Serge (Bronson Pinchot). Jenny tells Axel that Mikey was working for her boss, Victor Maitland (Steven Berkoff). When Axel goes to visit Victor, he ends up being thrown out of his office (literally, through a window), and is summarily arrested by officers from the Beverly Hills police department. When he's brought in, he meets Detective Seargent Taggart (John Ashton) and his partner Detective Billy Rosewood (Judge Reinhold), and their boss Lt. Bogomil (Ronny Cox). With those connections made, the scene is set for Foley, Taggard, and Rosewood to ultimately combine forces and bring Mikey's murderer to justice! Also starring Jonathan Banks, Stephen Elliott, and Paul Reiser). Plus, the trio announce which recently-deceased actor spurred them to put together another "In Memorium" pairing for the next two episodes!

Episode 416: Police Academy (1984)

Police Academy (1984)Watch the trailer!

This pairing celebrates the tradition of combining law enforcement, action, and comedy with two films, both from 1984! First up, director Hugh Wilson shows us one possible result of relaxing admissions in law enforcement! In "Police Academy," we meet Carey Mahoney (Steve Guttenberg), a constant recipient of law enforcement being given a choice: Jail or joining the police academy, but with one condition: He can't quit. He can, of course, be thrown out, which sets the stage for a screwball comedy that began a long-running franchise! Upon arriving at the academy, Mahoney first makes the acquaintance of cadet Karen Thompson (Kim Cattrall). While pretending to be one of the instructors, Mahoney also meets Lt. Harris (G. W. Bailey), who takes an instant dislike to Mahoney's recklessness. He is assigned to room with Eugene Tackleberry (David Graf), a gung-ho weapons enthusiast. He is also reunited with Larvell Jones (Michael Winslow) who he met when he was last arrested. With fellow cadets Moses Hightower (Bubba Smith), Leslie Barbara (Donovan Scott), George Martin (Andrew Rubin), Doug Fackler (Bruce Mahier), Laverne Hooks (Marion Ramsey), and Harris' assistant instructor Sgt. Debbie Callahan (Leslie Easterbrook), he tries to keep out of Lt. Harris' way. Unfortunately Harris has recruited two cadets, Chad Copeland (Scott Thomson) and Kyle Blankes (Brant von Hoffman), to spy on their fellow cadets. But ultimately, inspide of the inept leadership of Commandant Eric Lassard (George Gaynes), the cadets not only come together, but represent themselves well after being thrown into a truly harrowing situation! Also starring Ted Ross, Georgina Spelvin, and Doug Lennox!
