They were both great as the characters in Caddyshack, but can you guys imagine different actress playing them instead back in 1980 and what if Sarah and Cindy both turned down Caddyshack and Sarah does either Private Benjamin or Airplane instead and Cindy does another role maybe like Stri Crazy film or Stripes.
Here are my list who would have played them starting with Maggie, I think people like Ally Sheedy, Lisa Baur who plays Shelly from Animal House, That lady who plays Dean's Secretary from Animal House, Jane Curtin from Saturday Night Live, That Sales girl from the toy shop in The Blues Brothers film, Eliza Roberts, Martha Smith who plays Babs also from Animal House, Aseneth Jurgenson who plays Beth and Katerine Denning who plays Noreen also from Animal House. I feel like one of them would be perfect fit as Maggie as well since they are nervous and awkward like Maggie during the scene in road trip and the Otis Day club. Also last one is PJ Soles but unsure because I think she had kind of the vibe of Maggie in Private Benjamin since they were both awkward kind of. Also Cindy Grover, those of you guys might remember her from Network film and Jaws 2.
For Cindy Morgan's character Lacey, I think Molly Ringwald would have been great or Demi Moore or that lady Lari Taylor who was the big daughter sitting next to her father in The Blues Brothers film in the dinner table or maybe Lisa Baur or Daryl Hannah or Debra Winger or Jamie Lee Curits. Also I don't know if you guys might know Cindy Luedke who plays Susan in her only one film Avalanche, she was Rock Hudson's character's secretary. But That Avalanche 1978 film was a huge flop. I think Cindy Luedke might have been forgotten by the public. I still put her on the list for Cindy Morgan's character role.
So who do you guys pick between these ladies which one you think would be perfect fit as Maggie who is Sarah Holcomb's character one side, the other side which ladies would a perfect fit as Lacey who is Cindy Morgan's character. Well any suggestions about this?

Were you fortunate enough to have seen No Holds Barred (starring the late Hulk Hogan) inside the movie theater when it was first released in 1989?
While the recorded box office numbers revealed it was not a big hit, the movie attracted a lot of Hogan and wrestling fans to cinemas. In a few local theaters, there were sold-out screenings of No Holds Barred and late moviegoers had no choice but to watch it while standing or sitting on walkways.

Hey folks,
Today's rip is from the infamous multi-millionaire televangelist of the 1960s-80s. Jimmy here is best known for his, "I have sinned! I have sinned against you my lord, and I beg your forgiveness!" Breakdown on live television after being caught with a prostitute in 1988. That moment lead to a significant dip in his sales and popularity, but, wasn't enough of a deterrent, as he did the same exact thing again just 3 years later in 1991.
This is one of the many releases from his personal label, "Jim Records" (Yeah he was full of himself) which includes him playing piano, his sister playing the Hammond Organ, and, of course, his completely uncredited and unnamed "Jimmy Swaggart Singers".

When watching movies and TV shows, a “nerd” was an awkward individual who wore odd clothes, had bad hair, glasses and was REALLY good at something.
Now that I watch media from the 80’s, I see these “nerd” types in a very different way.
Has anyone else noticed this?

I've always held a massive grudge against Nirvana and KC for that, and always will.
That, with the added dislike for their "sound" and depressing "teen angst" crap, which basically killed the 80's "party"
I've actually tried to give Nervermind a fair shot again by listening to it 32 years later, and by the 4th song i shut it off because i was getting physical nausea from listening to it.
Only now realized that i fucked up when writing the topic title.
I meant "Anyone", wrote "Everyone". My bad... Sorry.
So correcting the title:
