Shalon joins the EDT family to help Phil and Jake rank the 1980s comedy classic Caddyshack and the concept of families on the List of Every Damn Thing.

If you have something to add to the list, email it to [email protected] (or get at us on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook).

SHOW NOTES:

• There’s some confusion during our conversation as to how the characters in The Blue Lagoon are related. While researching the matter, Jake was relieved to discover that they aren’t siblings, but unsettled upon learning that they’re cousins.
• We of course talk quite a bit about the sublime performance of  Rodney Dangerfield, especially his facial expressions (such as this hat reaction) and his dancing.
• Phil speculates that maybe Caddyshack was autobiographical. It was, but mostly pulled from Brian Doyle-Murray's experiences. From one of the better Caddyshack "things you didn't know" pages out there: "To write their screenplay, Ramis, Kenney, and Doyle-Murray locked themselves in a room and tried to recall everything they knew about or experienced at golf courses and country clubs growing up—most of which came from Doyle-Murray, who caddied at Indian Hill Country Club in the suburbs of Chicago as a kid."
• When talking about Mad Magazine, Phil couldn't remember the name of cartoonist Mort Drucker. Chevy Chase  looks like if his own Mort Drucker caricature came to life.
• In the Marx Brothers movies, the role of Margaret Dumont was to sell the Marx Brothers by reacting to their bullshit. 
• Phil says "empty pool" when he means to say "drained pool" politics while talking about The Sum of Us by Heather Mcgee.
• Here’s the scene from Natural Born Killers that features Rodney. It’s disturbing, but it’s also the best part of the movie.
• We mention “Weird Al” Yankovic. There’s none of this in the podcast, but we think you should know that Phil's wife Beth continues to talk about her new character, a terrifying vision from the future Weird AI. He's a song parody writing artificial intelligence at the end of time.
