Nothing says 80's comedy better than 1985's Fletch. Directed by Michael Ritchie and written by Andrew Bergman based on the novels by Gregory McDonald but the movie is all Chevy Chase at his peak. Do the different aliases, one liners and pratfalls hold up in 2021? Does the Harold Faltermeyer score, which sounds eerily like Beverly Hills Cop still resonate? Well, watch and see what the YKY crew think. "Moon River..."

"Dying is easy...comedy is hard." With those words tonight's episode of YKY Classic is the 1982 comedy, My Favorite Year.

You want to smile...this is the film.

This is a film that is an intricate puzzle where you have to pay attention to every little detail due to it's very scarce dialogue. It's great to hear the perspective of the creators who built the puzzle. Hopefully the conversation will get more eyes on this unique movie.
