Tonight's Podcast on "Steve Rubin's Saturday Night at the Movies" is devoted to "Porky's - the first comedy to gross over $100 million
Happy Saturday everyone!??Tonight’s podcast film topic focuses on the first American comedy film to gross more than $100 million at the boxoffice – 1981-1982’s “Porky’s,” which took the raunchy teen comedy genre introduced in “Animal House” to the next outrageous level.??My guest will be actor, filmmaker and theater preservationist Mark Herrier of Lompoc, CA (which is pronounced like cowpoke). Mark played Billy, the more buttoned-down member of the “dirty half-dozen” in the Porky’s series (there were three films), and he goes into detail about the experience of making these crazy comedies that were conceived by filmmaker Bob Clark (“A Christmas Story”). I have a personal connection because Melvin Simon Productions hired me to be the unit publicist on “Porky’s 2: The Next Day,” so I spent the summer of 1982 in Fort Lauderdale on the set of this crazy un-PC comedy series.??Here’s a link to the Podcast, which is also available on Amazon and Spotify. The new episode on “Steve Rubin’s Saturday Night at the Movies” should be up by 6 p.m. PST tonight. Cheers!
