MPM: Ep. 113 - Harold Ramis, We Salute You!

Caddyshack | Stripes | Groundhog Day - Harold Ramis Tribute - Hey everyone! Welcome to episode #113 of Motion Picture Meltdown! We apologize for the week delay, but we are back in the swing of things. As most of you cinephiles know, we lost a giant in comedy writing, acting, and directing in February. Most of you recognize of as Egon from Ghostbusters, but Harold Ramis was also extremely talented in other areas. In this episode we touch base on several Ramis works, but most focus on the comedy greats Caddyshack, Stripes, and Groundhog Day. You will hear such things as the creation of gopher unity, info on Mark's cholesterol intake, Dehart's disdain for Andie McDowell, and Phil's urge to kill rising. Enjoy!
