Lectures For Lifelong Learners!

You could make the argument that the 1980s were the greatest decade ever for movie comedies. Consider the talent at the top of his/her game: Rodney Dangerfield, Chevy Chase, Bill Murray, Eddie Murphy, John Hughes and his “Brat Pack,” Steve Martin, John Candy, Dan Aykroyd, Whoopi Goldberg, Robin Williams, Billy Crystal, Rob Reiner, Bette Midler, and more. We’ll examine the cultural and creative atmosphere that allowed these talents to flourish, and of course enjoy clips of some of the funniest moments ever put on screen. Note: This is a two-part lecture, and should be scheduled as two separate 45-60 minute lectures.
