    Andrew McCarthy (Pretty in Pink, Weekend at Bernie’s) joins us this week to talk all about his New York Times Best Selling book “Walking with Sam” and how he’s learned from tumultuous experiences with his own family how important it is to have honest, adult relationships with his children. Andrew goes on to talk about his relationship with the Brat Pack, how the association negatively impacted his career, and what it’s been like reuniting with its members. We also talk about his opinion directing TV, being a cultural touchstone for a generation of people, and his fondness for Weekend at Bernie’s.

    I work on film/tv productions in nyc. Andrew McCarthy rules as a director, you work for him you’re done in under 12 hours, openly says “we’re not winning an Oscar here”. No bullshit, no ego, such a legit dude.

      Yes, this movie makes me laugh the hardest but I love Office Space and Idle Hands as well. I need to buy Office Space. Shallow Hal is one of the funniest on my list as well.

      My sister and I always say, "That's illegal! What you are doing is illegal." whenever we see or hear something that we highly disagree with... like seeing pineapple on being put on pizza.

      “All I’m saying is, why don’t we pretend he didn’t die? JUST FOR A BIT!”
      “How do you like that? He gets laid more dead than I do alive.”
      “He made a damn good float though, huh?”😆

    Weekend At Bernies is one of the most brilliant high concept comedies in movie history, and Andrew's character Larry is one of the most interesting comedic characters in movie history. He's clearly a psychopath, but he's presented as comic relief. Just brilliant.

    I never laughed so hard in a movie until I saw Weekend At Bernie's. Terry Kiser was hilarious, how could he ever keep a straight face during the shoots. And who could ever forget the classic line "Hi Tawny, I'm Horny" spoken by Andrew McCarthy himself.

    • @AHugeCorporation
      @AHugeCorporation 10 месяцев назад

      Me too! I'm so happy to hear him say this. I have no idea why I love this movie or why it still holds up, but I think it's mainly McCarthy's performance and the tight, fast-paced script do most of the heavy lifting. The jokes aren't even very good but he sells them so well. I don't think the boating scene is 100% needed but other than that, not a wasted scene.

    I'm so happy to hear Andrew is proud of "Bernie's". I was first shown a clip from it in high school and laughed like crazy. After that, I tracked it down as fast as I could. One of my favourite comedies. They don't make them like that anymore!

    I’m younger, just under 40, but watched weekend at Bernie’s over a decade ago? for the first time. It’s the movie that makes me laugh the most. I watched it a couple of years ago at my mother’s house and tried not to wake her up laughing. Tickled me like crazy! I just bought it on blu-ray and watched it again. I almost died laughing. I love when that guy says, ‘That’s illegal’ with all that crazy boat stuff going on! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I was thinking that there’s a whole lotta illegal stuff going on that weekend!

  • @twistoffate4791
    @twistoffate4791 11 месяцев назад +11

    Andrew, I gotta tell ya that "Man in Motion" is STILL a powerful message to someone fighting his or her way through life. When it comes on the radio, I turn it way up and sing it loud. And when the theme song comes on, I still cry. It reminds me of youth gone by, and the happier days of my life with the family and friends that I knew.

  • @BreannaMae

    Growing up my family spent almost every weekend at a little farmhouse my grandparents owned. We had a tiny TV with a built in VCR and a small selection of tapes. We would have bonfires until late and then everyone would go inside and watch movies until we fell asleep. Weekend At Bernies was our movie of choice 90% of the time. To this day when I watch it, even if I'm alone, I have this comforting feeling like I'm surrounded by family.

    @Weezlenut 11 месяцев назад +8

    I love Weekend at Bernies. Such an original idea and I think movies or TV shows that put a regular person/people in progressively more outrageous situations are by far some of the most laugh out loud funniest. Both Andrew and Jonathan were great in those types of roles and I would say this was the pinnacle for both of them. The movie may not have gotten any awards but it has become a pop culture icon that is referenced in other movies and TV shows which to me, is even higher praise.

    • @Terry-nx8kg
      @Terry-nx8kg 5 дней назад +1

      I can understand why Andrew didn't like the experience of making Less Than Zero. That being said, the film still turned out to be great in my opinion. It also has one of the best, most haunting scores I can think of by Thomas Newman.

    Weekend at Bernies is hilarious. Its funny sometimes when you see an actor basically hating everything you grew up loving. It really puts into perspective how great of an actor someone is, when they sell you something, they themselves don't even like or even look back on with fond memories, while you bought it, hook, line and sinker and do look back on with happiness.

    My friends and I went to a Welsh speaking school and occasionally would get sent out of the classroom by the teacher for speaking English and what we were actually doing was quoting lines to each other from Weekend at Bernies.

    Andrew is wrong about LESS THAN ZERO. Even though it's so different from the book, it's still a fantastic movie and in my top 5 of all time. He should be very PROUD of that movie and the unforgettable inprint that film made on my and many others lives. To me, it was successful. If not, I wouldn't give a damn about it. It's a yearly ritual in December to watch it. What the studio needs to do is release all the original footage on deleted scenes in an upcoming re-release of the film on Blu-Ray. We deserve to see ALL the cut footage as well. To me, my favorite Andrew film is Less Than Zero. Andrew may have bad memories of that film and the experience of it all, but I just think it's just a great, emotional film of dramatic weight. From the cast to the score by Thomas Newman, it's just perfect.
