Chicago and movies, one tour at a time: chicagomovietours.com. PhD. Transplant from Louisiana. Hardcore Gene Kelly fan.
Not consistently funny throughout, but when the jokes hit, they hit hard. There were times I was laughing so hard I could not breathe.

Oral history of “Risky Business,” including how the setting—Chicago’s North suburbs and connecting train lines into the city—enhance the movie’s darker themes.
The Making of Risky Business
Forty-two years after the film’s release, the cast and crew recall the creation of a North Shore coming-of-age classic — and the birth of a Hollywood megastar.

Worth watching—if only to see the players (hilariously) figure out how to dance together in sync. Also, how do most of these guys look younger now than they did in 1985?! 🏈

Two thoughts: (1) this was released at The Most inopportune time, particularly for those of us who’ve spent the last month in Chicago; (2) if you want a crude mashup of Spike Lee’s “Bamboozled,” Shirley Jackson’s “The Lottery,” and “The Truman Show,” then have I got a movie for you! [Fin]
