Edie McClurg

It was the secretary from Ferris Bueller that was a neighbor.

Yes, Edie McClurg.

Yeah, she's done a lot, I know.

Yeah, she was.

Uh, and upon it we get a plethora of, uh, information from, uh, three separate commentary tracks.

Uh, one of the commentary tracks is, uh, Cassandra Peterson, Edie McClurg, and, uh, John Paragon, which is a fam- a fantastic one to listen to.

Following that up is the, uh, director, uh, James, uh-

Signorelli

To begin with, uh, in the third track, uh, it's pointed out that the sofa and the candelabras are not the sofa and candelabras used in, uh, the actual, uh, Movie Macabre.

They were brought in new for this.

Uh, the, uh, the secondary, uh, track points out that, uh, the one actor is, uh, uh, Lee Van Cleef is, uh, there, which, uh, also, uh, Edie McClurg is excited to realize that it actually is, uh, Lee Van Cleef.

Um, so we're also talking about how it's also Peter Graves, uh, and that, uh, we actually, uh, Cassandra Peterson points out that the audio from the original is, uh, not as clear for his closing line.

You know, just a bunch of comedy figures.

Edie McClurg's back.

She was, you know, the woman that Steve Martin bitches out with at Plain Shots and Automobiles and is Ed Rooney's secretary in Ferris Bueller.

And also has a weird...

We'll deal with a major one and then a secondary one and a tertiary one.

But we'll deal with the first one, which happens to be Cassandra Peterson, Edie McClurg, and John Paragon, who are stars of this particular movie.

Yes.

I'm just going to correct you now and keep correcting you over and over again.

The film was directed by Alan Metter, written by Steve Campman, Will Porter, Peter Tokarev, and Harold Ramis.

It stars Rodney Dangerfield, Keith Gordon, Sally Kellerman, Burt Young, Terry Farrell, William Zabka, Ned Beatty, Sam Kinison, Paxton Whitehead, M. Emmett Walsh, Edie McClurg, and Robert Downey Jr.

Now Back to School was made on a budget of just $11 million and brought in over $90 million at the box office.

The movie has a Rotten Tomatoes Critics Tomato Meter score of 81% and an Audience Popcorn Meter score lower at 68%.

I like Dr. Turner.

She's quite fetching, and I like the voice.

I will say she wasn't a university employee, but I really liked Edie McClurg as Marge Sweetwater

when she's in there taking the notes.

Yeah.

Um, so we show up, and our guest star is, we show up, and our guest star is Edie McClurg.

Mm-hmm, who people might recognize from Planes, Trains, and Automobiles.

Yeah.

And it goes for a little while.

Mm-hmm, yeah.

I will say, now, someone like Edie McClurg, like, growing up in the '80s, like, to, and '90s, but to be a, an adult and working with someone who, when I was a kid, saw in movies, this was one of those sort of surreal-

Yeah

Uh, Ed O'Neill, uh, is in it.

Edie McClurg, of course you know her voice.

Um, oh, yeah, Adam Carolla, too.

But, uh, the, um, the voice that I'm not fond of [laughs] is, is Sarah Silverman.
