REVENGE OF THE NERDS 40th Anniversary Panel - NJHC Aug 2024

[@joshuaowens4797]

The 1980's... the best decade in history of movies and music! We had it so good. 😭

[@bassage13]

I'm an 80s kid. I try not to be biased. I have thought hard about pop culture in all the different decades, and I can't find a better one than the 80s. The fact that my Gen z kids and their whole generation prefer our movies and music says A LOT. It truly was the best time to be a kid.

[@hectorlopez1069]

Certainly

[@Kasigi03]

True, but we're also the generation that needs to stop spoon feeding our childhoods to our youth. They need their own voices.

[@lillybee60rupert58]

70s and 80s were the best times

[@tjp1451]

It was an awesome time…I was 13 in 1981….perfect time to be born.

[@pokeyinla]

I met Don Gibb (Ogre) in Vegas at the Sands Hotel in 1991. He called me and my friends a BUNCH OF NERDS! It was glorious. Don’s a good egg.

What an amazing and refreshingly candid retrospective. Some of the films of the 1980s have qualities that will never be replicated so we need to keep these classics in minds of all future generations.

[@RealWallyGator]

I was a freshman at the University of Arizona when they were making this movie. Got to see lots of the scenes being filmed and can see some friends in the movie who were extras. Great memories.

[@davesmith9684]

Nice!!

[@jrskigmann1778]

My friend's mom took a group of us 12-13 year olds to a theater & dropped us off. Don't think movies were as easy to vet back then (lol). Little did we know how much we would laugh (to the point of tears) & carry on about this movie for weeks & years to come. An absolute classic. They don't make them like they used to (unfortunately to so many).

[@ll7868]

This movie came out the same year as The Scorpions; Love At First Sting. I already owned the album but the day I went to see Revenge Of The Nerds I bought the cassette and was listening to it on a walkman waiting for the movie to start. Whenever I hear Bad Boys Running Wild or Rock You Like A Hurricane I think of the movie, when I watch the movie those songs start looping in my head, they're forever linked together in my memories.

[@lfh1973]

That’s awesome! I always think of Ratt Out of the Cellar. I was big into that when this movie came out

[@ll7868]

@@lfh1973 Robbin Crosby and Warren DeMartini wrote some amazing riffs, '85s You're In Love still plays on loops in my head regularly, (yup, there it goes, when it stops nobody knows) they're very underrated but I especially loved the drums on Ratt's albums, Blobby Blotzer used Ludwig kits with mahogany shells on his bass and toms, they had a very deep, rich sound while most rock drummers used maple drum shells with a higher tone.

Julia Montgomery looks amazing. Before Revenge of the Nerds, I remember when she played Samantha Vernon on the soap One Life to Live. Her husband on the show named Brad Vernon was played by Jameson Parker from the 80's TV series, Simon and Simon. I was a student at the University of Arizona at the time and watched the filming of the scene where they were unloading that big trunk from the top of the station wagon into the dorm room. That was a great memory of mine and that movie is still one of my favorites.

[@wadevid]

yeah i wish she talked a little more here. After all....She was really a big reason I (we) all loved watching the movie so much back then... lol

[@BlueJaybeeBird]

Revenge of the Nerds was on t.v. the other day and I loved watching every second. I just remember being a little child in the 80s and having zero parental control. I could watch anything and play outside, roam the neighborhood and town. No way this movie could be made today with everyone's little baby feelings getting in the way. Love this movie.
