Move it, move it, move it! On this episode of the 80s Flick Flashback Podcast, Tim Williams and the crew (Chad Sheppard, Laramy Wells, and Robby Retro) are reporting for duty to investigate one of the biggest comedy franchises in history: "Police Academy".

In this episode, we strip away the sequels and go back to where it all started. How did a raunchy, low-budget comedy about a group of misfit cadets manage to dominate the box office and define a decade of humor? We break down the casting magic (from Steve Guttenberg’s charm to Michael Winslow’s sound effects), the production secrets, and the unexpected heart behind the hijinks.

In this episode, we cover:

👮‍♂️ The Origins: How the film was green-lit and the casting "what-ifs."

🎬 Behind-the-Scenes: Trivia and production stories you haven't heard.

📈 The Box Office Boom: Why audiences connected so hard with these characters.

🚔 The Legacy: Sequels, the cartoon, and how the movie holds up today.

🍿 Nostalgia Trip: Our favorite scenes, quotes, and memories.
