- Today, we go back to September 1992 for the adventure comedy, Captain Ron. As always, we touch on all the other “happenings” of the time in the time capsule.
I’m delighted to be joined by my lovely friend, Shannon Skalka. Being a product of the 80’s, Shannon has a penchant for all things rad and tubular. She considers herself an expert on all the fads from that bodacious era and has the Members Only jacket to prove it. She is a proud aunt of two awesome nieces (and does her best to immerse them in 80’s nostalgia whenever possible). If she's not watching The Goonies for the 217th time she's brunching with friends or creating academic essays for her MBA. You can find Shannon on Facebook and Instagram.

What a wicked movie!! 😂😂😂 I remember renting this back in the day, we watched it Friday night, Saturday night and Sunday morning!!
Such a fun watch!!
Wow! But I recall maximizing my rental days with multiple viewings of a few movies as well - not Captain Ron, though ;)
i was 12 when this movie came out, and I remember telling my dad i didnt wanna see it (for whatever reason) but after he talked me into it and i saw it, i was hooked and returned to see it 4 or 5 times in the theater! Captain Ron has been a very close and dear movie of mine all my life!!! around that time i was also recording movies like that and 3 amigos, back to the future, vacations, on Audio cassette tape to listen to on trips or if i was in bed.. it was very relaxing to have your eye closed and picture the scenes in your head! im always quoting this movie and adding their clips in my Vlogs. thanks for posting this!
It's a surprising lil gem. I love your love of movies! Glad you liked this episode; hope you'll check out some of the others - a whole season on Kurt & Patrick ;) Thanks for watching.
The memories you ladies have!!! Wow! Patty Smyth's song with Don Henley is SO good. Entertaining; thanks, Katie & Shannon!
Shannon had a great memory! Me...not so much ;) Thanks for your support!
A shipboard boozie brunch with Captain Ron and Patty Smyth?!... (as real as it may seem, it was only in my dreams 😥)
Haha, that would be a wild brunch! ;)
I think this movie was perfectly casted, but I think that Martin Short could have played Captain Ron. I thought he was handsome in this movie, and he looked pretty fit shirtless (the shower scene). All he needed was an accent, a different hairstyle, and a five o'clock shadow, and he could have pulled it off. Watch "Cross My Heart" if you want to see Martin Short in a more studly role. And Kurt Russell played the jealous husband in "Unlawful Entry," which came out the same year as "Captain Ron." I think the original casting would have worked well, too.
Actually, you have a good point. While I haven't seen "Cross My Heart," I have seen (and will cover this season) "Unlawful Entry." Martin short is a perfectly fine looking man, I've just never thought of him as "sexy" in any way...but you brought up some good points - thank you!
