Refresh My Memory – Real Genius

Sneaky Dragon

What’s the rarest element? The element of surprise at finding an 80’s teen comedy that doesn’t make you go, “Uh-oh” in 2024. Welcome to the stage, 1985’s Real Genius, starring Val Kilmer. But will Jason Dedrick, Eric Fell and Vicky Van give this college romp a passing mark?

While they talk about their memories of the film, the gang enjoy some popcorn made in a sealed pop after the producer learns that Jiffy Pop plus a gas stove equals fire.

They also have some High-C, which to be honest is the best grade these kids would get at Pacific Tech University.

Our class acts also come up with their own tribute drink: Lazlo’s Pajamas. How do you make it?

• Into an ice filled small glass, add 1 oz vodka
• Pour cold-brew coffee two-thirds to the top
• Add coconut milk to taste

The producer’s wife said it was smooth as “F”. Like one of those candy bars that aren’t like a candy bar – not a heavy coffee taste, which was nice.

If you make an Lazlo’s Pajamas or make up one of your own, please send a picture to [e-mail] by following this link! Even if you don’t, we’d still love to hear from you. Also let us know what you think of the show and if you have any suggestions for future films.
