Larry Linville came to our college to speak in the late eighties and I was in charge of videotaping his lecture. He talked about the various shows and movies he’d been in, and he mentioned “a horrible teen sex comedy that was no one saw.” I knew it from the video store at the front of the theater I worked at on the weekends, so when I was taking the mic off him, I said “I bet I can make you cringe: School Spirit!” His face dropped, and he said “Ugh, don’t tell me that you SAW it!” I said I did, because people were always renting it from the video store I worked at, and he said “At least I can count on residuals from it, I guess.” He also thanked me for not mentioning its name during his lecture!
congrats on rubbing elbows with celebrities! that’s awesome, especially as it sounded like he was truly glad that you didn’t humiliate him for being part of the movie
As students, we rented Captain Lust and his Pirate Women 3 times a week for a year! We had song sheets and everything. One day, we went to rent it and it was gone, someone had stolen it and it wasnt us. That was 37 years ago and I still mourn the loss of that film, RIP Captain, RIP
This movie is 80s to the core. Yes the random party breaking out scene and yes bras weren't cool and losing your viginity was all that mattered. Those were the days.
Great job on the review, Cecil. As someone who was going to college when this film was made, I can say that students in fictional colleges were having a lot more fun than I was and they never seemed to have to go to class.
When I was a kid, i recall being scaroused for the first time in my life seeing this cover on the shelf lol. Never actually got to..uh.. experience it until now. Thanks for the vid!
Core Late Night Cinemax Movie Memory Watch Unlocked. I remember catching this at some point in the mid to late ‘90’s one night during some marathon they were running that night.
Yes parties just breaking out seemed to take place a lot in the 1980s. Much like in the early part of the 21st century in high school people broke out in spontaneous dance routines.
Another hidden 80s gem! It's not perfect, but stupid 80s fun! School Spirit is one of those movies were you can just turn your brain off and enjoy the film. Don't think about anything lol just watch it and laugh! You can laugh at the movie or with it, it doesn't matter. As long as you're laughing and having fun, the movie did it's job. I'm really soft when it comes to 80 films! That's just me. Worth a watch! Great video, man! Thanks for reviewing this one!
@@Steve_P_B If we go down that rabbit hole, then we have to revamp the entire point system. Is half a boob only worth 1/2? Side boob 1/3? That way lies madness and eye strain. I just think counting boobs in movies is a silly endeavor, especially for a respectable film critic, so I commented on it out of amusement and to appease the YT algorithm. Cheers.
I remember dad had this movie on VHS. Was one they didn't let me watch right away. When I did finally see it when I got older, I thought best way to describe it is cheesy fun. Yeah, it is very cheesy, but a fun movie to watch too. Anyways, thank you for this, did enjoy it.
I love your sense of humor in these good bad flicks. You've also introduced me to so many movies I would have never seen otherwise. And all those awesomely good bad Italian films
Comment, comment, comment. Enthusiastic comment. Comment about how much I love this channel. And, as someone already pointed out, those were P-Nuttles in the vending machine. One of my all-time favorites.
I’m really hoping that in the coming centuries some plucky college student will write a detailed and heartfelt explanation of this movie’s deep themes, socio-political importance, and relevance to the modern era.
Thanks for taking me on a tour of this one - always saw the video cover but never saw the movie. Definitely more entertaining with you. "That's not how you play bass!" Lol
I was leaving the house with my bass in a gig bag once and a neighbor asked if I played guitar. I replied that it was a bass. He responded, "Oh, I'm so sorry. That's like calling a New Zealander Australian!"
@@Belgand Then again, maybe that was his way of implying that you could get a girl. But once the bass is out, it's to the side of the stage where no girls are wont to look...
As the AI has been messing with your visibility, I am posting and interacting as swiftly as I can on your new uploads. Together we will beat the machine.
You can't get more 80's than Gleaming Spires. New Wave to the core. "Are You Ready For The Sex Girls" is one of the best music videos ever made. Not coincidentally, I've seen Grimshaw's pool in other sex comedies and Wynorski movies. His house looks familiar, too... I think it was used in "18 Again" - George Burns switcheroo comedy - how do I remember this stuff, but still forget birthdays?
Thought I recognized Ursula there, it's Marta Kober, the hottie who gets impaled along with her boyfriend in Friday the 13th part 2, surprised you didn't mention it there, Cecil 😂 She's sure fallen on hard times...
Lt. Col. Frank Burns became a university president. (He was promoted to Lt. Col. when he got sent stateside at the beginning of season 6). He still eats worms :)
I remember seeing this in all the video shops in the 80s and even as a youngster myself thinking it looked cheesy and awful. Took 40 years but seems I was right :)
4:22 I did some digging, Cecil. And these are not candy bars (I thought so as well), these are basically a bag of nuts that come in a variety of flavors, and shockingly enough, they're still around.
You know what, I was wondering about that. 37 breasts? So 18 1/2 pairs? Or... Did one woman expose one but not the other? Did the camera only catch one? I have questions
OH MY GOD YOU CUT OUT THE BEST JOKE!!! " Scrub Nurse: I never saw anyone brain dead with a hard on. " " E.R. Nurse: I guess you never met my boyfriend. "
I think there needs to be some happy medium. We seem to be getting super high and super low budget films these days. Would be nice if there was something in the middle.
I remember this movie from when I was a kid, especially the stinger in the credits and the ghost dude going back to grab the condom out of his own hand.
I was thinking halfway through the video "Did the screenwriter just forget that the main character is dead?!" and then you said the same thing, hahaha.

he deserved better than this but that's the nature of acting and needing to eat
Thats really funny. At least he seems to have a sense of humor about it. :)
That’s funny and touching.
You could have spoken about M*A*S*H
My local video store made a killing renting VHS’s like this. The owner probably owns an island now. Thanks, Cecil. You da man!
the only guarantees of life are death, taxes, and sex sells
if he was smart enough to sell before DVD rentals tanked…
Thanks!

It was a magical time
You can say that again.
“Geezer, let’s dance” may just be the best line in cinema history.
Made me laugh so much I had to leave it in
"Avenge Meeeee!!" I almost spit out my tea 😂
I'm so happy that got a laugh. It made me chuckle when I did it. Its so dumb but funny.
Judy: "He slimed me." 😏😏😏
Sorry sorry, bad ectoplasm joke. 🤣🤣🤣
Had to be done

A wholesome 80's comedy about necrophilia 🥰🥰🥰bonus points for having ghosts that aren't as transparent as those shirts the girls were wearing!
This looks like a film that would air on USA UP ALL NIGHT from way back in the day. Awesome job on the video Cecil 👍👍
Thanks! Yes, this was on USA Up all night quite often

Sometimes breakdancing, depending on the location

37 Naked breasts in the movie? Miscount or Mastectomy?
Eh. Whatever. Great video as always Cecil. Keep 'em coming.
Sideboob
Or maybe only half her chest is visible in the shot, either cropped out by the edge of the screen or sideboob

@@Grimaldi-ow6mx not half a boob, half the chest where one boob is seen and one not seen because it's cut off by the edge of the screen

I can always count on you resurrecting movies i haven’t seen or thought of in 30 years.
Thanks Cecil 😂
You are very welcome!
This, Low Budget Film Was Broadcasted Repedly on U.S.A. Up All Night & T.B.S. Friday Nights.
God I miss those programming blocks.
I love your sense of humor in these good bad flicks. You've also introduced me to so many movies I would have never seen otherwise. And all those awesomely good bad Italian films
Yet another 80s gem. Thank you for sharing this with us, Cecil. You’re truly awesome.
"Some ghosts should be busted"...
Bustin makes me feel goo😅
Looks like a lot of 80s movies 😊, I miss those days.
They all flew by , and I didn't even know it.
"don't know what you got, til its gone...."
How did I miss *this* one?! Man, I love this channel! Between the movie clips and Cecil's narration, the LOLs never stopped!
Thanks!
Lucky Pierre lol the way you said that had me rolling
:)
Definitely one of those kinds of '80s flicks that could never be made nowadays! Those kinds are my faves!!
We don't get these anymore sadly
It wasn't that bras hadn't been invented yet, it's the fact that they burned them all in the '60s!😁
😆😆😆
Good point!
@@GoodBadFlicks Usually two points.
I always saw the VHS in my local video store but it was never available to rent. Someone at my store LOVED this movie!
Ah, the 1980s, where you couldn't leave your home without running into a random band looking to play a house party gig.
and they wouldn't be half bad either!
Comment, comment, comment. Enthusiastic comment. Comment about how much I love this channel.

So in this movie when you die, you don't really die, you just gain the ability to become invisible.
Yup
Another great video from my favorite TH-cam channel. Keep up the great work Cecil!🎉
Thanks for taking me on a tour of this one - always saw the video cover but never saw the movie. Definitely more entertaining with you. "That's not how you play bass!" Lol
Thanks for watching!
It took me years to find this film. I don't remember the 1st time I saw it, but it was aweekend party staple. Well, this and Night Patrol.
Night Patrol was great!
5:20-- i love your little laugh there, Cecil
:)
Guilty pleasure movies are the best kind of movies
A great video Cecil! I always enjoy the details you go into after the movie ends!
Thanks!
You're appearing on my feed again.
Hurray!
That outro - Chef's Kiss.
Thank you for sticking up for us bass players. We are people too and hate being misrepresented in the entertainment industry.

Seriously. I'm starting to leave comments on old videos when I rewatch them. This AI crap is getting out of hand.
Its not where it was but its improving week over week.
"I never saw anyone brain dead with a hard on" 😂 Great line.
Hell yes. Guilty pleasure movie.
It's good to know that movie critics still have no idea what they're doing.
Yup. Always been a buncha sticks in the mud
Glad to see you posting so much again brother!!!
Ah,yeah. Doors...why does it have to be doors?!

Man, I wish thumbnails were nearly as good as VHS boxes.
Absolutely goated TH-camr
"Steven Seagal-runs" and "swallows Madelain's face" were funny AF
:)
You could literally use this as a college sex comedy prequel to the Netflix high school drama thriller aptly named School Spirits
Fantastic video as always
Thanks!
Thought I recognized Ursula there, it's Marta Kober, the hottie who gets impaled along with her boyfriend in Friday the 13th part 2, surprised you didn't mention it there, Cecil 😂 She's sure fallen on hard times...
Love this movie.Billy and Madeline were a cute couple.
The Discord watches are the best! ❤ as always amazing video.
Absolutely, they make good movies great, questionable ones fun and terrible ones bearable... we're looking at you Neighbourhood Watch
we all suffered with Neighborhood watch
I'm subscribed to several movie review youtubers, but *YOU* are the best : )
Thank you so much!
@@GoodBadFlicks thank you, too! =)
Billy really putting a new spin on the phrase "Ghosted."
man, I really missed out on a ghosted joke
Lt. Col. Frank Burns became a university president. (He was promoted to Lt. Col. when he got sent stateside at the beginning of season 6). He still eats worms :)
I love this movie so much, a great childhood memory!
I remember seeing this in all the video shops in the 80s and even as a youngster myself thinking it looked cheesy and awful. Took 40 years but seems I was right :)
Cecil, you make movies like this actually funny. Kudos to you buddy.
🤘😎🤘
Thanks!
YES... Goodbad serie is Back.
Hurray!
“I don’t know what I was expecting from the pervert ghost movie” 😂
Amazing 80s girl movie! Great fun!
"You guys sure like making macaroni-salad" -Oh man, I'm dying here, nice.
:)
I miss these silly sex comedies because a lot of them were actually quite fun.
Great video, Cecil!!!
Thanks!
4:22
I did some digging, Cecil. And these are not candy bars (I thought so as well), these are basically a bag of nuts that come in a variety of flavors, and shockingly enough, they're still around.
A few people in the comments told me they are toffee covered peanuts and that sounds delightful.
@@GoodBadFlicks They do look pretty good, especially the plus chocolate one.
37???!!! In a row???!!!
hehheehe
You know what, I was wondering about that. 37 breasts? So 18 1/2 pairs? Or... Did one woman expose one but not the other? Did the camera only catch one? I have questions
Never heard of this one, now i have to find it and watch this.
That critic only makes me want to rewatch it just to fact check
godspeed
i saw this in the theater in downtown San Diego. fun movie.
Another awesome video
Thanks!
Man..."Cocain is a hell of a drug".
This is the type of movie I would see on USA up all night on Saturday.
Huzzah, youtube is finally recommending these to me again!
Hurray!
Keep up the great work!
Thanks!
I'd definitely recomend gleaming spires great band the 2 main dudes meet while playing with sparks!
They did music for a bunch of movies!
Ah yes, another one of those films we saw on UP! All Night and then wore out at the video store.
OH MY GOD YOU CUT OUT THE BEST JOKE!!!
" Scrub Nurse: I never saw anyone brain dead with a hard on. "
" E.R. Nurse: I guess you never met my boyfriend. "
Thanks again!
Thanks for the support!
Good to see a new vid!
Glad it is seen!
I remember getting quite a few chuckles out of this movie.
Target audience seems to be people who hadn’t been to college. 🤷♂️
I miss the Wild West of film content. It might be coming back: we’re literally re-releasing concert videos in theaters…
I think there needs to be some happy medium. We seem to be getting super high and super low budget films these days. Would be nice if there was something in the middle.
Fun stuff, might check it out! 😂
omg please do Invisible Maniac sometime Cecil haha
Yes!
jezzus boss. that cookie reference was back in the days of albinob lack sheep, back when youtube was a private owned thing! holy carp
That was like prehisotic times in internet years
Ah I wish I could think of a good joke reference. Tremor's "precamiban life" jokes would work but I can't remember trhe exact quote!@@GoodBadFlicks
More like 8 minutes more than you need
Best part of Monday.
:)
I remember this movie from when I was a kid, especially the stinger in the credits and the ghost dude going back to grab the condom out of his own hand.
Time to add a new movie to the list
37?! In a row?
A BONER-INFUSED HAZE! 😆😅🤣😂☠ There are _so many_ great quips in this review I don't even know what to say other than: GOOD SHOW!
Thank you!
To be fair that critic basically gave a good and bad list for the movie, The Good: Boobs, the bad: everything else.
The Terrible Mr Grimshaw??? Oh my god!!
Great video
Thanks!
I wanna know what the flyer on the wall at 5:52 is advertising. It looks like Taiwan with a piano keyboard.
Bo Derek lied to us.....Ghosts CAN do it!
How dare she!
I was thinking halfway through the video "Did the screenwriter just forget that the main character is dead?!" and then you said the same thing, hahaha.
Yup. There were little things I glossed over but for the most part, they kind of forgot the whole "he's dead" plot point.
enjoyed this one
Thanks!
