In Meatballs III: Summer Job (1986), Patrick Dempsey shemped as an older Rudy Gerner (from the original) in this 3rd instalment of the camp classic series.
While it wasn’t close to being darling with critics or audiences – it’s still my favorite in the franchise. Probably because it was the first one I’d rented as a new release back in ‘87… and I was the perfect age to relate to the smutty on-screen shenanigans.
The tale of dead adult film star returning from the thereafter to help a nerd with his sex life was just the right kind of riské this impressionable 14 year old needed at the time.
Also, the soundtrack is a constant reminder that I need to listen to more Loverboy. Heck, I should live more Loverboy.
