Problematic Movies of the '80s | Risky Business (1983)
By Don Hall
I’m not entirely sure why I voted for Ronald Reagan in 1984 but I’m starting to suspect that it may have had something to do with my love of movies featuring rich, white boys and their capitalistic coming of age stories. I honestly can’t say why these stories were appealing at the time. Perhaps it was that I so wanted to be one of those wealthy dudes on the cusp of their lives, that I had grown up poor and aspired to a paradigm of success dictated by these lives onscreen, that watching them fail then succeed in interesting and funny ways was golden to my budding capitalist brain.
While technically not a comedy (listed on IMDb as a Comedy/Crime/Drama), Tom Cruise in Risky Business was a Big Deal to me as a high school turd in kid’s clothing. The story of Joel Goodsen and his coming of age via prostitution and capitalism fueled my own fantasies (as it likely fueled the fantasies of most guys my age) that I, too, could combine my hormonally challenged state of constant boner with my desire to eschew the trappings of college and expectations and money and win at life. Also, perhaps if not being Joel, maybe being one of his friends invited over to the clean, suburban brothel and getting it on with an older pro who happened to be clean and have all her teeth.
To be honest, after 30-odd years, I couldn’t remember much about the film. I recalled the iconic underwear dance in the living room, the sex on the train scene (sort of) and the Curtis Armstrong (also Booger in Revenge of the Nerds) admonition that sometimes you gotta just say “What the fuck?” as life advice. Vaguely, I remembered something about a Fabergé egg, his dad’s Porsche rolling into a lake and a prostitute party in his parents’ house.
Risky Business Written and Directed by Paul Brickman 1983
Like Fast Times at Ridgemont High, this is a better movie than I remembered. A young Joe Pantoliano as the poorly named pimp, Guido; Bronson Pinchot; and, in perhaps a touch of fate, yet another one of my ’80s film faves set in Chicago. The script is pretty solid and the performances are great. Like Home Alone but with whores and TV dinners. And some excellent cinematography to boot.
The opening scene is Joel telling us about a sexy dream he had involving a naked stranger showering in his neighbor’s house only to reveal that he is going to flunk his college exams and ruin his life by focusing on sex instead of his grades. Joel’s fear of failing life is what motivates everything that follows and thus isn’t all that different from what most teenagers grapple with. For that matter, it isn’t that different than we adults feel on a routine basis which is why there’s so much fucking therapy out there.
Joel’s parents split to go deal with an ailing aunt, he drinks Chivas Regal and Coke with an uncooked TV dinner. He dances. He struggles to be cool (aka sexually experienced) with his high school buddies who somehow smoke cigars while playing poker. He is then goaded into calling a prostitute via the classified ads by his seemingly all-wise friend with the Jew-fro and we’re off to the races.
Lana and her co-workers like servicing these well-heeled high school kids — instead of feeling entitled to the sex they’re paying for, they’re grateful. They’re clean. And, in the case of Joel, Lana manipulates him as aggressively as Booger did but to more specific and nefarious ends.
Problematic Moments & Themes
Aside from the bizarre idea that prostitutes in the ’80s in Chicago were all young, white, pretty, as well as looking a bit like all the women in a Jane Fonda aerobics video, the presentation of feminism is more solid than one would expect from the premise. Lana (Rebecca DeMornay) is the master of her destiny despite initially running from Guido and is the instigator of all that unfolds. Joel does just about everything to get her out of his house and avoid the inevitable turn my parents’ home into a cathouse plot. She leads him by the head of his penis down each twist and turn. Far from the undertow of masculine violence, these boys are not rapey or abusers. They’re teenage boys who are horny and mostly really awkward about it.
Again, as it seems to be a common thread in the films of my youth, there is only one black character, Bruce A. Young playing a crossdresser pro named Jackie. His/her appearance isn’t transphobic as Jackie remains completely in control of the situation.
The only aspect, in fact, of the entire film I found to be annoying in that 2018 whiny ass social justice sort of way is the fact that this is about a really rich white kid starting up a whorehouse in the suburbs and, not only does he get away with it, he gets accepted into Princeton despite have a 3.14 grade point average and sub-par SAT scores. He pimps out his family home, dumps his father’s Porsche in Lake Michigan, gets suspended for five days and suffers virtually no consequence for any of it.
I mean, sure, to inject a certain social justice in the margins and have him go to prison or have Lana get pistol-whipped would perhaps be more realistic it certainly wouldn’t then have the “Comedy” part of it.
Did it Hold Up?
For me, yes. It’s a remarkably beautiful tryptic through 1980s Chicago, the unveiling of the mega-star that became Tom Cruise (say what you want about his insane religious beliefs, I love the guy to this day as a movie star), and, while a picture of wealthy white privilege at work, still a solid story told well.
Overall
Scale of 1 to 10 1 = Classic 10 = Burn all VHS copies of it
Risky Business gets a 3
Next Up: Back to School (1986)
NOTE: Is it any wonder that Kavanaugh felt entitled as a teen? These movies scream that he is destined for success and can get away with anything.

Stejskal: Carlos Salcedo a window into what could've been for RSL, MLS
June 26, 20182:41PM EDT
In February 2014, back when he was a 20-year-old squad player for Real Salt Lake, Carlos Salcedo stepped into an elevator in Tucson, Ariz., looked me dead in the eye and, somewhere between the lobby and fourth floor, told me that he would play for Mexico at the 2018 World Cup.
I nearly laughed.
At the time, Salcedo was entering his second season as an RSL Homegrown. I was heading into my second full year as a member of the club’s communications staff. He had a productive rookie season in 2013, appearing in 13 regular season games for a team that pushed for the Supporters’ Shield and advanced to the US Open Cup and MLS Cup finals. Everyone at RSL knew he was talented, but no one – not a soul – thought he’d reach those sorts of heights. I filed his claim away as the cocksure ramblings of a young athlete, a throwaway comment not all that out of the ordinary in the extraordinarily self-assured world of pro sports. I think I may have rolled my eyes.
Four years later, Salcedo is making me look like a damn fool.
Never the most highly-regarded young player on the team during his time at RSL, Salcedo has spent the last week turning heads on the biggest stage in sports. Now 24, he’s played every minute for Mexico at the World Cup, lining up at right back in El Tri’s upset win over defending champion Germany before shifting to the middle for their victory against South Korea on Sunday. He’s been a major part of Juan Carlos Osorio’s impressive squad in Russia, emerging with Chucky Lozano, Jesus Gallardo and Edson Alvarez as the leaders of a new generation of young Mexican stars ahead of their Group F finale against Sweden on Wednesday.  
Salcedo, who spent time in the Chivas and Tigres academies before joining the RSL youth setup late in 2011, is having one of the best World Cups of any player with MLS connections, perhaps trailing only LAFC star and Mexico teammate Carlos Vela in that category. His success is a feather in the cap of RSL and MLS, a powerful statement of the type of player that Salt Lake and other teams around the league can help develop. But every tackle he makes in Russia, every shot he blocks, every win he’s a part of, all the praise he receives – all of it comes with a sad sense of what might have been.
You may already know the broad outlines of his story: After being frustrated by a lack of playing time in his second season with RSL, Salcedo took to Twitter in November 2014 to ask the team not to pick up his contract option. Citing personal differences with then-GM Garth Lagerwey, Salcedo, who was then represented by his father, made it clear he had no interest in returning to the club in 2015.

— Carlos Salcedo (@Csalcedojr) November 25, 2014
Behind the scenes, RSL began a discussion about how to proceed. Though first-year head coach Jeff Cassar had given Salcedo four fewer starts and played him nearly 400 fewer minutes than he’d logged in 2013, the club decided midway through the 2014 season that he’d enter 2015 as a starting center back.
The choice colored their entire offseason. It shaped their protected list for that winter’s expansion draft and influenced their decision to ship veteran center back Nat Borchers to Portland that December. When Salcedo hit send on his tweet, he threw a wrench into all those plans. It didn’t help that the club’s technical staff was a bit unsettled. Lagerwey was in the final weeks of his contract with RSL. It wasn’t yet known that he’d leave the club to join the Sounders that winter, but all the principles knew his departure was possible. They’d begun preparing for the eventuality by bringing current GM Craig Waibel from Cassar’s staff into the front office, formally hiring him as technical director on Dec. 16, one day after news broke of Lagerwey’s impending move to Seattle.
Lagerwey, Waibel, Cassar and team president Bill Manning, who moved to Toronto FC in the fall of 2015, were all in on the first discussions about what to do with Salcedo. According to sources, there was some initial debate. Keeping Salcedo on the squad was considered, with serious thought given to trying to repair the relationship between the front office and Salcedo and Salcedo and the locker room. In the end, concerns about how it would look to bring back a young player after he had so publicly disrespected the organization won out. They decided to sell.

Unfortunately for RSL, Salcedo’s tweet and he and his father’s deep connections with Liga MX clubs gave the club little leverage in negotiations. Still, they thought they’d worked out a solid deal. Waibel told me in 2016 that RSL had an agreement in place to sell Salcedo to an unnamed Liga MX club for a $ 1 million fee with a 25 percent sell-on clause.
For a player with just 25 career first-team appearances, that would have been a solid piece of business, but Waibel said it fell through when Salcedo and his father backed away in the final stages. After the deal was scrapped, Salcedo made it clear to RSL that he would only go to one team: Chivas.
Having already moved on from Salcedo, Salt Lake agreed to try to send him to Guadalajara. At this point, Salcedo held all the cards. Unwilling to bring him back and not wanting to play a game of chicken with their once-prized academy product, RSL sold Salcedo to Chivas for a bargain price of $ 450,000 with a one-time sell-on fee of $ 200,000. RSL collected the sell-on fee when Chivas loaned Salcedo to Italian club Fiorentina in 2016. They didn’t get a cut of his loan from Chivas to Frankfurt last summer and won’t see a dime of the multi-million transfer fee the Bundesliga club sent to Guadalajara when they acquired Salcedo permanently and signed him to a four-year deal in May.
It’s one thing to lose a talented player that goes onto big things. If a club gets a decent amount of production from him and nets a solid transfer fee, that’s great. It’s something MLS teams should shoot for. But to lose a player like Salcedo for a pittance after not giving him much run? That stings, regardless of the circumstances.
They can take some solace in the fact that they’ve patched things up with Salcedo, who hired American agent Lyle Yorks several years ago and is no longer represented by his father. He returned to Salt Lake City last summer after he suffered a shoulder injury in the FIFA Confederations Cup, spending time with old friends and making an unannounced visiting Rio Tinto Stadium, where, according to The Salt Lake Tribune’s Chris Kamrani, he and Waibel embraced and caught up. He has ties to the club beyond the first-team, too. His godfather, former USMNT assistant Martin Vazquez, the man who first brought him to RSL’s academy after he washed out of Tigres in 2011, remains in charge of the club’s youth setup. Depending on how far Mexico advance in Russia, he may be back again in a couple of weeks for a July 10 friendly between Frankfurt and RSL at Rio Tinto Stadium.
If he is in Salt Lake, RSL should celebrate him. They should be proud of his growth. But there’s a haunting element to how his time in Utah ended. Waibel told me back in 2016 that RSL will never structure another deal like Salcedo’s. They’ll look for a sell-on percentage in any and all future transfers. They’ve got scars from the sale. It might not have been a direct reaction to Salcedo, but they’ve played their youngsters more since he left. Homegrowns Justen Glad, Brooks Lennon, Danny Acosta and Bofo Saucedo all get plenty of run. They’ve grown.
The rest of MLS should, too. There’s a place in this league for talented young players, particularly those that come up through their team’s academy. The kids need to earn their playing time, but they need a little patience, too. If RSL had given Salcedo a little more leash and if Salcedo had been a little less rash back in 2014, they just may have been able to ride that elevator to the top together.
