I'm baffled as to how it has managed to completely evade my notice for all these years.
Interesting. I know I've waxed fondly about it in chat, as has Jacob.
You should watch it. I think it's on multiple streaming services.
It's an 80s college comedy, but it is far superior to pretty much any other 80s college comedy. I'd put it up there with Ghostbusters and Ferris Bueller on top-tier 80s comedies that still hold up.
every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

I don't know if GB holds up really. There is a lot of very 80s cringey womanizing
30 Years Later, Real Genius is Still the Geek Solidarity Film That Nerd Culture Deserves
Emily Asher-Perrin
It’s interesting to me that Revenge of the Nerds, while still full up of the nostalgia that the 80s lends us, is lately being repositioned in the zeitgeist. What was viewed for many years as a bit of harmless fun that waved the banner for nerds everywhere is finally being called out for exactly what it is; an Us vs Them revenge fest that never lets go of racism or misogyny, and damages the image of geek culture more than it applauds for it. That shouldn’t be surprising—RotN was always just a frat house comedy with a thin nerdy gloss applied to it. And that’s fine with me, because that was never my go-to movie for feeling the geeky solidarity.

I wonder if having a female director informed this movie in a way that makes it hold up

True. Venkman is a sleazebag. He was meant to be seen as a sleazebag then, but kind of a cute cuddly sleazebag. But that trope doesn't really fly anymore.
Real Genius has a little bit of womanizing, too. It's pretty mild, though. (Mostly just the Tanning Invitational scene.)

Or if it was just a bomber script
I think so? I admit that I've never seen any of her other films, but a couple of the retrospectives I've read on Real Genius establish her as a creative force.
While there was obviously a script to start with, Coolidge carries most of the responsibility for the film’s endearing success. Reading up on her career shows that she has always fought to avoid senseless nudity, to make female characters who are independent and who serve their own point and value.

Maybe in the next game he'll be able to tell fucking blue from purple.

It's in the first one. (Maybe the sequel too, I haven't seen the sequel in a long time.)
