[00:00:30] Why? It's a riotous rollercoaster of a screwball comedy. The Naked Gun, from the Files of Police Squad, premieres March 3rd on HBO, the best movie.

[00:01:32] Well, let's go. Was that Jeff Goldblum doing Christopher Walken? No, that was Christopher Walken doing... doing the Ramones. The Ramones, oh! Hey-ho! Shoot him in the back. Now! Hey-ho! Let's go. Lobotomy. Lobotomy. I don't want to be a pig head no more. Oh, yeah.

[00:02:00] I just met a nurse that I could go for. Now, I gotta tell you, I gotta... I believe I want to be today, then. By the way, guys, I faked every orgasm. Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Yes, but how'd you get in here? I'm a locksmith. I'm a locksmith. Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!

[00:02:48] late 90s, 2000s crowd are like, who is this guy? We love him. We'll see anything he's in. He's who we're going to if it's not Chris Farley. Anything except dead and living it. You guys didn't like that? I thought it was also okay. I was a little more depressed with his role in Reposessed. Yeah. Yeah.

[00:03:17] I can go with you on that one. I'm going to go with this though. You ever see the Space Terror parody he did? I forget the name. Oh yeah, 2001 The Space Odyssey. No, no, no. The creature wasn't released. That's what it was. The creature wasn't, yeah. Sorry. I got to thinking about what Naked Gun came from, which was Police Squad. Yes. which has the thing of you know

[00:03:47] six, we're going to just do six episodes of this show. You got, you know, the Zucker Brothers and Jim Abrams who, God bless him, just passed away. I was I was just like depressed. I was just like could we have timed this any worse? This is like I don't know for some reason I thought it was the Zucker Brothers that passed away but No. No, it was Abrams? Yeah. And all I remember is like just being like my mom said

[00:04:17] you know my mom and my dad we would watch Police Squad when I was a little kid because I loved it. I loved the I loved the psych gags and everything like that. and I got to find out later that it was based on two shows M Squad and Felony Squad Yes. And M Squad if you watch the beginning of M Squad it's the same like Yeah. Like the same opening as Police Squad you know Mm-hmm Including the

[00:04:46] Abraham Lincoln part? No, no not that Not that I know what you mean where it's just like that whole you know it's coming off the hills of other stuff like the Defenders and Dragnet Perry Mason it's trying to do that something important is happening right now It had a very late 60s early 70s type of feel to it Yeah. Yeah. I'm glad you brought up M Squad I mean there is definitely you know much like the Zuckers and Abram Hams

[00:05:16] you know do with all their airplane and other movie spoofs you know half the time they're not changing much they're literally taking every other thing and then just adding little other things you know it's like okay so if you don't laugh at the deadpan delivery of just this absurd dialogue you know then we're gonna still sneak into something else I mean I I I really had a lot of fun going for Police Squad it was a blind spot I had known about it

[00:06:06] dumped the summer repeats but and kudos to him like every opening is completely different it is always like what you know it gets you it's just like whoa what the hell happened and their guest stars die at the beginning of each episode yeah Shatner's one of them and he gets fucking blown you know poisoned and you're just like what the hell he gets poisoned I think Florence Henderson gets shot in her kitchen

[00:06:35] Lauren Green gets dumped out of a car dead George Stanford Brown I think gets like shot um who was uh oh there's so many others but oh there was another one I was like you know there were so many there were six total so yeah I'm trying to think who else I gotta sorry go ahead no um we also got taken into consideration at that point in time ABC was the network for comedy

[00:07:05] yeah that mid to late 70s into the early 80s they were doing they had a lot of things that they were working on whether it be something a sitcom like three's company or um little comedic sides with love boat or even fridays yeah just things they were doing ABC was the comedy mecca and understandably so they had they had just some they had blockbuster show after

[00:07:35] blockbuster show you went ABC specifically to get your laughs police squad came in at at a good time but and the reason why I think the reason why it's lasted so long is because it sneaks up on you but everything it was only six episodes so if you missed them you messed out but on the other side of the equation you have you have

[00:08:03] to be very careful you have to watch them very carefully because even if something serious is going on in the foreground in the background there's bound to be something bizarre it's not just stupid you know it's not just in your face what the hell you know yeah one thing stands out is like when they're carrying a dead body out of a building and those guys are standing there talking you're seeing this dead body being carried out for a long time it's just like a long line of that stretcher

[00:08:33] being carried out and then finally you're seeing the last guy at the other end of the stretcher coming out as they're going into the building yeah and then they're walking over the chalk prints like one's a body out and the other one's a hieroglyphic yes and then the positions of those chalk outlines like they'd be on the wall they'd be on the wall yeah in the water in front of you you're just like that's not how this works but that's funny go ahead

[00:09:02] I also have to say that the Wayans brothers got inspiration had to have gotten inspiration from police squad for the opening scenes from I'm going to get you sucka yeah probably I mean they watched a bit of everything they were before in Sanderson episode that you bring out terror in the neighborhood some people doing the trivia for this episode noticed that in her first scene

[00:09:32] there's an unlabeled bottle of cooking oil and they believe that's a nod to when she was a spokesperson for Wesson cooking oil yeah yeah but I love the lines in that episode when they're questioning the ballet dancer it was like she's talking to the suspect look out he's got a knife and look out he's got a sign Picasso wasn't that the girl from the Waltons or something or eight is enough it might have been her

[00:10:02] let's see who was Jill the ballet teacher Connie Needham yeah I think so she's from eight is enough eight is enough that's what I okay yeah all right and any relation to how you know they're giving them out of stunts I'm surprised how Needham didn't helm any episodes I gotta say though Joe Dante this was around the time when he was you know getting good with Spielberg and you know jumping on the wagon to a bigger career post new world pictures

[00:10:31] but I thought both his episodes that he helmed weren't weren't shabby at all including one where they're investigating a boxer and it's making fun of every other boxing drama yeah the scene where he's sitting on the bench and the guy's pasting on his fake injury you know yeah and it's just and I mean just again absurd I mean the Lauren Green episode was wild because the broken promise is just like just because that whole setup you're just like wait

[00:11:01] what there's a bank robber who shot a clerk and then another staff member shot him and the autopsy so differently and it just goes cuckoo cuckoo cuckoo and then they tested by killing other people yeah yeah this is like what the hell so shot so once shot twice no twice shot once so they did their own who's on first yep who's on first they do the who's on first then there's another gag they recycle for naked gun free where it's

[00:11:31] cigarette yes I know that ran through the naked gun which was is this some kind of bust so many of those I mean I'm surprised given how stuck up the ratings board always was that no one had a hissy fit over the part in one of the openings where someone gets

[00:12:00] set on fire it's so absurd and funny I just came out in 82 I can remember watching the show with my grandparents in the room and they just did not get it I wouldn't be surprised it is one of those I mean and Peter Lep is there you know Mission Impossible himself is here I'm

[00:12:33] well how about this Frank a free key for every three seconds would be a limited time offer only it's like the two conversations are so disjointed but when you're watching it you get the joke you know it's like he's thinking one thing he's thinking another but it's just the way the meshing of it is so good you know good timing good staging you don't feel like they're just relying on the comedic timing to carry it it's

[00:13:04] like everybody is getting how absurd it is and how you can't play it like you're in on it like you have to be oblivious that's what makes it amusing some of the other guests in the guilty alibi in the Shatner episode were also pretty wild there was Joyce Brothers as Dr. Joyce Brothers well the one that surprised me the most was Spencer Milligan the dad from Land of the Lost oh god oh yeah he was yep yeah yeah

[00:13:34] he was in there and Marvin Miller does really good as the narrator I think yeah it's just well and then and you bring up something like in every episode they had the guy who was the informant and so Drevin would go and ask him a question then somebody else like a clergyman or a priest or a Dick Clark Dick Clark shows up in one yeah who hasn't questioned the guy Tommy Lasorda Tommy Lasorda jeez this is crazy crazy crazy good

[00:14:04] um I can I can I can remember them like wanting to make the movie like they were gonna make the movie the naked gun from the files of police squad and I was going to myself oh man I hope this works well you know because it was so it was so you know it was just it was just such a this little part of time that that shows on six years later after the show comes out they're like are you sure you want to do this it's like yep they're pretty sure six years later

[00:14:33] and then the other films that followed were three years apart what was three I think it was two or three years apart two yeah it was two because the smell of was it two two would smell of fear smell through three years yeah 33 and a half yeah it's yeah you'll love this I was listening to Michael Rosenbaum's podcast and he interviewed that director Peter Siegel who and he did a total like 180 on his career you know he's been doing the my spy

[00:15:03] comedies with Christian Shaw and Batista but apparently the Zuckers they saw the HBO shorts he made back in the 90s and that's what got him the gig to do part free and he still looks at it as his best of all the wacky comedies he's done and at that time he was just basically just doing sizzle reels with Chris Farley Tom Arnold Jim Carrey he was in that knit group of people like had he just hung out there you also wouldn't have had Judd Apatow and some of the

[00:15:33] other guys get a career but it was interesting how all these no one really talks about that which is a shame they often just talk about whatever comedian was big in the 80s or 90s is like I'd like to know how all these other guys got all these different gigs and are still working on it today even if it's in the form of a sitcom like how did they embrace comedy movies other than just being the hired guns you know and same thing with the Zuckers you know it's like who would have and Abrahams who would have guessed that

[00:16:03] you know they'd go on to do even wackier movies and other National Lampoon co-productions and even Ghost of all things you know it's just like that's Hot Shots you know what a weird but wacky career you know I'm happy they did Hot Shots weren't they the guys behind Kentucky Fried Movie as well yes they were that was their first movie there you go that was the first movie they did if Mel Brooks wasn't doing it if the Wayans weren't doing it

[00:16:33] they were pretty much doing it from the 80s and 90s well you gotta think too they were that movie Kentucky Fried movies is to me like the blueprint for what Airplane would be and then they go to TV and they do you know Police Squad and then they do you know Hot Shots and they did Brain Donors too I think I think you're right when we looked it up it was like yeah

[00:17:02] it all runs together and that's just it like when you look at their resume it does make sense why they went on it like they were the only ones who were generating these amounts of laughs and they kind of cornered the market for a little while on that too for that type of humor yeah I could I can remember being like I'm like seven years I remember

[00:17:32] watching it and I remember my mother and my father laughing starkly and I would laugh that thing that that sort of that domino effect of laughter yeah and I hadn't seen it for a long time and A&E when they were good um um yeah they ran the six episodes for I think maybe a month or two um on their tv schedule on their tv schedule and then they had a thing on I think it was

[00:18:02] um trio tv called brilliant but cancelled yes and they ran it on that too you know but I mean the naked gun movies I think are funny I think the third one kind of it kind of slows at the third yeah you know that's actually my second favorite I found that part two kind of had a lot of filler and dead space I was getting a little bit depressed watching 33 and a third because so many people in that were passed away

[00:18:31] yeah even the people making brief appearances I mean I guess I was just blown away by the untouchables opening I'm just like wow you really just spoofed that entire carriage chase at the where he's picking up a quarter as he's shooting yeah it's like what in the hell I do think the first is the best though like you'll find this funny they've been showing it for the last few years a lot on MLB network

[00:19:01] oh yeah because it's in a stadium yeah and I'm just always fine I'm like it's got very little to do with baseball but I'll take it it's it's a gem I remember being in the movie theater watching my friend Humphrey and we were we were doubling over in laughter at the beginning when when they're doing the whole all the bad guys are meeting in the one room and he says I'm Frank drubbing the

[00:19:31] police squad I don't want to catch any of you guys ever coming into the US he falls you know he takes the thing off and it's a it's a you know one thing underneath it's it's Gorbachev he says huh I knew it was fake you know well you know and even Seth McFarlane's made you know on Family Guy has made fun of you know he's doing a parody of a parody with the police siren thing and then with that scene where

[00:20:00] Stewie's in there and he beats everybody up and then falls up well I wish the best for his whole thing and I hope it's not just let's imitate all the gags of the earlier movie well and he's supposed to be Frank Drebin Jr. but I'm thinking about it Frank Drebin Jr. was born in 94 so he should be 30 years old and it's gonna be Leslie Nielsen yeah they might be they might they might do like a like a timeline or they might make a joke about that and like say he smokes too many

[00:20:30] cigarettes probably yeah that that family guy clip where Stewie's going around and they were taking the naked gun theme that that was wild I think the thing that was scratched me up is like you can tell at some points when he's driving I just had my car washed and the guy's inside the car washing it while he's driving it oh yeah and every time he has to stop his car there's when he's doing that

[00:21:00] there's that one inept arrest and meanwhile like there's another car crashing in the background all this utter mayhem and I do recall even good times home video back when that was a thing would do you know funniest scenes from you know movies and tv and they would sneak a few naked gun scenes in there along with you know other stuff like you know family ties and even police squad and naked gun you know they're doing they're doing they're even

[00:21:39] just shove it in your face just let you realize yeah can you believe they still do this you know it's weird projection I think that was supposed to be like a thing because remember those cop shows back in the 60s they would put a screen in the back and run the footage as they were doing it

[00:22:09] section of town if you see the back it's like the coliseum and it's rolling yeah no I think honestly I think now that you mentioned it police squad probably got me the one that's interested in trying to pay attention to things like the backgrounds and the you know what's going on with background you know and I think that's just it like none they probably didn't even want to use it but they knew inevitably they were

[00:22:39] going to probably be asked to use it because budget and everything so if you don't like it you might as well mock it yeah and on the inverse of that you have to keep your cat to the actors themselves Alan North Leslie Nielsen they were able to keep straight faces while absolute chaos was going on behind them and you really so you have to pay attention but

[00:23:09] they really couldn't in order to get through the scene well you know every episode ended with a freeze frame but it wasn't quite a freeze frame that's right that's a good point too I mean who else could have done that very well you know it's just like you have to be so in on the joke but not on the nose if that makes sense like it's just and you see it now with movies nowadays and it's just like I get it but it's not funny because won't let it breathe you know

[00:23:39] and I was thinking about Leslie Nielsen too he was playing his own straight man yeah yeah he only had 20 years of already doing disaster movies and made for TV legal thrillers and being evil corporation guys and I know mystery science theater fans are already gonna go oh remember as the sleazy politician in City on Fire yes there's that but that's just it he's been doing it so he's already got a handle on it and it's just like he was there in the early days of television

[00:24:08] so you have to think he was doing all these straight edge roles he gets the role for airplane and he steals the he almost I think him and Peter Graves and Robert Stack steal the movie out from everybody they really do you know and and Lloyd Bridges you know Lloyd Bridges I mean the fact that these guys were all comfortable you know really does say a lot oh and kudos to him you know like again you know when people do stuff like this nowadays

[00:24:38] it's just too just like forced upon you where you're like okay it was funny but not anymore now that you're just breathing down my neck saying see what I did there see what I did there yes I saw it just fine well they still got a cat go ahead JJ no go ahead no I'm sorry man go ahead I was gonna say they still gotta capture I mean the spoofs that are coming out nowadays just they just don't have it they just don't have that magic we all love black dynamite here but see

[00:25:08] like that was its own kind of thing like it's like it it's a good double feature with some of the other black exploitation parodies but it's also its own thing this is kind of an action parody but it's more than just let's throw in a absurd stunt you know or explosion there's also

[00:25:38] I mean and Priscilla Presley bless her you know like who would have guessed you're gonna get the widow of Elvis and you're gonna put her in this movie and she's really solid for what she's doing like she's just playing off him and it's just even in the sultry moments of these like it it still is you know even though they're PG-13 movies they're not to the point of like it is kind of like Austin Powers like there's something for adults and there is something

[00:26:07] for the kids you know they can still guffaw you know it's it's not hard to decipher I forgot about Black Dynamite but I was thinking more along the lines because Black Dynamite was pretty good but I was thinking more along the lines like the date movie or the epic movie those two guys doing all the scary movie knockoffs were just insufferable I'm just like okay like the Zuckers even helped out in like I think part 3 and 4 scary movie but I was just no they did the first one

[00:26:36] they did the first one I think well there was one that has Charlie Sheen in it yeah but part 3 had Leslie Nielsen and I think that was Zuckers too that's the one that had Charlie Sheen right because I remember Leslie Nielsen being in that let's see Zuckers Brothers well it was a play they started out playing off of like Mel Gibson's Sign movie yeah okay scary movie free and 4 yeah okay yeah and the part I loved about that is when Karen Mannheim is like trying to describe

[00:27:06] what happened to his wife she gets okay let me put it this way see this hot dog this is your wife she brings up this is your wife now no that's that that is a deep cut like when just again all these lineups are just always just so outrageous where you're just like how did anyone even storyboard such absurdity you know and uh I mean all the other stuff that they'd done you know it's just like uh

[00:27:36] Ruthless People was a big cable TV favorite you know and uh he also worked on Basketball yes I totally spaced I people always go oh yeah one of the other movies the South Park guys worked on but David Zucker was one of those now uh it seems like they've been pretty cool other than that awful one of their final movies they did called American Carol I won't say any more about that I never saw that I did a political bent to it

[00:28:05] didn't I haven't seen it either yeah it it had it had a very political bent to it it was a lot like Christmas Carol but it was done with uh somebody who was who was a Michael Moore archetype yeah alright and it I I watched it I've seen it a few times um it's okay for what it is but being able to see like Robert Davi in a role that

[00:28:34] Dennis Hopper as a judge and you're like what the hell is going on yeah it was basically it was like a make a wish idea for for some conservative actors pretty much John Voight even freaking uh oh man uh James Woods yeah and Leslie Nielsen was in there also but yeah even even James's favorite Kevin Sorbo I went there um but yeah it was just like it was one of those where I'm just like

[00:29:04] so what are we making fun of like this if with a little more restructuring this could be an amusing like team America type movie and I'm just like hmm yes I like Kevin Farley and other stuff you know younger brother of Chris but I'm just like eh this just sounds breachy crappy yeah well I heard it had a political bent so I wasn't really interested in checking it out so yeah

[00:29:33] I mean we've seen other political satires be very funny I mean like like we mentioned team America where they're just making fun of hypocrisy and just other stupid stuff and what was that speech they gave dicks and assholes and pussies yeah pussies dicks and assholes yep making fun of patriotism and all that shit I mean that I get that that's all hard to do and uh I do have to say I mean I my hats are still

[00:30:03] off to the Zuckers though for wanting to start that whole show because they were filmmakers first and then they grew into hey what do we really like making fun of just very imperfect movies that Hollywood keeps producing so let's just go with it you know yeah well and I and I was thinking I kind of wondered if that was like the first spoof television show but it wasn't I mean you think about Get Smart was a spoof television show Get Smart was kind of the big big pinpoint yeah Captain Nice was a yeah

[00:30:33] there you go oh and how about the fact that I mean you mentioned Kentucky Fried Movie earlier people often space on Top Secret yes Top Secret vastly underrated great movie yeah totally I mean it has Peter Cushing in it yeah it does and some of the best and some of the best sight gags I have ever seen in my life the one with the with the

[00:31:02] magnifying glass and the telephone those those kill me every time oh man the one I love is Michael Goh saying I dug a tunnel out of here and he slides the rock away it's like a fully functional tunnel with like a highway going through yeah it's already dug up and right there and you're like what okay you know the scene with the car in the and the television show the scene where they're tearing the car apart then they got to put it back together and it looks like a completely different car

[00:31:35] my favorite part of that is like like Norbert taking the cocaine like getting addicted to him oh these guys are pretty good or to tear the whole car apart and find out that drugs are in the glove compartment oh my god yeah and every time that they do what they much like the hot shot movies I do have to say every villain in all these naked gun movies even if you don't remember them they do like to make fun of how they're gonna monologue

[00:32:05] and half the stuff they're monologuing is just so mundane you're like what it's like you killed time just to tell me that Ricardo Montalban is so he was very well staged yeah but he can't keep you can tell he's trying to he hears Leslie Nielsen and he's like Cuban no my mother was from Wales you know the whole thing with the pen and the fish oh yeah

[00:32:33] the Japanese fighting fish he's like you know and then Mr. Pap Schmier he showed up in two movies oh that's right yeah and I think the second one he dies in the second one no he dies in the third one oh he gets blown up yeah Pap Schmier um the thing that cracked me up the most is like if you watch if Leslie Nielsen had been doing

[00:33:03] television for a long time so you gotta realize you know he'd done comedy but he'd been playing like you know I can't remember being in uh how to commit marriage with Bob Hope and Leslie and uh Jackie Gleason which is a ugh uh bad bad career move um poor Jackie Mason lately we've been talking about Jackie Gleason Jackie Gleason was in that Jackie Gleason oh I got something with Leslie Nielsen that goes back to the 50s where he's on I think it was the 50s where he's on some sort of sci-fi

[00:33:32] old sci-fi show where he's on a spaceship you know and can't remember what it was called oh Forbidden Planet no that was the movie but he was in a but he was in a television show you know like the old 50s sci-fis where the cardboard sets and all that stuff oh god yeah yeah yeah yeah um let's look up sci-fi show but then you know and then he'd be on things in the 70s like uh Day of the Animal where he's calling everybody

[00:34:02] Day of the Animals oh my god or Columbo or yes doing like you see the Kojak episode where he's like ripping people off and then gets shot by someone he just robbed at an airport it's outrageous episodes there's wrongfully accused where he made fun of the fugitive among other things I'm trying to look up space show a space show

[00:34:31] like a 50s television show like you know the serial things huh was it buzz corbett I can't remember what it was called it's the only thing I can think of right now captain the captain video space patrol but I'm not that might have been it that might be it but I'm not seeing him on it let me see space patrol damn you IMDB no I think you got it I think it was space patrol okay

[00:35:01] yeah oh I'm seeing safety patrol wait no that was a different comedy he did for ABC that was wacky um we already talked about the creature wasn't nice but that was Perry but you're talking about here's the thing that cracks me up they tried doing a tv show like police squad on NBC called the last precinct yes yeah Adam West Ernie Hudson was there something called danger theater with Adam West

[00:35:30] was in one segment and then like Diedrich Vader was in another segment yeah that was later that was like 92 93 but yeah last precinct is 86 and but yeah it I mean they tried it with other stuff lately like I thought Andrew Trebekah was pretty good that last season that's that one with Felicia Rashad I was trying to remember the name of it uh you mean uh what's her name uh Rashida Jones yeah I'm sorry you're right yeah but yeah

[00:36:00] um it can be done I mean Psych definitely does a bunch of naked gun type send ups but yeah then there are other ones where you're just like okay it's just the mockumentary style doesn't really have much to do with anything uh yeah no I I I miss Leslie Sillson I I think we all would miss him I mean just because he was funny even off camera like I remember him having that little

[00:36:30] fart machine he always had with him he would always carry a little fart machine with him I did so if he was doing an interview he would start he would start like pressing this fart machine and he would be like excuse me excuse me you know something like that and the fact that he was deaf yeah he had hearing aids all the time and so you would have thought that might be I don't want to say shame or anything but you would have thought there would be

[00:37:00] like some miscommunication or mishearing of lines but yeah no he he read everything and just knew how he wanted to sound and he played Mr. Magoo yeah so he had to play blind did you ever see the one interview he gives where he talked about how he often played jokes golf and he's like I have no goals or ambition I do however wish to work enough to maintain whatever celebrity status I have

[00:37:30] so they will continue to invite me to golf tournaments well Naked Gun gave him a resurgence in his career he kind of leaned on the comedy part more yeah he apparently had a biography called The Naked Truth book oh yes and I kid you not I did used to see some of his infamous golfing tapes at used bookstores I was like of course if you're gonna have

[00:37:59] anyone teach you about how to golf why not Leslie Nilsson Leslie Nilsson and Tim Conway and Dorf on oh god Tim Conway had a show Ace Crawford Private Eye yes I have a vague memory of that but I don't think I ever caught any episodes not too many others did either yeah so riddle me this is he the best or the worst ship captain in Poseidon Adventure

[00:38:31] he's the worst this is so funny people defending it because they love him as an actor it's like well everybody's kind of incompetent except for Gene Hackman but like I'm just watching I'm like I can imagine Frank Drebin being on you know like being a ship's captain captain that's a 30 foot uh don't worry I think we can handle it yeah

[00:39:02] that reminds me of the clip I sent with uh Nate with uh him you know in Star Wars yeah that made that yeah oh my god there was this one stupid Leslie Nilsson movie I used to have on tape that got released under a few different names it was like something revenge and it it's only it's not much of a movie it's totally

[00:39:32] an antenna channel type movie or mystery science theater Elvira worthy movie but you should just see it just for him attempting to do kung fu oh my god it might be institute for revenge or something I it's one of those cheapy cheapy cheapies that got syndicated and you're just like what the hell is going on well I mean he never here's the thing I mean I never really remember him being on Saturday Night Live

[00:40:03] a few times and one time and then that was it but every time the Naked Gun would come out I remember the last Naked Gun movie that came out was 94 so when it came out on video later that year they had the poster up where I was living at the time there was a place called video den so video den had the poster and of course OJ's picture is on the poster they took little pieces of black tape and put it on

[00:40:33] OJ's books yeah oh my god oh okay I found it project kill oh my god a former government assassin flees a mind control program in the philippines pursued by his ex-partner the local police and Asian gangsters it's on Tubi and Plex if you want to watch it co-stars Gary Lockwood and Nancy Kwan I'm not making this up Nancy Kwan

[00:41:03] maybe it's one of those just goofy movies just watch it make your own commentary it's oh now we can try to kill those or that bitch no oh man I love the I love them the airplane though airplane he was just like he's on fire I mean airplane just gives the lines it's just like

[00:41:33] a hospital wasn't it's a big brick brick building with a lot of sick people but that's not important right now yeah it's not important right now that's what I love too it's just making fun of cliches all these movies they've seen are probably noteworthy for having awful subplots and stories that don't go anywhere so it's just so funny seeing a hero in a spoof movie just say something like that oh by the way that's not important right now

[00:42:02] I can't remember his dialogue but my wife tends to bring this up with me whenever I use the word Shirley like Shirley you're you're kidding or something like that I am serious and don't call me Shirley anytime I see someone's hand shaking I'm like you got a drinking problem I just want you to know good luck we're all counting on you I love the part which is the

[00:42:32] the captain of the pilot are fine and they have gone on to lives of spiritual fulfillment what you know you take a big chance getting up in the morning crossing the street or sticking your face in the fan oh lord point in saying what's your favorite

[00:43:01] skit because like there's so much where would you go like the whole movie is one big skit I still love the line it

[00:43:33] one and two three I'm not that big on because there's a lot of you know stuff they kind of like threw in you know what's your it wasn't as well thought out I don't think no and you had people like Anna Nicole really couldn't deliver kind of on that kind of well true yeah no yeah but but I was talking earlier like Anna Nicole Smith you know there's so many people that died some of them died too young like Anna Nicole Smith Shannon Doherty had a cameo in it she died recently but then you had

[00:44:03] like James Earl Jones and Raquel Welch they passed away recently as well my favorite cameo in any of those movies is the police car pulls the car over and Zsa Jacob comes out and slaps the thing that was one of their opening that's one of their opening police squad car shots yep I love that every fucking time I go shopping oh Jesus which one does OJ get electrocuted in and then uh one okay so one

[00:44:33] but I love how he's just like oh not the paint it's like the paint is the least horrible well yeah he's like getting all he's getting all moved around and everything he bumps in the paint he goes oh no uh OJ he's being shot but the paint really bugs him I gotta say OJ's a good actor he fooled everybody I fooled everybody except for a jury oh too soon oh

[00:45:02] Johnny Cochran was like Johnny Cochran was like Bud Abbott and I was like Lou Costello there's a scene where he jumps in on these guys I don't remember which naked gun it was but he jumps in with a gun and all these guys had their guns out and pointed at him and he says drop your weapons and one of them drops her weapons and they all look at him like he's nuts you know what's great

[00:45:32] about those naked gun movies I got the idea of wearing all the black stuff no one can see you in the dark if you got a mask on OG you're going too far have another drink no no I got a bed ride you know Juice if I were you I'd go back

[00:46:06] no now what okay so please or naked gun 33 and a third came out in 94 when was this whole thing when did what year did that whole thing with OJ happen 94 94 so that's why it's so awkward when the VHS material is coming out and he's in the publicity material because because I can remember that night that highway chase Nicole and Ron I'm watching game

[00:46:35] six of the NBA finals the Knicks versus the Rockets and what happens they cut to this chase so I'm here and asking

[00:47:05] OJ and he looks scared and Al Michaels is there right and Al Michaels knows this is a fake phone call like two seconds into it he's like well I'm very intense right now with what's going on and I'm literally just like I'm I'm I'm I had a sprained ankle so I'm literally like you're just laughing and somebody cranking into freaking ABC news right now

[00:47:35] you have to watch this so at the end of game goes and baba boo to you all and Al Michaels I I I I Peter I think that was a cranked phone call by somebody because the last sentence he said was a was a you know allusion to a certain disc jockey that is on the air right now okay thank you I we'll interviewed on Stern later

[00:48:05] I've been to OJ's house there's no butches in front of his house you know oh lord and that's just again when life imitates art and yeah I mean Stern you know it's not the first time that he does a prank call and everyone thinks it's the real person you're just like oh tell me you're stupid without telling me how inept you really are it's like really you thought that was the real person fine I

[00:48:39] later the guy that played that character in the TV show he didn't do it but I didn't know why exactly you know the I can't remember the actor's name Alan North Alan North yeah and I wondered why he wasn't in it I didn't know I'm just kidding he was in a different kind of naked wow wow I'm Peter North and this is little Peter North I actually showed my wife my naked Peter

[00:49:10] but at the time she didn't know it was my naked Peter from Family Guy figure I was going to say I went to took out my Peter once and I got beat up by a giant chicken well did Peter take that chicken I took my Peter out one time and all you say is this I

[00:49:40] can't say it to this day I still can't believe Peter Graves James Arnest are brothers you know I can't believe that since then would you ask for anything else are they full blooded brothers I mean I know

[00:50:10] they're brothers but are they full blooded brothers I wonder yeah they are I think they're full blooded yeah because I think Peter's the younger James well yeah I was hoping for someone to sing forwarder I'm sorry I don't sing I'm American I

[00:50:41] love that scene in Mr. Science Theater's werewolf where you got the groundskeeper I'm gonna join the you know Dracula was a faggot oh man I just watched that the other day they were on the turkey marathon did you really all right almost this Richard Lynch for all the movies that he made this is the most subtle yeah great great actor seven ups you know this is the most subtle

[00:51:10] performance ever he's not even being the bad bad guy he's just the scientist who wants to take the guy and study him the real bad guy is the guy who's like the word order her her her her her her movie was he in the one with the giant ship

[00:51:41] oh shit who are you playing that he's one of the bear chested dudes seen him in other things but I can't think of what yeah but yeah he's another one of those guys you look at his credits it's just like direct video then tello novellas then real lobo and just like what what what a weird ass career and again that that crazy hairdo that changes in between shots

[00:52:11] oh werewolf a werewolf i love how this became a mystery science theory podcast werewolf oh man um i'm surprised leslie nilson didn't do a host segment like on or a promo for some of those kinds of shows like elvira and what have you be perfect i okay now i i'm

[00:52:41] mistaken he's not in herzog but he's in a bunch of popular westerns like the last hard man and okay so mistaken but that's the other thing too like a lot of these guys were legit for a while and then it's like you see him in just movies where you're just like how'd you get here again well i mean you know martin sheen's brother yeah joe estevez still friends trying to get back on here one day oh if you got him back on here i would flip out because i know i know he dubbed

[00:53:11] some of his brother's dialogue in apocrylips we can close the chapter and be like okay so which scenes besides the trailer did you dub yeah oh but um yeah i i mean the naked gun was is like subtle sight gags and out and out you know gut busting humor you know that's the way you gotta bounce it out you know and you couldn't take your eyes off of it yeah 70 to 90 minutes

[00:53:40] have a score that reminds you it's absurd you know da da da da da da da you know it just oh how about whenever they do those you know like amazing stunts and stuff you can very clearly tell that they you know they they substituted in someone else wearing a white wig or something yeah yes but see that's where it gets even funnier you know it's like we're not looking for that in an absurd movie you know that if anything that only makes it more charming you know

[00:54:10] oh there you know and then there's a scene where ricardo montabon's in the stadium and he's taking priscilla presley presley up the stairs yes and it cuts to a dummy and you can very clearly very obviously tell that it's a dummy because he's shaking that thing all over the place and the arms are just and put that in there you know the naked absurdity see what we did there

[00:54:42] but I mean because this is it like nothing is left untouched you know just and I've lost track of how many times when people are in a an chat and someone proceeds to use the multiple face palms gif yeah this is like I'm done now with a few bitmojis you know you've really screwed up

[00:55:12] everybody's giving you the face palm I think the thing I love the most is like when he's calling the game and he just goes like strike yeah I like the question strike right and then he starts getting into it and starts dancing all over the place whatever scenario it's in you know whether it's a music hall stadium or I forget where part two concludes but it's also wacky it's like

[00:55:42] it's always just an environment to where you're gonna get even more absurd it's just Jesus you've been swimming swimming in raw sewage yeah and I love it oh my god oh how about when he gets out of the car and there's all that all those cashews and not cashews that's it him and George can they have like their lips are all red and they walk out

[00:56:12] he opens the doors like a mound of them all over he has to shove the door to get out yeah I love it and George Kennedy is like what in the hell's name yeah so I had no idea I didn't know that he fought for that role was he just tired of doing all those awful TV and disaster movies I think he just wanted to cut loose I think you know because he'd seen what he'd done for Leslie Nielsen and you know Robert Stack and all them you know how they were taking this you know how they just did this one movie

[00:56:41] airplane oh yeah I'll do that that's no problem you just gotta let me you know here he was an Oscar winner yeah and he was doing comedy you know oh good stuff good stuff oh oh man well then I remember the third one the scene where like they see they're in a bunker looking at

[00:57:11] the explosion going off and Fred Ward's characters make it sounds like he's like Beavis and Butthead or something no I love I love it when the guy crashes into the fireworks factory and like he's like go away there's nothing to see all the stuff's going off in the air you know there's nothing to see here isn't that the first movie is like they got some guy with a bullhorn he's a cop but he's saying you know and there's like only two

[00:57:41] people out there there's only two people there yeah this is like this is the most inept understaffed station ever and I love that they got John Hausman right before he died as the driving instructor now Stephanie this man has cut you off I want you to look at him put your arm out make a fist and extend your middle finger all right Stephanie

[00:58:11] gently extend your arm extend your middle finger very good well done oh man oh man is right and well you know and then when he's is it when he's retiring where he does the line you know just think next time I shoot someone I could be arrested wouldn't it be funny if a real live criminal said that it was like

[00:58:41] oh the more history repeats itself you know what's so funny Anthony James you remember him from he played the creepy limo driver in burnt offerings remember he's always Anthony James he's in that movie right and he plays I definitely have seen him in the Buck Rogers episode yeah so he's in the naked gun right and she's singing this song like memory

[00:59:10] he goes memory he's the bad guy that's going into Priscilla President's house right yep and I literally started laughing because there's this guy who was like always like playing like creeps and you know he was great in Vanishing Point where he played like two of the two like he played this creepy guy with the other guy you know and like here he is like you know you see him you start laughing hysterically and he starts singing I remember him from Blue Thunder yeah I saw him as far back as like

[00:59:40] early 70s in a movie called The Teacher where the guy where the kid who the kid who played Dennis the Menace was in that day north teenager yeah you might remember him from that one season one next gen episode but yeah he now that you're bringing him up I have seen him I just didn't I didn't know the name but man I am I am seeing a good chunk of his stuff much like Leslie Nielsen ironically he isn't in a lot of stuff that Crown International Pictures puts out they must have just had those

[01:00:10] all these genre actors are going to be in our driving movies he kind of reminded me of Reggie Nadler a little bit you know that face that just gave you you saw him do something like that you were hysterical funny here's this guy he was shedding a tear even for those that don't know Reggie Nadler you would know as vampire Kurt Barlow in Salem's lot

[01:00:49] I'm just boy's throat you want him to do that father don't chill put the cross down and let the boy go you're quoting from Salem's lot aren't you what you're quoting from Salem's lot yeah yeah yeah yeah I've I have watched that movie incessantly and all I'm going to say this right now is the more I look at Kurt Barlow the more I can only think to myself is that there's a picture I

[01:01:19] have of Reggie Nadler with like a gold medallion and a chain from the 70s it's a picture of him with some friends at a somebody's house he's wearing a gold chain on with a button down shirt unbuttoned a little bit that guy scared the shit out of me as a kid I bet do I know in the tea tree played a bad guy oh yeah he was a psychotic guy wow wow

[01:01:49] and on a side note I would not recommend going to Salem Dew's car lot watch no no if you like a car the master would like you to have a car right master yes this sport this 74 pinto this 74 Lincoln Continental guaranteed safe at any speed right Mr. Barlow right here's like a Salem's used lot used auto car you'll have the best car from

[01:02:19] foreign to domestic of course since you mentioned the master you also had to bring up the master would like you to have 4.5% interest on this loan torgo's used car lot torgo torgo how much for this for the 75 for the 75 station ranger that would be about $3,000 but he can't

[01:02:49] have it I have to have it but you can't have it you will have to leave a lot it will be dark soon the master doesn't like these kinds of cars only ones with pizza in them I love that music I'm torgo and I have a used car lot now

[01:03:18] it's a nice car lot it's on the corner of Ocienia and Buchanan you can come here whenever you want the girls will take care of graves and I go to turgo used car lot yes the

[01:03:48] master enjoys the fact that he comes here my brothers will be coming a lot more places because I'm Peter graves and I'm horny as hell coming doesn't it I preach should be righteous thy ceremony holy thy sales are up this year because we have followed the rules from the short hired

[01:04:19] no need forget to be the gray before he became the white he was already gray AF I was reading about that that guy I think that guy killed himself before the movie yeah he was just the reason everyone we made fun of how he was walking but he really was in terrible pain he was supposed to make satyrs knees but he had him on the wrong

[01:04:49] way now you're making me wish Leslie Nilsen was in monos because as we know Leslie Nilsen makes everything better he's just I really don't know why he's so good at it but other than again he's classically trained and because he plays the straight I know he played straight and everything but like even then to still still the show and even the most stupidest random role is

[01:05:19] like cast him in anything it works he's a counselor he's a president he's a chief of security he's a bad cop in the loose he's a womanizing thief yeah it doesn't matter it makes sense he's Leslie Nilsen and he's looked the same way for all his career and somehow it works the fact in the second when Robert Goulet played the villain Robert Goulet I'm Robert Goulet

[01:05:50] I would leave you you know is he one of the special guest stars in one of the episodes yeah so there you go it was a callback I I missed that well Florence Henderson was also you know she shows up in the third one I think so and yeah and she's in an episode yeah right as one of the guests that dies yep James Belushi

[01:06:19] was gonna do one what and they they stopped it because it was something where he was like you know he overdosed like the thing was he like dies or something like that and I think they had to put something else in I always heard that rumor you know wow she's gonna be a special guest star yeah yeah tonight's guest star John okay so on the lost media Wicca apparently they filmed a scene with him but they cut it due to

[01:06:49] his death yeah and yeah he would have been again one of the other special guest stars and I guess they were like hmm let's let's just not yeah so they 86 that so they replaced him with William Conrad that that was

[01:07:21] he was on life support doctors say he's got a 50-50 chance of living though there's a 10% chance of that yeah where is Nurburgrid he's at Our Lady of the Worthless Miracle general Custer once said I got a chance General Custer General Custer there's 5000 of us and there's

[01:07:51] 300 of us and like 5000 of them what are we gonna do well we're gonna we're gonna go down aren't we America yeah you're gonna go down there I'm gonna see I found out Custer in the battle little big horn this is so weird he told most of the army to stay back while the rest of them were like you know they were gonna try to take on the Indians seriously the Indians are just going yeah

[01:08:20] we'll be out of here by like I don't know 1230 I knew he had a big head on top of those shoulders I didn't realize it was that bad what's that Dustin Hoffman movie where he takes on Little Big Man Little Big Man Little Big Man yeah and what's that guy from Empty Nest he plays Custer Richard Mulligan Richard Mulligan Richard Mulligan the best George I think that's how George Custer was in real life just an arrogant son of a

[01:08:50] bitch vain vain so I'm gonna wipe out the yeah you try doing that buddy you know you had it coming to you butts you know don't go what do

[01:09:22] you say well he said you know that you're up shit creek without a paddle I think we got a chance I think we're good I'll pretend that what you translated was alternative facts let's go man let's go you know I'm trying to think like even bringing up Richard Mulligan he would have probably been someone

[01:10:06] for a show that's safe for the family but funny enough to help you escape everyday life then listen to the Florida men on Florida man podcast that's Florida men plural on Florida man podcast hey it's

[01:10:36] breakfast wrecks and booty debates most of all you get the most delightful 30 minutes of your week so dig in it's breakfast time listen at breakfast dot com apple podcasts or wherever fine podcasts are found I mean I would have been fine had it even been Robert Stagg and some of the other serious guys they probably wouldn't have done it because they were just so sick of all those laughable premises even if they were

[01:11:09] I'm sorry I was just going to say he showed his chops with airplane so they were pretty confident with him going into I'm sure no doubt yeah and so don't you just love how freaking police squad comes out in that same year TJ hooker also comes out but it's not in on the

[01:11:47] yeah exactly no don't get me wrong I watched every episode but it's just he's at the police academy first then he goes off to like you know he started out at Starfleet and then he goes to the police academy oh my god the episode where he's arresting Leonard Desmoye who's like a former cop going vigilante is so funny it is impossible to watch it without having your own commentary it's like what

[01:12:16] what's going on here I'm going to have to put you down you damn fool that's what they like to call stunt casting that was total stunt casting too bad everybody was playing it straight I'm watching that episode I'm watching the episode with Leonard Neymar I'm like this sucks it was so bad but it was so funny they're making jokes in the back of the car and go come on get on the enterprise bridge and do something

[01:12:47] every other la actor model future procedural tv stars on it and you're just like they're going to get tackled over the hood of a car in 40 minutes aren't they yep sure enough captain if I may say so 17 years from now we're going to spock no that's not true that can't be possible did you go to the city of

[01:13:17] forever to the guardian of time no captain I just saw our careers flashed before my eyes and didn't even look interesting you're going to be surrounded by a beautiful model we'll call her letter lock layer and you're going to have the bailiff from night court be the captain can I just say one thing that was the first time I think in the in the universe and Heather Thomas and Heather Lock were on the same channel all together

[01:13:46] I'm always getting those two mixed up yeah that's a good point yeah that's the anti-matter matter of the of tv hot of tv two heathers are better than one question yeah yeah oh lord god i can remember watching that show my grandma used to watch tj hooker all the time hooker tries to find hooker who's a hooker

[01:14:17] i made fun of that too i was just like i remember once doing that to my parents this is an april fool's joke just showing them the theme song and they're like i feel like i just died inside oh man i i went down a rabbit hole because i was kind of curious as to what would be considered the first first parody film yeah and i found something from 1905 called the

[01:14:46] little train robbery a little train robbery a so now i'm gonna have to try to see if can find that on youtube and it made me think of you know bugsy with scott baio bugsy malone oh my god it would have been a

[01:15:16] silent film i would think and we talked about the little train robbery that made me think oh god whoever came up with that with the premise for that movie was either a real weird guy that wasn't children though that was midgets though wasn't it it was who was in it again and how many were from wizard of oz i i would say

[01:15:46] all i can remember is that it was supposed to be shown in 70 millimeter but they could only show it in like 12 and a quarter millimeter is not even close in one scene there's a great there's a great there's a great chase what happens well they're on ponies and they run through the oh oh that's that's not what we want yeah no

[01:16:17] and it yeah yeah i mean i'm not quite body humor not quite body but they're funny i mean i love carry on cleo that's one of my favorite ones you know carry on camping

[01:16:47] and carry on girls those are my favorites because i got to see all those girls running around skippy clothes carry on luggage and one that's very popular in Kansas carry on my wayward son now we're getting into supernatural the only other actor i can think of who would have been perfect to be in a straight face parody role

[01:17:17] might have been around this time might have been robert ulrich oh yeah yeah i could have seen him doing that because he i mean just seeing him in all these other interviews and how he always jokes about what beautiful people he was playing off of and keeping it together in very dramatic scenes it's like he does come off as the kind

[01:17:55] yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah oh yes she embarrasses herself quite a lot there you know and i'm thinking you know with the new naked gun that's coming out we're going from leslie nielsen to liam neeson oh and i will say that if they do not include a scene that ripped off taken i'm going to be sorely disappointed well yeah i think liam neeson can carry it off oh he does have a great

[01:18:25] especially after all his previous collaborations with seth but even though they were all cameos it's like yeah it he's willing to do it he's at that stage of his career i mean just he's basically this generation is charles bronson now and charles bronson had his share of hey i can do a comedic western i can do uh oh come on from from noon to three is great to watch yeah that's what i'm referencing yeah yeah uh yeah you can't win them all was

[01:18:55] another one where he even though it's an action movie he's just playing it up camping it up the whole time it's just ask these actors the right way and let them gain their trust they will do anything for you i always say let them let them be funny if they can be funny if they can't be funny some of your favorite dramatic actors are class clowns behind the scenes well i can see yeah i can assume liam liam neeson doing the delivery just the way that uh leslie nielsen does you know very

[01:19:25] deadpan i've i've heard i've heard it all just about i've heard how mandy patinkin would do pranks behind the scenes i hear mariska de is a prankster you would never know it from the on-screen persona i hear during the making of a history of violence uh vigo morrison for whatever reason just could not stop laughing so ed harris just decided to drop his pants it's like is this funny now what are we doing here well the

[01:19:55] thing i said about leslie nielsen is that he did you know a million ways to die in the west and that's liam liam i would love to have seen lovely nielsen and more westerns i know what you mean yeah that was fun he's in ted 2 is that one bruised up guy who keeps buying stuff late at night at the store yeah i'm not i'm not sure he was the one who actually got the flower in his butt he had to use a stunt double for that i'm sure oh yeah what we just got an x huh

[01:20:25] but when he huh what what what happened meanwhile back at the podcast i don't know if you're intentionally doing a dramatic here's a guy who doesn't know where the podcast is going okay uh-huh hi thanks timmy we're going to talk about that here and then maybe talk about some of the other movies and you bring it around to nelson

[01:20:54] and talking about liam neeson who said i don't know who you are i'm a wizard baby i sound like sean connery on the phone right now so if they mentioned liam neeson for the new movie but who would like play the other parts um i saw all kinds of names thrown out and it we're gonna get it later this year in 2025 so just in time but yeah i was looking at it as like jesus everybody's in this damn thing

[01:21:24] hold on i'm gonna look now do you think it's gonna be rated r no they'll they'll try to keep a pg-13 team i'm sure yeah yeah i was surprised if michael kane didn't pop up that hello i'm michael kane i was retired but i'm back here already good lord miss norberg i think we can save your husband's arm where would you like it sent all right

[01:21:54] so here's what you got in there you've got pamela anderson yeah i saw him paul walter hauser evan duran danny houston liza koshy cc cody rhodes cch pounder and buster rhymes was pam anderson being a love interest then for liam neeson or something yeah priscilla presley character i think she's gonna just be a cameo or a witness as herself no

[01:22:24] really no i don't know man whatever hey it's a spoof movie it doesn't matter well and you think about like the name with the naked gun movies you had one two and three you had leslie neoson with a relationship with priscilla presley's character and it carried out through each film it wasn't like she was replaced in the next one which i thought was kind of interesting yeah because you know how like they go into a sequel movie and then the one that he

[01:22:54] was caring about so much in the first one is gone yeah yeah one of the james bond trope it's like whatever happened previously is inconsequential still looking to see what they got here but yeah yeah they got a lot of good they got some good people now but i i guarantee you danny houston's gonna be the bad guy he's just always the bad guy well what's

[01:23:23] who's that one guy that's in orville with the red beard and red hair scott grimes from yeah yeah yeah because he's done numerous voiceovers for family guys so yeah i'm sure family guy american dad yeah he's starting all the movies that uh that seth mcferlund is put out well that's the great thing about scott grimes is i remember him being in like critters

[01:23:52] when he was a kid yeah just a boy is he the brother that's in uh don't tell mom the babysitter's dead no that's somebody else i thought it was him for some reason keith coogan that's keith coogan in fact i was friends with keith coogan on facebook before my thing got hacked so there's a picture of him and scott grimes and i'm like ah finally

[01:24:23] keith and scott in the same room together we know who they are in the same movie together for the first time ever yeah who do you think busta rhymes is gonna be one of the bad guys or just a random thug he arrests he might be a cop no don't laugh remember tone look was a cop in uh yeah that show um ace ventura yeah that's true that might be what it's a reference it might be just in general

[01:24:52] if they're not a bad guy they're playing a cop just rappers well who's the who's the one who's on a tv show with the guy who played uh ice tea ice tea okay i can't remember the name of the tv show but law and order law and order svu well and remember i see you i see remember remember he was also on uh new york undercover yeah he makes it

[01:25:22] he makes us he makes a song called cop killer and yet he's you know yet he's playing a cop what do you know it's just so ironic how that song was satirical and yet yeah it's just a song everybody was going nuts and i'm like i'm like sitting there i'm like i heard not promoting violence he's just saying something wacky that'll happen when you have a homie who's not too keen on you hunting his brother you know it's just yeah but fortunately we're in the 2020s now not not the 90s

[01:25:51] where everything must be boycotted yeah unfortunately well yeah i don't think the humor can bite as hard as it used to with the way things are now there are still unfortunately i mean i take that back deadpool was pretty good i thought oh deadpool that's a good example that it's like it's there it's like you somehow have to twist it in a way to where you make all the morons go

[01:26:21] in the opposite direction like where they they just they check out they go i'm out i don't know what's going on so they don't open their stupid mouse you know and all the people who do get it they they they re-watch it they love it they they can keep quoting it explaining the joke and why it works but unfortunately it seems like it's just i i just blame marketing nowadays because how

[01:26:50] well name the last five movies you've seen and then ask yourself if the ad really told you what it was really all about or if it just showed a random scene with no context coming soon you know i'm telling whenever i try to check out uh movie trailers on like fandango at home they're not trailers they're clips from the movie they're just like netflix yeah like okay and it's always the most awkward scene where you're like i don't know what that's about i guess that's well acted

[01:27:20] what is that really about again and now that i think about it you know deadpool's kind of like the superhero equivalent of naked gun in a way yeah yeah yeah very much so you know you have to pay attention to what's going on and you gotta have a cowboy in it bro yeah of course it's like a the the scene i i cracked up and howling in the in the theater when i when i saw

[01:27:50] deadpool wolverine um i've talked about this before but when they were coming out and doing a slow motion scene in the background it's life like a prayer like a prayer yeah no not like a prayer it's life elves only feet oh oh yeah you're talking about a sign in the background yes yeah that i was the only one in the theater who got it well we must not have been in the theater at the same time then what's the sign

[01:28:20] says in the back what it says only feet life because life he can't really draw feet very well oh okay oh i okay yeah yeah i remember seeing that yeah he can't do feet that well when he's drawing shit yeah i remember that yeah yeah well mine was i i loved the scene where you know chris evans shows up and everybody's all expecting captain america and i'm i'm like and then he pops out goes flame on

[01:28:50] and i'm like i should have seen that coming i think the one thing is that it parodies itself and you know that you know we're all looking at we're all reynolds was in on the joke with us like doing all this shit for these movies like you know you know like the part i love just like you know they can't get the real cast that you'd be too expensive and the door opens up and there's the cast of x-men yeah the door again in the background yeah and that was is that is that

[01:29:20] the second one that was the second one uh yep it was the second one yeah and then i think the i love the beginning of the first you know we're trying to get another superhero with the name pulverine rhymes with the name pulverine that's right i just started watching the first one and the second one again so i can watch the third one because i watched the first and the second one on cable when i had cable so i was

[01:29:49] like watching that when i was home and i was i was on the floor doubled over in laughter with like all the jokes and stuff yeah i would say that if you even remotely remember the the pre mcu the the fox movies you will get you will get a lot more out of it yeah yeah it's sort of a swan song to those fox marvel movies yeah basically yeah what was it was

[01:30:19] x-men x-men x-men 2 x-men x-men x-men the last stand yeah fantastic four fantastic four right to the silver surfer uh venum 1 2 and 3 electra daredevil um punisher punisher yes was venom uh sony oh sony okay yeah yeah i thought there was one other fox movie well then there was fantastic

[01:30:48] four 2015 ghost rider was uh sony sony sony all right yeah yeah but yeah it was for a while it's just like so when you ask people was it good was it bad you you never got a consistent like take it was always like well i like the comic i'm like that's not what i asked you did you did you recommend the movie do i have to read the comic to get the movie

[01:31:19] well yeah those movies didn't do the comics i mean didn't do justice to the characters i would say for the most part yeah x-men did all right but they still didn't really do justice to the character i'm glad we're having the brian singer talk because for a while people would go oh the filmmaker the guy who's the last credited one is running the show it's like well not always in this case he had a good crew and he was doing jack shit well i just i remember things like

[01:31:48] uh the character sprite played by elliot page but was ellen page then um and they gave and they gave her character was it kitty well it wasn't kitty kitty pride okay she had so she had a few different names i was remembering like her first when they called her sprite or whatever well and all the toxic behavior same deal it's like good effects like it or hated story and then you got brett ratner misbehaving again but she did but but her character didn't have i mean they gave her powers that she didn't have in the comics at

[01:32:18] all it's like okay they even established her as a girl that's walking through walls and stuff and then in the next movie she's got these total time travel type powers that make no sense it's like where did that come from you know i mean the i mean you know x-men apocalypse i liked because to me that was you know that was i apocles was the one i mean just i don't know the overreacting and

[01:32:47] that and dark phoenix just really killed it for me i was just like okay dark phoenix kind of disappeared and it was like it came and went pretty quick no one was proud of it and then don't get me started on the the new mutants where you're just like okay so this was originally rated r antonio bandera's even filmed the key segment and it's been re-edited disney just took over fox doesn't even want to acknowledge it they're just like let it die show it out there and watch it die

[01:33:16] but i think you'd think they'd be wanting to cash it in you know especially when sony and fox were playing these tricks for a while it's like why do you just dump these movies and pretend they don't exist and let's say that the new the new mutants movie was originally supposed to be a horror movie yeah but i think that but it didn't i didn't see the i didn't see the connection when actually when i saw the final product and i just seeing some of the things

[01:33:46] that they talked about it was like how do you make a mutant movie into a horror movie without without right without messing messing up the entire reason why they're there well yeah they're not they're not just we're not just five or six random people throwing together because they're weird it's because they're not they're not gonna play the typical horror i know characters they're they're

[01:34:16] going to be vastly more powerful and able to you throw a freddie or jason m those guys are gonna smoke them i found uh that new mutants movie to be a little too uh meandering it it didn't too many cooks yeah yeah it didn't gel very well who who helmed it the editor the studio or the filmmaker yes just it's just like

[01:34:47] i would hate to take a step forward all right y'all take a step forward you can all do this movie i mean i can remember watching x-men wolverine x-men origins wolverine oh yeah oh the deadpool scene in that oh my god yeah it just felt like a very incomplete movie when i saw it i'm like there's some fun moments but who is this for is this for a rambo crowd because it's not much of an x-men movie but then to watch deadpool 2

[01:35:16] with the end credits and him just writing the wrong of what happened he's like he's like i know there's gonna be a time you're gonna hang up the claws well where he comes in and shoots that other deadpool yeah yeah and then when he kills green lantern or brian rattle this is the greatest scripted written thank you canada

[01:35:46] and i will tell you you know this weekend because i watched naked gun tv show in the movies i'm gonna pull out my sledgehammer dvds and watch them now yes i think it's what's his name david raich is that it david raich and harrison page yeah i remember watching those shows and they did it where he blew up the city in the last one and then they retconned everything for the second season yeah yeah

[01:36:17] we can't go that far trust me i know what i'm doing i'm doing it all goes back to naked gun well it actually had a second year which surprised me i didn't think it was gonna have a second year when it yeah sledgehammer they even had a comic book made from that wow all right if your movie's not good just make it a

[01:36:46] parody yep it's dismissed did anybody like shriek if you know what i did last summer no uh it was called shriek and it was a spoof of scream that's the one yeah if you know what i did last summer yeah that was like a showtime movie hbo movie no i never saw that no had tom arnold in it and what's her name from saved by the bell uh tiffany tevisan yeah yeah yeah coolio

[01:37:16] danny strong yeah all kinds of people julie bange yeah that was yeah that was one of many horror parodies but it had some okay reviews it was one of those it seems like again just you can find all these wacky spoof movies if you didn't find them the first time just look them up you'll find them and you'll be like hey still better than a lot of today's stuff

[01:37:45] i just watched the other day i watched um gremlins from the kremlin the old warner brothers cartoon oh who the hell thought that up is a freaking genius that's gotta be what was that it was gremlins from the kremlin it's supposed to be uh adolf hitler's flying a bomber over to moscow to bomb from the yeah we are gremlins from the kremlin you know

[01:38:15] i haven't heard that one oh this is a comedy animation from 1940 oh music by carl starling yeah who did lily wrote mary mary mary's cartoon yeah and it's supposed to be like making it just makes hitler such a freaking jackass and you know there's like one part where like you know car comes in this is silly isn't

[01:38:45] he but um there's one part where they do this thing which is you're a gremlin from the kremlin how do you do that's supposed to be a take off on the old uh radio character the mad russian how do you do yeah um yeah they did that it's it's weird to watch it's like kind of surreal to watch but it's funny to watch you know um i watched that and then i

[01:39:15] watched the one uh duck a muck which is one of my favorite ones i've heard of that one but i can't uh can't recall it this one where daffy duck gets trapped in all the cartoons yeah i have yeah bugs funny because the camera ain't i a stinker yeah he erases his beak a few times draw stuff on him yeah i am spartacus i mean we need more of that just you know when it comes to spoofs you know they did those

[01:39:45] gladiator type spoofs they did that they did shakespeare uh operas they did all kinds of stuff well i'm trying to think what did you guys think of awesomus maximus or whatever it was oh well i didn't see that i i saw it's meet the spartans but i thought that i like awesome maximus better than meet the spartans meet the spartans i thought was very disappointing that was bad but yeah awesome and maximus i that's one of those there's

[01:40:14] some funny stuff i think it would have been better as like either a web series or just with a bigger budget but yeah if you're a will sasso fan you might like it but if not when you're not a will sasso fan well now will sasso is playing georgie's step or georgie's uh father-in-law yep i can't believe they got him to be on that show because i knew he was doing a podcast

[01:40:44] and they got him to be on it and i was like oh man that's sasso holy christ i can't believe you know i remember him being like i remember being really really heavy on mad tv and then he lost all that weight and you know he looks good now but i couldn't believe that was him i was like i'm that old now you know well he showed he was showing up doing some pretty good stuff and uh what was that show called mom i think it was where yeah yeah he was on a ritter sitcom he

[01:41:14] would he had his share of recurring roles and other stuff but yeah what was that show with uh what's her face um where she was she was on abc and she was on abc she was like she's kind of chubby girl and she got you know she i'm trying to remember what show it was oh yeah that guy sorry i don't know i don't know they had that one guy

[01:41:43] who did that one thing on abc are you talking about are you talking about she was in is it the same girl that was in like big bang episode where she was dating leonard or something and like the first season yeah yeah yeah um oh the one blonde girl no redheaded um i used to know her name but i can't think of it right now that redhead girl i'm sorry i don't know hang on i can look it up oh oh i actually have a

[01:42:13] movie with her in it um where she she actually she's lost weight she took her top off in it i can't remember what it was called well that's specific less than perfect less than perfect okay so what was her name uh it was spira rue spira rue that's right

[01:42:42] that's it yeah if she shows red hair it's gonna be ruby ruby ruby that was bad even for me katie casen yeah i've seen her back in the countdown katie casen would have been a great action star i've seen sarah she would probably do a good in a spoof for a parody movie i never think she gets enough attention in any other show she's in though she's always like a

[01:43:12] background character that only has a small part yeah i don't know yeah they made that show they made that show more about her being a full figured woman than anything else which is nothing wrong but you know over the course of today she lost 30 pounds she became her figure became less of the focus of the series which you know okay fine yeah

[01:43:42] whatever works for you man laugh track and all trying to find that movie i was trying to talk about oh yeah for christ's sake is what the name of the movie is from 2010 all right so another will sassin movie got it yep oh every other comedian i mean especially with bill hater on barry

[01:44:11] i'm down to give them a wacky spoof rule just go for it just make sure you're making use of their talents and it's not just relying on nostalgia oh man and just to just to clarify for christ's sake the movie's about like um these people convinced this priest to let them shoot a porno in this in the church or whatever oh my god that almost sounds like uh like there was a show that

[01:44:41] uh michael rosenbaum did it was oh yeah him pastor he was a fake preacher him pastor yes that was fun she's also listed in that one oh well so there you go we've seen her more than we realize and somewhere in there there's either michael cain or kevin bacon yes we'll connect them to it somehow hello pastor i'd like to do a confession if it's really discounted

[01:45:10] then we'll just look for a danny trejo connection well you just reminded me my my cousin i said she was in uh tales from the crypt demon night she was hanging off dick miller's arm in a scene oh yeah and so i i was thinking and i was just watching police squad tonight he was in an episode of police squad yes oh i think it was one of the joe dante episodes so i'm like that just makes me what my you know my cousin was on dick miller's arm dick miller was in a scene with leslie neilson so that's what two degrees of separation

[01:45:40] whatever you gotta do man to connect it oh oh oh i bid you adieu for tonight we gotta turn in we gotta turn in i will see you next week sleep well yes as they say in the as they say in the old country awesome bye bye as they say in some countries as they say in some countries bonus notches

[01:46:10] which means more nachos what no good nachos no i said as they say in some countries buenos nachos which means more nachos for your order and don't forget via con queso i i when i was in when i was in germany there was a waitress that wanted me to say say my order in german and i i didn't know any germans so i just said uh uh uno beer

[01:46:38] why didn't you just say schnell hurry get it schnell schnell schnell yes sir yes sir not you schnell i meant fast fast i meant i meant go faster quicker quicker quicker yes sir speaking to the horse not you quicker yes sir now i'm speaking the whole time from the chief detective there'd have to be schnell no

[01:47:08] no we do right yeah we just doubly do right in this there's a scene there's a scene in the chief detective where it's like three nazis are going towards the airfield and the coal wings going schnell schnell yes sir no not you schnell i meant quicker quicker quicker yes sir not you quicker i meant faster faster from now on he didn't speak english the whole time and you just brought up another parody movie starring a future detective there you go yep

[01:47:39] no he was already a detective he was already doing columbia by then oh okay even then like you said it's a comedy movie what was that he was also in murder by death murder by death yeah murder by death the hitchcock i always think the cheap the cheap detective is better than murder by death i'm sorry oh yeah oh and you also played ahead they're not exactly the same type of parody though i kind of had fun the murder by death was more of an agatha christie type of thing

[01:48:08] while cheap detective detective was more like a bogart thing what's the one william bivane uh hitchcock movie family plot that's the one yeah i think that one's a little better okay question does anybody remember a tv parody movie with uh tony danza playing uh beretta type character murder will kill you murder can hurt you murder can hurt you yes and it was it was john byner and jamie far like starsky and hutch uh

[01:48:37] i remember um bert young was like columbo um uh who was it uh connie stevens was in there played kojak uh yeah connie stevens played like police woman gavin sergeant salty sanders uh buck owens was like mcleod he was called vick sky uh yep wow sky and jimmy jay walker played parks the pusher yeah and victor buono

[01:49:07] played um the character like don adams is the narrator my god don adams is the narrator and i bert young yeah and the lieutenant palumbo palumbo and who was it victor buono played uh ironsides called uh iron bottom iron bottom yeah it's apparently also known as no jack and company yeah i apparently have seen it but i do not remember this that's awesome

[01:49:36] i remember i thought we talked about this one time on the gilbert godfrey page that i'm on i remember i thought this was a fever dream and all i i remember oh i remember that very very clearly and at the

[01:50:06] end it turns out palumbo's wife was the one killing everybody or trying to kill everybody because she mr palumbo wasn't giving her enough time at home i remember and liz torres played the wife i think liz torres was was wow the wife in that and ross kelly was it was ross kelly who was in disguise you know like ross kelly's in it and i think or was it ross kelly was the other one um yes no i don't know

[01:50:35] no anita what's her face the one who was in 10 or 9 or she's in it too ross kelly played virginia trickwood yeah forest plays miss palumbo yeah yeah and don adams narrated on it yep but yeah i was trying my wife and i were watching something and it just suddenly dawned to me why do i picture

[01:51:04] tony danza as a beretta type character and i'm like oh my god and i went down the rabbit hole to look for that and i'm like yeah i saw this movie and it came out like 1980 yeah i guess just with all these rediscovered spoof movies people just need to start having more like movie clubs where they just play these over zoom or at private gatherings yeah well nothing will top rustlers rhapsody oh the western with uh tom barringer yep yeah

[01:51:34] and and and and and and and Andy griffith as a bad guy oh my god i've seen that one that movie is so weird gw bailey is in it yeah yeah and um mary lou henner mary lou henner's in it she plays a woman who basically like she's she's she's a prostitute with a heart of gold she just talks to guys that's all she does well yeah she was in another one um that was a

[01:52:01] parody movie uh johnny dangerously yeah with michael keaton yeah but the best part of wrestling but one of one of the best parts of russler russell's rhapsody patrick wayne playing the bad guy and i'm a lawyer doesn't he get called in to kind of to kill tom barry character yeah at least

[01:52:26] we made it far for this episode without mentioning spy hard oh the twist was that he was another good guy or something yeah something like that he was so that was that was the big twist in the in the and then you know craziness well better than spy hard hey you know what but you know what you know talk about you want to talk about great parody movies support your local sheriff support your
