Episode 27: Airplane! (1980)


“We’ve got a fantastic movie in our podcast this week!”

“Your podcast? What is it?”

“It’s a digital audio file with losers who never shut up… but that’s not important right now.”

In our wide-ranging conversation about the slapstick comedy classic Airplane!, we chat about how you say “golly” in jive, what happens when the Zucker/Abrahams/Zucker trio breaks up, and we pay homage to the king of deadpan delivery, Leslie Nielsen. Plus we kick the episode off with a spoiler-filled analysis of Rogue One, and how that movie could affect Princess Leia’s role in Episodes VIII and IX. Looks like you picked the wrong week to quit podcasts… especially if you want to know if Airplane! stands the Test of Time.
