About this Episode
You've seen the ad. You've seen the movie. Now listen to the podcast! Few films can boast the comedic batting average of Leslie Neilsen, and the Zucker/Abrams/Zucker team. With jokes flying so fast and furious you'd likely not catch them all on your fifth or sixth viewing, "The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!" still delivers belly laughs simultaneously smart and stupid. Guest podcaster Matt Storm a.k.a. Stormageddon ("Fun" and Games, Reignite - djstormageddon.com) joins us for a look back at one of the greatest spoofs ever made.
