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) joins us for a look back at one of the greatest spoofs ever made.

We become parodies of ourselves as Dan Oster (MadTV, A Podcast, But Evil) joins us to revisit UHF, Weird Al Yankovic's cult classic about weird people trying to run a weird tv station for a non-weird world. As a bonus treat, we've included some old audio of our interview with Weird Al himself, so you get to drink from THE FIREHOSE (of podcast content)!!!
