Show Notes
This week, we’re diving headfirst into the absurd, rapid-fire chaos of Airplane!—the movie that rewired comedy forever. From deadpan deliveries to absolutely absurd gags, we break down why this parody classic still hits just as hard today.
We talk about the genius of the Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker trio, the brilliance of casting straight-laced actors like Leslie Nielsen in completely ridiculous roles, and how the film manages to cram more jokes into 90 minutes than most comedies do in a trilogy. Plus, we share our favorite lines, background gags, and the moments that still catch us off guard.
