739: Above the Zeppo Level

Do you like gladiator movies, Joey? It’s 1980’s “Airplane!”—the comedy version of “Zero Hour!”—with serious actors playing ridiculous parts more or less straight. How does the comedy hold up? What’s unique about the approach? Why was it such a huge hit? We put the ZAZ boys under the microscope. Surely we’ll all have a good time! (Don’t call us Shirley.)

"Airplane!"

Host Jason Snell with Shelly Brisbin, Philip Michaels, Dr. Drang, and Steve Lutz.
