  • Summary

  • Mark Begley (Wake Up Heavy), Chris Stachiw (The Kulturecast), and Mike White (The Projection Booth) look at the short-lived show that some consider "too funny for TV", Police Squad! It's a police procedural starring Leslie Nielsen as Lt. Frank Drebin and Alan North as Cpt. Ed Hocken.

    We look at the evolution of the Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker style of comedy from Airplane! to Naked Gun 33 1/3 in this special podcast series.

    Episode 09: Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult (1994)
    Mar 15 2023
    We have finally reached the end (until the reboot comes out, at least) of our journey with Lt. Frank Drebin of Police Squad! with Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult (1994). And oh what a journey it has been. The boys are back in L.A. (did they ever really leave?) with mostly new jokes and a new villain, played by Fred Ward. The plot, such as it is, is even hinkier than the previous two entries but now we've got Anna Nicole Smith thrown into the mix. That subtitle is looking particularly on the nose when all's said and done. Enjoy!

    We're back and so's the Police Squad gang! But now they're in Washington, D.C.? Sure!

    Episode 07: The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! (1988)
    Mar 1 2023
    It's six years after Police Squad! was unceremoniously canceled but you can't keep a good man down! Frank Drebin is back, as are Capt. Ed Hocken (now played by George Kennedy), Mr. Olson (still play by Ed Williams) and Nordberg (now played by O.J. Simpson, oof). Mike, Mark, and Chris get into the Naked Gun series where things seem very similar, yet also very different from PS. Drebin and team must foil a plot to assassinate Queen Elizabeth II at a baseball game. Also with Priscilla Presley and Ricardo Montalban.
