So Airplane was released in nineteen eighty. Let's try 35 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,120 to do maybe some rapid fire exchange back and forth 36 00:02:25,159 --> 00:02:28,960 of things that happened in nineteen eighty. Padded shoulders became 37 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:33,000 a fashion trend among young professionals that were dubbed in 38 00:02:33,039 --> 00:02:34,919 that particular year yuppies. 39 00:02:35,199 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 3: Well, I get the unfortunate. John Lennon was shot. 40 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:45,319 Speaker 2: Rubik's Cube was debuted in nineteen eighty, which quickly became 41 00:02:45,719 --> 00:02:49,560 the hottest toy trend of the early eighties. Did you 42 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:50,319 have a cube? 43 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:50,520 Speaker 3: Oh? 44 00:02:50,599 --> 00:02:53,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure. And I took it apart and I 45 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,400 put it back together, and I never learned to actually 46 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,879 have solt it. Actually I was young enough at that time. 47 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,599 I saw my brother take it apart, and I was like, oh, 48 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,120 I can do that. And then I pulled all the 49 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,599 stickers off, and they don't go back on once you 50 00:03:04,599 --> 00:03:06,479 pull them off, so we had to get a new. 51 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 3: Whes the sticker puller offer. I actually I can solve 52 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,960 one side, maybe two sides, but I can't do the 53 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:13,319 whole thing. 54 00:03:13,479 --> 00:03:15,080 Speaker 2: I can get it all the way. I can get 55 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:19,000 it top layer and next two down layers, but there's 56 00:03:19,039 --> 00:03:21,159 a formula to get that last layer, and I haven't 57 00:03:21,879 --> 00:03:22,960 memorized it me. 58 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,439 Speaker 3: Okay, also Junie of nineteen or not June of nineteen, 59 00:03:26,479 --> 00:03:29,400 but nineteen eighty, you had the miracle on ice. 60 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:31,919 Speaker 2: Yes, that's what I have. Is my next one as well. 61 00:03:32,159 --> 00:03:37,400 The US team with their amateur players does the miraculous 62 00:03:37,599 --> 00:03:41,439 thing and beats the Soviet Union, whose players were all 63 00:03:41,479 --> 00:03:46,360 professional and incredibly good. 64 00:03:46,719 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 3: H Okay, go ahead, Okay. 65 00:03:51,319 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 2: So ACD another side event, ACDC frontman Bond Scott dies 66 00:03:58,759 --> 00:04:03,439 and that was in February of nineteen eighty. Shortly thereafter 67 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:07,319 they have to decide what to do. They find frontman 68 00:04:07,639 --> 00:04:13,080 Brian Johnson through auditions. He actually came straight from a 69 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,800 Hoover vacuum commercial you would. 70 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:17,319 Speaker 3: Come back from. 71 00:04:18,439 --> 00:04:19,639 Speaker 1: It's a beautiful mover. 72 00:04:20,639 --> 00:04:22,920 Speaker 3: The new compack does more than beat. 73 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:24,519 Speaker 2: It also cleaves. 74 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,639 Speaker 1: It also sweeps, rushes up to the net. 75 00:04:28,639 --> 00:04:30,040 Speaker 4: It's a beautiful. 76 00:04:31,079 --> 00:04:35,720 Speaker 3: An opportunity knocks, Yeah, there's opportunity and then there's Back 77 00:04:35,759 --> 00:04:37,120 in Black knocking on your door. 78 00:04:37,319 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 2: Right.

Uh in June of nineteen eighteen. 82 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 3: The news that blows in my mind. He is doing 83 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:11,720 vacuum cleaner commercials. Yeah, and they say, come scene on 84 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,279 Back and Black. Now they didn't know what I mean. 85 00:05:14,319 --> 00:05:17,879 You know, Back in Black and I'd be the one 86 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:19,160 of the best albums that I think. 87 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,519 Speaker 2: Oh, there's no question that it is their best album. 88 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:25,680 And he has done a phenomenal job with them since then. 89 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,120 And I mean his voice is so similar to Bond 90 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,680 Scott's and his stage presence was spot on. His look 91 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,600 was different than anybody else. It was a solid I mean, 92 00:05:35,639 --> 00:05:38,040 they are arguably one of the best rock and roll 93 00:05:38,319 --> 00:05:39,399 bands of all time. 94 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,360 Speaker 3: All right.

It lasted exactly six episodes. 190 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 3: I got to watch that. 191 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 2: I oh, it is so good. And I was one 192 00:11:59,639 --> 00:12:02,559 of those fortunate few who had an older brother who 193 00:12:03,639 --> 00:12:05,919 was very familiar with the video store. So I actually 194 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,519 watched Police Squad before they ever made Naked Gun. And 195 00:12:09,879 --> 00:12:13,120 so I went to Naked Gun with happy anticipation, and 196 00:12:13,279 --> 00:12:17,440 it was fantastic. They took so many things from that 197 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:23,559 original series, but the Zuckers refused to do a laugh 198 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:25,919 track in them. They had so many site gags a 199 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,799 laugh track wouldn't really make any sense for them. And 200 00:12:29,039 --> 00:12:33,120 as a result, the studio said, okay, never mind, Well 201 00:12:33,279 --> 00:12:36,399 are your six episodes that you did and then we're done. 202 00:12:36,919 --> 00:12:41,600 A laugh track would have killed that. I absolutely absolutely would, Okay. 203 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:45,559 So they started. These guys started out together, work, went 204 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:51,360 to college together, came created the Kentucky Fried Theater together, 205 00:12:51,799 --> 00:12:54,960 which is where many of their comic bits come from. 206 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:59,159 Was this kind of improvisational actor troupe theater that they 207 00:12:59,159 --> 00:13:01,879 put together. And then the first movie that they came 208 00:13:01,919 --> 00:13:05,360 out with was the Kentucky Fried Movie exactly, which I 209 00:13:05,399 --> 00:13:06,440 have not seen. Have you seen it? 210 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:07,360 Speaker 3: I've seen parts of it. 211 00:13:07,399 --> 00:13:09,799 Speaker 2: I've seen little bits of it. It's it's that same 212 00:13:09,919 --> 00:13:13,080 kind of weird, quirky humor, not to the same degree. 213 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:17,039 But did you know who was directed by right throwback 214 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,320 to our episode number one? Yes, there you go. 215 00:13:20,799 --> 00:13:24,320 Speaker 3: So they originally Airplane was scheduled to be a skit 216 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,159 in the middle of the second Kentucky Fried movie. So 217 00:13:27,159 --> 00:13:29,080 it's supposed to be a skit, but they decided, hey, 218 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:30,879 there's enough meat on the bone here, we can actually 219 00:13:30,879 --> 00:13:33,480 make the whole thing a movie. 220 00:13:33,519 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 2: Whole thing of movie yep. And so the way that 221 00:13:36,519 --> 00:13:38,720 they came up with the idea for this movie is 222 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:42,200 they were recording old late night bits. Do you know 223 00:13:42,279 --> 00:13:42,720 this story? 224 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:43,559 Speaker 3: I heard this? 225 00:13:43,639 --> 00:13:44,879 Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, go ahead tell it. 226 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:50,320 Speaker 3: Well, so they used to leave the VCR on recording overnight, 227 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:54,759 just hoping to get funny commercials sort of those something 228 00:13:54,799 --> 00:13:58,279 to make fun of overnight, and they accidentally recorded zero 229 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,360 Hour and ended up Zero Hour and thinking, man, this 230 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,559 is we could really turn this into something funny. 231 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:05,720 Speaker 2: So, for those of you who don't know, Zero Hour 232 00:14:05,879 --> 00:14:09,799 is a movie from the what fifties, nineteen fifty seven 233 00:14:09,919 --> 00:14:14,919 nineteen fifty seven, which was an intense airplane drama and 234 00:14:15,039 --> 00:14:17,080 if you are so lucky as to see it, you 235 00:14:17,159 --> 00:14:21,559 will say, oh my, they really did just totally adapt 236 00:14:21,679 --> 00:14:25,399 this script from that script. They some of the lines 237 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:29,759 are identical. And because they knew that they were doing it, 238 00:14:29,799 --> 00:14:33,000 they were fascinated by this weird movie. They decided, we're 239 00:14:33,039 --> 00:14:35,120 going to buy the rights to the script first, which 240 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:36,679 their lawyers told them they didn't have to do, but 241 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,559 they did anyway, right, smart move, I think, yeah, absolutely, 242 00:14:39,559 --> 00:14:41,840 avoid the trouble. And it couldn't have been that expensive. 243 00:14:45,799 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 3: Okay, So do you know who they wanted to be 244 00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:50,200 in the movie initially. 245 00:14:50,639 --> 00:14:55,559 Speaker 2: So they're One of their first choices for Ted Striker 246 00:14:55,879 --> 00:15:01,360 was David Letterman. Did you know that watched his screen 247 00:15:01,559 --> 00:15:05,080 his audition? Yes, and no, it's terrible. 248 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,000 Speaker 3: It was. It was embarrassing, and they. 249 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,080 Speaker 2: All agreed that it was terrible. They were so excited, 250 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:10,759 and he was like, this is a bad idea. And 251 00:15:10,799 --> 00:15:12,320 then when they were down there, like, you're right, this was. 252 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,480 Speaker 3: A bad idea, and he was up front saying, listen, 253 00:15:14,639 --> 00:15:17,600 I'm not an actor. No, And he's not an actor no. 254 00:15:18,399 --> 00:15:21,440 Speaker 2: And he's on They are on one of the earliest 255 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:25,159 episodes of The David Letterman Show. 256 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 3: I also heard paramount wanted very Manilow to. 257 00:15:28,919 --> 00:15:31,080 Speaker 2: Be one of the pilots. Oh wow, did you hear. 258 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 3: That, and then also considered Bruce Jenner. 259 00:15:35,639 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 2: I can see that, Yeah, Bruce Jenner, probably for the 260 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:39,519 Kaream Abdul Jabbar Park. 261 00:15:39,679 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 3: Correct, he was, No, they wanted him to be one 262 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:43,000 of the pilots. 263 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:51,120 Speaker 2: Kareem Abdullal Jabbar was the pilot, yes, okay, so he 264 00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:53,519 wanted wanted him to be in the Kareem Abdul Jabbar 265 00:15:53,559 --> 00:15:54,759 Park probably okay. 266 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,720 Speaker 3: But the real person they wanted in the cream Adul 267 00:15:57,799 --> 00:15:59,679 Jabbar part was Pete Rose. 268 00:16:00,159 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 2: Oh, they're never one choice, which would have been an 269 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:05,960 entirely different Yeah, but. 270 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 3: It was shut during the summer and Pete was playing baseball. 271 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,879 Speaker 2: Okay, So there you go.

So they were involved in other pictures, a 273 00:16:16,279 --> 00:16:20,200 couple of the scary movies, some other silly parody things, 274 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:25,000 but nothing compares to Airplane and to Naked Gun and 275 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:28,240 the sequels for Naked Gun. Interestingly, they did not do 276 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:33,679 the sequel for Airplane. Airplane two was done by someone else, 277 00:16:33,879 --> 00:16:36,200 had a lot of the same stars in it, of course, 278 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:40,840 but part of the contract with the studio was they 279 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:45,080 get to decide who and how and where the sequel goes, 280 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,360 and they did ask these guys to do it, but 281 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:49,480 they weren't interested, no, thank you. 282 00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:51,919 Speaker 3: They were on the outside looking in on that deal. 283 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:52,440 Speaker 2: Right. 284 00:16:52,759 --> 00:16:55,799 Speaker 3: So, actually, before we go any further, this this podcast 285 00:16:55,879 --> 00:16:59,080 was very nearly Airplane versus Naked Gun. 286 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,799 Speaker 2: Yeah, it was, but we decided that there was those 287 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:06,119 two movies were so similar, and you guess, yeah, you 288 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:09,680 needed to have you need to have two different styles 289 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:10,200 of parody. 290 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 3: Goer, before going further, did you enjoy Airplane two? 291 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:18,480 Speaker 2: I think I did, but it's also been like since 292 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,079 nineteen eighty five or earlier since I watched it, so 293 00:17:21,319 --> 00:17:24,640 I don't.

Okay. 328 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:12,640 Speaker 3: So a composer for Airplane, yes, especially a famous composer, yes, 329 00:19:12,799 --> 00:19:16,000 very famous, Yes, Elmer Bernstein. 330 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:19,319 Speaker 2: Right, who in the sixties and seventies was doing some 331 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:21,839 of the best movies. He did The Magnificent Seven, yep. 332 00:19:21,839 --> 00:19:24,519 Speaker 3: And Commandments Wow, the Great Escape. 333 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 2: Yeah. And as it turned out, he was close family 334 00:19:29,079 --> 00:19:32,359 friends with the parents of John Landis. As we mentioned, 335 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:36,039 John Landis was the director of the Kent the Kentucky 336 00:19:36,039 --> 00:19:40,200 Fried movie, right, and he is also the composer for 337 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:44,000 Animal House, which was John Landis's next big, big movie, 338 00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:46,960 and he was it was because he was friends. He's like, hey, 339 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:48,160 I'd love you to come do this. And if you 340 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:51,440 remember the soundtrack from Animal House, it's this very kind 341 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:55,400 of pomp and circumstance type of composing, which was perfect. 342 00:19:55,519 --> 00:19:55,680 Speaker 3: You know. 343 00:19:55,720 --> 00:20:00,160 Speaker 2: It's the it's the juxtaposition of this high falutint music 344 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,759 and these crazy college kids.

Lloyd Bridges, Yes, brilliant and. 469 00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:21,519 Speaker 3: He was a serious actor, encouraged by his sons Bow 470 00:27:21,519 --> 00:27:24,200 and Jeff to take this role. And he had trouble 471 00:27:24,279 --> 00:27:25,319 sort of figuring it. 472 00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:30,119 Speaker 2: Out, struggle. He was perfect, he was great. 473 00:27:30,279 --> 00:27:35,079 Speaker 3: Okay, Okay, So my fifth favorite. I like this one 474 00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:38,759 he says when the doctor and the pilot talk. Yes, 475 00:27:39,079 --> 00:27:41,759 this scene where he's like, when can you land this plane? 476 00:27:42,039 --> 00:27:44,319 In the past says I can't tell you can tell me. 477 00:27:44,319 --> 00:27:47,839 I'm a doctor.

Well enough for another two hours. 479 00:27:50,519 --> 00:27:52,880 You can't take a guess for another two hours. That 480 00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:56,880 whole conversation cracks me up right funny, funny. Okay, So 481 00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:57,680 that's my number five. 482 00:27:57,759 --> 00:28:02,079 Speaker 2: Okay, number four for me. The cockpit what is it? 483 00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:04,640 That's the little room where the pilot sit. But that's 484 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:09,319 not important right now. Oh my gosh, that's brilliant genius 485 00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:12,240 that they use multiple times with the hospital with the cockpit, 486 00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:14,920 and I think they probably used it over again and 487 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,799 some other thing. But genius building with patience. 488 00:28:17,839 --> 00:28:20,799 Speaker 3: But that's not the part right now, right, all right? 489 00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:24,599 Number four for me, He says, the whole Johnny, the 490 00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:27,359 character Johnny, which is the weird guy. 491 00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:30,400 Speaker 2: At the kind of a I know exactly who Johnny is, Johnny, 492 00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:31,119 what can you make this? 493 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:32,880 Speaker 3: And he hands them some papers like well, I can 494 00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:34,359 make a hat, or I can make a broach, or 495 00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:35,279 I can make the pterodactyl. 496 00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:38,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, So I'm gonna go ahead and jump up 497 00:28:38,359 --> 00:28:41,720 to my number two because my number two is every 498 00:28:41,759 --> 00:28:45,119 single thing that Johnny says. He he is perfect. And 499 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:47,279 here's what's interesting. He was one of those guys who 500 00:28:47,319 --> 00:28:53,640 came from the Kentucky Fried Theater and he they didn't 501 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:56,480 write any of his lines. They just gave him the 502 00:28:56,519 --> 00:28:59,160 script and you know, hear the lines and if you 503 00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,759 want to come in, let it know. And so every 504 00:29:01,799 --> 00:29:06,039 single thing that he does was his own improvisational thing. 505 00:29:06,359 --> 00:29:09,119 And it's brilliant. And you know, we talked about and 506 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:11,839 we're going to get into it. But they got serious 507 00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:15,319 actor number one, Peter Grave, Serious Actor number two, Leslie Nielson, 508 00:29:15,359 --> 00:29:19,000 Serious Actor number three, Robert Stack, Serious Actor number four, 509 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:22,720 Lloyd Bridges, and Robert Hayes does a fantastic job and 510 00:29:22,799 --> 00:29:26,200 Julie Haggerty does a fantastic job of all remaining perfectly 511 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:28,880 serious throughout the movie, and that's what makes this movie 512 00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:33,319 so good and so funny. But Johnny is the exception 513 00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:37,000 that breaks the rule. It's a big, pretty plain, big wheels. 514 00:29:37,279 --> 00:29:38,960 Speaker 3: It's right with red stripes. 515 00:29:39,079 --> 00:29:43,200 Speaker 2: Looks like a big tile in gosh. 516 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:47,200 Speaker 3: All right, so I guess we go back to you, okay, 517 00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:47,559 back to me? 518 00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:49,480 Speaker 2: Yes, okay. 519 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:53,319 Speaker 3: Anything that the black guys say cracks me up. 520 00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:55,640 Speaker 2: Every time, absolutely, the jive talk, the give talk. 521 00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:58,839 Speaker 3: And then when Barra Billingsley steps in, excuse me, miss, 522 00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:05,920 and then she starts talking to you know what they say, 523 00:30:06,279 --> 00:30:09,279 see your broll to get a booty actor, layer down, 524 00:30:09,359 --> 00:30:11,759 a smack cole, got to. 525 00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:18,880 Speaker 2: Be chump, don't want to Okay. So interestingly, the Zazz 526 00:30:19,039 --> 00:30:21,319 when they wrote this, they really just made up garbage, 527 00:30:21,359 --> 00:30:25,599 gibberish stuff. But the two actors that portrayed the jive 528 00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:29,720 talking guys in the movie, they've read the script and 529 00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:31,240 they're like, we got to come up with something better 530 00:30:31,279 --> 00:30:33,559 than this. And so when they go into audition, they've 531 00:30:33,599 --> 00:30:37,039 actually again written their own dialogue where they're throwing in 532 00:30:37,079 --> 00:30:39,759 some of the stuff that they grew up with which 533 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:43,079 if you hear these actors talk, it's hilarious because they 534 00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:46,799 I mean, they're they're the most well spoken, clear, I mean, 535 00:30:46,839 --> 00:30:49,359 it's not what it does. They don't sound like them 536 00:30:49,519 --> 00:30:53,839 the guys in uh airplane at all. But those those 537 00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:56,680 guys came up with that, and it kills their moment. 538 00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:58,160 Speaker 3: Didn't raise no DMan, they dug the red. 539 00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:04,519 Speaker 2: You're me, I don't know, go ahead, the. 540 00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:07,440 Speaker 3: Part in the bar where the girl scouts are fighting 541 00:31:08,079 --> 00:31:10,559 when he lean's over till the guy maybe dreaming pinched 542 00:31:10,599 --> 00:31:14,319 me right. But the best part of that whole scene 543 00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:18,680 is when Elaine is dancing with the guy that gets 544 00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:19,480 stabbed in the back. 545 00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:22,680 Speaker 2: He's pointing at his back, in his back, and she 546 00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:29,359 thinks it's a dance move. Well, Joey, have you ever 547 00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:30,359 been in a Turkish person? 548 00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:34,720 Speaker 3: Joey, you like movies about gladiators? 549 00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:36,960 Speaker 2: Have you ever seen a grown man nikked? 550 00:31:39,759 --> 00:31:42,480 Speaker 3: Peter Graves gets asked to save these lines all the time. 551 00:31:42,799 --> 00:31:46,599 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, oh yeah, And and he was. He was 552 00:31:46,599 --> 00:31:49,640 incredibly nervous about playing the part because he had been 553 00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:52,119 in nothing but serious roles before and he just didn't 554 00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:53,519 He was like, I don't know if I can do comedy, 555 00:31:53,519 --> 00:31:54,880 and they said, we don't want you to do comedy. 556 00:31:55,119 --> 00:31:57,160 We want you to be as serious as you can be. 557 00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:01,400 So can you imagine deliver bring to a child actor 558 00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:03,839 the line, have you ever seen a grown man naked 559 00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:08,799 with absolute sincerity?

I mean I laughed 563 00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:21,799 out loud throughout the movie, but this was a pa 564 00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:24,160 laugh that I don't even I need to look up 565 00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:26,279 the actor, but he's one of the bit actors in 566 00:32:26,319 --> 00:32:31,200 there in the air control room and he's on the phone. 567 00:32:31,119 --> 00:32:33,359 Speaker 5: In the flying has no airline experience at all. He's 568 00:32:33,359 --> 00:32:36,839 a menace to himself and everything else in the air. Yes, 569 00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:44,359 birds too, Oh my gosh, it's hilarious.

Top two actors, who are Robert 583 00:33:26,559 --> 00:33:31,000 Hayes and Julie Haggerty. Honestly, they didn't do much else 584 00:33:31,039 --> 00:33:35,119 besides this. Robert Hayes was in Angie, which was a 585 00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:38,319 popular series at the time, then after it was canceled, 586 00:33:38,359 --> 00:33:42,640 did this movie and not much else. He was obviously 587 00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:45,720 an Airplane two, as was Julie Haggerty. This was Julie 588 00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:49,400 Haggerty's first major motion picture, and she's been in quite 589 00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:51,680 a few things since then, but nothing of. 590 00:33:52,319 --> 00:33:54,359 Speaker 3: The only thing I really remember from her is what 591 00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:56,359 about Bob's Wife? 592 00:33:56,599 --> 00:33:59,119 Speaker 2: Oh that's right? Oh well that is that is a 593 00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:00,279 solid movie. 594 00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:00,880 Speaker 3: That's funny. 595 00:34:01,039 --> 00:34:02,359 Speaker 2: Oh that's great. Yeah. 596 00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:05,839 Speaker 3: So that's it for her and for him really yeah, 597 00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,000 when I if I see him, he's Airplane. 598 00:34:08,079 --> 00:34:09,760 Speaker 2: He's dead Striker always. That's it. 599 00:34:10,119 --> 00:34:11,920 Speaker 3: She's going to be Elaine always. 600 00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:16,840 Speaker 2: Okay, So then we move on to our supporting cast. 601 00:34:17,599 --> 00:34:20,599 We have Peter Graves, who is famous from the Mission 602 00:34:20,639 --> 00:34:25,960 an Impossible series, not the Tom Cruise Mission Impossible series, 603 00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:29,360 but the original television series. We have the original soundtrack. 604 00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:30,719 I want to play that right now because it's so 605 00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:54,519 awesome and anything on Peter Graves. I know what you're thinking. No, 606 00:34:54,599 --> 00:34:57,760 we're not related, all right. Who we got next? 607 00:34:58,199 --> 00:34:59,000 Speaker 3: Leslie and Nielsen. 608 00:34:59,159 --> 00:35:02,559 Speaker 2: Okay, so let's Nielsen had been in some pretty weird 609 00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:06,760 kind of B movie things, but always a serious role, 610 00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:09,159 and he's kind of funny. He's in a Martian movie. 611 00:35:09,199 --> 00:35:13,119 Speaker 3: It's very strange, like one of those old fifties sci 612 00:35:13,159 --> 00:35:17,800 fi bad sci fi, like Mystery Science three thousand times, 613 00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:21,599 oh for sure. And he's like the kind of the. 614 00:35:21,159 --> 00:35:24,760 Speaker 2: Tough guy, the guy. Yeah, basically he's the hero, right. 615 00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:28,280 Speaker 3: But whenever I say Leslie Neilson to me, he's Frank 616 00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:31,559 Dreven absolutely. I mean, he's the doctor from Airplane too, 617 00:35:31,559 --> 00:35:35,280 but he's Frank driven from Megan guy. Then we have 618 00:35:35,559 --> 00:35:40,480 Lloyd Bridges, father of as you mentioned, Jeff and Bridges, 619 00:35:40,599 --> 00:35:42,960 Bow Bridges, the. 620 00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:46,159 Speaker 2: Fabulous Baker Boys. Okay, so these guys came from TV. 621 00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:50,920 Leslie Nielsen had been in Forbidden Flant Forbidden Planet, the 622 00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:56,960 weird sci fi fifties thing, and then Robert Stack was 623 00:35:57,119 --> 00:36:01,039 Elliott nas and the old Untouchables series that was on TV. 624 00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:04,199 Speaker 3: Yes, one hundred nineteen episodes of the Who the whole Run? 625 00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:05,039 Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, I think so? 626 00:36:05,519 --> 00:36:09,039 Speaker 3: Okay, So here I have a funny story about Robert Stack. Okay, 627 00:36:09,079 --> 00:36:12,239 this is true. This is a true story. I don't 628 00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:17,239 know how if it's truth or not. But we're watching Airplane, okay, 629 00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:21,480 at my grandparents' house. Okay, okay, I'm little, I'm not little, 630 00:36:21,559 --> 00:36:26,400 I'm young. And my granddad goes, I know that guy, 631 00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:30,239 he'd pointing in a TV.

They served together in the military 635 00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:39,920 during World War Two. Now, I don't know if that's 636 00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:40,440 true or not. 637 00:36:40,599 --> 00:36:48,159 Speaker 2: It was your grandfather's name. Stranker gets sorry, Well, well, 638 00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:51,239 we'll go and check Robert Stack's military record and see 639 00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:54,880 if things check out or not. He's the unsolved mysteries guy. 640 00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:56,880 That's how he Yes, that's how I know it. Yeah, 641 00:36:57,199 --> 00:37:01,039 he'd always be in that kind of trench coat dark alley. 642 00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:02,599 Here's the story. 643 00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:03,679 Speaker 3: It was a Dark Knight. 644 00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:07,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, and then so we as we said, Peter Graves 645 00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:10,079 came from Mission Impossible, the TV series in the sixties 646 00:37:10,119 --> 00:37:15,079 as well. And then Lloyd Bridges came from Sea Hunt, 647 00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:19,280 which which is a big show that I didn't I 648 00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:22,360 mean well before my time a couple of decades. 649 00:37:23,559 --> 00:37:27,480 Speaker 3: And you see the original Mission Possible television show. 650 00:37:28,039 --> 00:37:30,719 Speaker 2: You've never seen it. Oh, it's good. They have the 651 00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:32,920 masks like they do the thing with the pull in 652 00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:35,159 their face off mask. That's where it comes from in 653 00:37:35,199 --> 00:37:41,199 the Tom's Tom Cruise series as well. Cool. And so 654 00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:45,039 then Lloyd Bridges also was in a Police Story which 655 00:37:45,159 --> 00:37:48,320 was another TV series later on. Was kind of the 656 00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:50,239 main character in that, and I believe it's spin off 657 00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:55,320 of that afterwards. But uh, these guys were all serious 658 00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:59,559 actors from TV who kind of were beyond their prime 659 00:37:59,679 --> 00:38:02,199 at the time that that this movie came out. 660 00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:06,480 Speaker 3: Yep. Absolutely, we have. 661 00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:07,599 Speaker 2: Anything else to say in the actors. 662 00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:12,000 Speaker 3: Okay, So we're to the final wrap up of Airplane. 663 00:38:12,599 --> 00:38:14,920 Speaker 2: Right, because I can't think of six degrees of Kevin Bacon. 664 00:38:16,079 --> 00:38:20,119 So I'm trying to think.

It 737 00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:19,719 is brilliant from beginning to end, there's I will say this, Okay, 738 00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:23,119 so there are a couple of jokes in there that 739 00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:27,320 I still don't get. Okay, So you remember, like midway 740 00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:30,519 through the movie, just as things are kind of going crazy, 741 00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:32,559 all of a sudden, as they're talking about the bad 742 00:42:32,599 --> 00:42:35,480 stuff that can happen, this spear comes out of nowhere 743 00:42:35,599 --> 00:42:40,280 and the yeah on the map. I have no idea 744 00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:43,320 what that was about. I don't know why it's funny. 745 00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:47,400 It was just kind of random. It was, I mean, 746 00:42:47,679 --> 00:42:50,199 their stuff is really random already, but that was so 747 00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:52,440 random that I was just like, I don't even understand 748 00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:53,280 how this is a joke. 749 00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:57,599 Speaker 3: That movie is so funny that and they have such 750 00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:01,480 rabid fire jokes. Yeah that that spear doesn't even cause 751 00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:04,079 me pause because I'm already moving on. And there's something 752 00:43:04,119 --> 00:43:05,199 funny right after that. 753 00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:07,199 Speaker 2: Somebody was looking at how many jokes there, and they 754 00:43:07,199 --> 00:43:11,400 are literally like ninety jokes per minute in just any 755 00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:14,239 given scene that you have in this movie, which is 756 00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:15,840 just I mean, it's too much to keep up with. 757 00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:18,840 These guys tried to fit something in every second. And 758 00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:21,360 then the other joke that I didn't get, excuse me, 759 00:43:21,599 --> 00:43:25,039 the other joke that I didn't get was the watermelon 760 00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:29,360 falling from the sky onto the desk. I don't It 761 00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:33,360 was just like the water I don't remember. Yeah, I mean, 762 00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:35,840 it's just like the watermelon. Just I mean, they're just 763 00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:39,119 in they're in the control area and they're all talking, 764 00:43:39,199 --> 00:43:41,960 and it's like things are going to go bad and boom, 765 00:43:42,559 --> 00:43:46,480 watermelon falls and busts apart all over the desk. Huh. 766 00:43:46,519 --> 00:43:48,079 And I looked it up. I tried to find it, 767 00:43:48,119 --> 00:43:51,199 and nobody knows what those things mean. And I think 768 00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:53,599 even the guys in the commentary are just like, you know, 769 00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:56,159 I really wish these jokes had gotten a little more play. 770 00:43:56,199 --> 00:43:58,599 And I was just like, I don't understand the joke. 771 00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:00,000 Nobody does, and you're not explained. 772 00:44:00,119 --> 00:44:03,639 Speaker 3: Mean, how about this one, okay, Johnny Johnny Johnny, Yes, 773 00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:04,679 so he's hilarious. 774 00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:06,639 Speaker 2: He's funny, Steve, I think, But yes. 775 00:44:08,519 --> 00:44:10,320 Speaker 3: He knocks it out of the park. He's still seeing 776 00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:16,280 he crushes it. And I have even quoted this the Rapunzel, right, Rabunzel, Rabunzel. 777 00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:19,440 It's funny. I don't know what he's talking about, but 778 00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:19,960 it's funny. 779 00:44:20,199 --> 00:44:22,719 Speaker 2: Right, Well, I have anything more. 780 00:44:23,079 --> 00:44:25,599 Speaker 3: The only thing I would say is I have no critiques. 781 00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:29,400 I have no critiques of this. I think it's perfectly funny, 782 00:44:30,039 --> 00:44:34,679 deliciously naughty, you know, a little bit off humor, which 783 00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:37,760 makes it even funnier. Right, And if somebody said, what 784 00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:40,239 a million dollars more to the budget made it make 785 00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:43,239 it any more funny? And I don't think it would. No, 786 00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:46,920 there's nothing more that they could have done with another 787 00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:47,559 million bucks. 788 00:44:47,599 --> 00:44:50,800 Speaker 2: The lack of technical savvy on the special effects makes 789 00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:52,880 it a little bit more funny. The fact that you 790 00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:55,639 can tell it's a model airplane as it lands makes 791 00:44:55,679 --> 00:44:58,679 it more funny. I bet that the I bet the 792 00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:01,199 most expensive thing they did was running the actual plane 793 00:45:01,199 --> 00:45:04,440 through the window. That probably was the most scene that 794 00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:05,400 they probably shot. 795 00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:08,800 Speaker 3: I will say, if you have I don't know if 796 00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:11,480 we've talked about this, and I can't remember, but if 797 00:45:11,480 --> 00:45:14,960 you've got the DVR remote and you can hit pause 798 00:45:16,199 --> 00:45:18,960 in the nightclub scene when they're playing Staying Alive and 799 00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:21,639 he's dancing with her and it's the disco scene, right, 800 00:45:22,519 --> 00:45:26,159 she's flinging around by his feet and when she lets 801 00:45:26,239 --> 00:45:29,960 him go, he does this big backflip right right, Well, 802 00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:32,800 the the stunt person who does the back flip is 803 00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:36,559 obviously not Robert Hayes. So it's this massive backflip. You 804 00:45:36,599 --> 00:45:41,440 can see Robert Hayes hiding in the crowd pre back flip, 805 00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:44,320 which is kind of a funny blooper if you're if 806 00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:48,320 you've got the remote control. When he does this giant 807 00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:51,440 backflip and lands, you can see Robert Hayes cowering in 808 00:45:51,559 --> 00:45:54,280 the back, hiding among the people. 809 00:45:54,519 --> 00:45:58,239 Speaker 2: That's funny. Well, I don't I'm trying to remember. Did 810 00:45:58,280 --> 00:46:02,159 we talk about the very first scene where it's the 811 00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:04,719 red zone is for loading and unloading and the white 812 00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:11,199 zone is for a white zonationers. There's no stopping in 813 00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:11,920 the white zong. 814 00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:17,000 Speaker 3: No, the white zone is forming and unnoted, and there 815 00:46:17,119 --> 00:46:19,239 is no stamping in the red zone. 816 00:46:20,599 --> 00:46:23,559 Speaker 2: The red zong has always been for loading at a quoting. 817 00:46:23,719 --> 00:46:25,960 Speaker 1: There's never stopping at a white song. 818 00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:29,440 Speaker 3: Don't tell me which sell is for stopping and which cell. 819 00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:30,079 Speaker 5: Is for mooting. 820 00:46:30,760 --> 00:46:33,719 Speaker 2: Somebody, don't start off with your white zoon. It turns 821 00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:38,239 out those are the actual people who recorded those pa 822 00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:40,679 things that they played in all of the airports all 823 00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:44,840 over the country for those things, and those two people 824 00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:49,039 were actually husband and yeah, that's right, all right now, 825 00:46:49,039 --> 00:46:52,480 it's time to jump into Spaceball one and travel at 826 00:46:52,639 --> 00:46:55,639 ludicrous speed so we can warp ahead in time to 827 00:46:56,239 --> 00:47:01,480 nineteen eighty seven when Spaceball's was released. So join us 828 00:47:01,519 --> 00:47:04,440 next week for part two of the debate. Here's some 829 00:47:04,519 --> 00:47:07,519 of what you're gonna hear. The actor who portrayed Prince 830 00:47:07,599 --> 00:47:11,840 Vallium was Jim J. Bullet, who I remember from the 831 00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:15,719 Hollywood Square Now. He was I think a lifetime member, 832 00:47:17,119 --> 00:47:21,280 along with John Rivers, who does the voice for the 833 00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:28,719 robot Dot Matrix Matrix. Yes, Vespa means wasp in Italians. 834 00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:33,840 The very very white girl is Princess Wasp in sense 835 00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:41,840 it's funny she doesn't look bush. And then the third 836 00:47:42,119 --> 00:47:46,039 co writer is Ronnie Graham, who you will recognize from 837 00:47:46,039 --> 00:47:48,760 the movie as the priest for the wedding. 838 00:47:49,119 --> 00:47:52,119 Speaker 3: Every line he says, it's fun.
