In this episode, we picked the wrong week to quit drinking with the 1980 Zucker Brothers comedy AIRPLANE!

After Shane reveals Airplane’s connection to the movie Ghost (6:42), we begin the case for keeping it on the pedestal with how well it exploited dramatic dignified actors for extremely ridiculous roles (10:46). We talk about how many modern jokes have been harvested from this film (15:25), the underrated genius of Robert Stack (20:01), and the emergence of Leslie Neilson as a comedy legend (27:47). We move on to the case for knocking it off the pedestal with Airplane’s overreliance on stereotypes (31:01). We debate whether or not Captain Oveur is actually a pedophile (38:13), Mike defends his position on the guitar scene (40:42), and we get into why the flashbacks were potentially the movie’s weakest links (45:16).
