This week, we're dialing back the clock to the year before "Airplane!" to salute two masters of silly cinematic comedy: director Carl Reiner and Steve Martin, beginning with the 1979 classic "The Jerk" and 1982's supremely underrated "Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid".It’s a tale that involves gently recycled stand-up routines, tender ukulele ballads, dangerously crossed eyes, and the greatest cinematic pastime: reusing clips from old movies without the expressed written consent of the actors in that footage.Join your wonky yet affable host!

This Week's Recommendation(s): “ParaNorman" (2012)
