🎙️🤣 In this episode of The Rank Podcast, John swings into comedic overdrive with a ranking and celebration of the iconic spoof The Naked Gun. Leslie Nielsen stars as the stone-faced Lt. Frank Drebin, tasked with thwarting a ludicrous murder plot to assassinate Queen Elizabeth II—hatched by villainous businessman Vincent Ludwig, played with over-the-top flair by Ricardo Montalbán.

From gopher-filled hijinks to butchered anthems and bizarre cameos, you’ll relive why this movie is considered one of comedy’s greatest hits—still influencing filmmakers today.
