Episode 207 - AIRPLANE! / AIRPLANE II: THE SEQUEL

Happy Planes-giving! First, we're serving up a heaping helping of hilarity with Airplane!, the classic spoof from the Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker comedy team. Then we're back for seconds - literally - with Airplane II: The Sequel, a continuing send-up of overwrought '70s disaster flicks.

Spoof movie superfan Josh Lee returns to save the day and land this episode safely. Surely you'll see he's serious about his love of these frantically funny films. (And don't call us Shirley!)
