Episode 00: Airplane! (1980)

Before Police Squad! (1982) there was Airplane! (1980). Mark, Mike, and Chris talk about the ZAZ team's directorial debut, and their first team-up with Leslie Nielsen, in this hilarious send-up of disaster flicks. Using the bones of Zero Hour (1957) and their "15 Rules of Comedy" ZAZ and Co. fill the screen with sight gags, puns, and parody that holds up to this day.
