Offstage Acting

This time on Offstage ONscreen, hosts Todd Kramer and Robert Nelson dive into the legacy reboot of the classic franchise, The Naked Gun (2025). The film follows Lt. Frank Drebin Jr. (Liam Neeson) — son of the iconic Leslie Nielsen character — as he takes up the mantel of the original's absurdly competent‑yet‑clueless cop. He pairs with femme fatale Beth (Pamela Anderson) and a gag‑heavy ensemble (including Paul Walter Hauser and Danny Huston) in a brand‑new spoof‑saturated investigation of murder, mayhem and… a possible Halloween‑store forced‑conversion of the whole Police Squad. Todd and Robert raise the question: does this reboot honour the spirit of the original, or simply rely on nostalgia glitz and star power? With Neeson leaning into deadpan absurdity and the gags flying every few seconds, the tone is unmistakably nostalgic — but whether the film lands is left for debate. Will audiences laugh as hard as they hoped? Will this become the new benchmark of spoof comedies, or fall into the reboot‑trap of "funny in theory"? Tune in as Todd Kramer and Robert Nelson dissect performances, direction (Akiva Schaffer) and the very identity of what "The Naked Gun" means in 2025.

Starting out after college, with a borrowed video tape deck and camera, the soon to be legendary trio created the Kentucky Fried Theater, on the UW Madison campus, and moved to California in 1972, quickly becoming the most successful small theater group. in Los Angeles history. After parlaying this success into The Kentucky Fried Movie, the three conceived the idea that would create a whole new film genre. Airplane! (1980) broke all conventions, featuring dramatic actors like Robert Stack and Leslie Nielsen performing zany jokes with straight-laced sincerity. The spoof became the surprise hit of 1980, beginning a streak of hilarious movies including Top Secret! (1984) and Ruthless People (1986), after which David branched out on his own to direct The Naked Guns (1988, 1991, 1994), BASEketball (1998), Scary Movies 3 (2003), and 4 (2006), and others. David also found time to produce the successful, but somewhat less hilarious A Walk in The Clouds (1995) and Phone Booth (2002), and recently completed a feature script, The Star of Malta, a comedy set in the Film Noir era, and an international spy thriller, "Counter Intellijence!".

Dive into the chilling world of “Prom Night” (1980), a quintessential slasher that still clings to the psyche with every creak of a gymnasium floor and every whispered rumor of a killer in the halls. In this episode, we unpack how director Paul Lynch crafts suspense through tight pacing, moody lighting, and a creeping sense of inevitability. We explore standout performances by Jamie Lee Curtis and Leslie Nielsen, and how the film balances teen drama with grisly murder. Join us as we trace the threads of Casey Stevens, Eddie Benton, Mary Beth Rubens, Michael Tough, Anne-Marie Martin, and Joy Thompson, uncovering the masked terror that stalks a group of high school friends on prom night. We discuss iconic scenes, the film's influence on the late-70s/early-80s slasher boom, and what makes “Prom Night” endure as a late-night fright favorite. Joining in for this discussion of slasher movie terror is Dustin Rybka, the newest member of the Back To The Blockbuster team as one of the co-hosts of the soon to be released spin-off, The Movie Vault!

That Show Hasn't Been Funny In Years: an SNL podcast on Radio Misfits

Nick takes a closer look at the Season 14 episode of Saturday Night Live hosted by comedy legend Leslie Nielsen. Once known for serious dramatic roles, Nielsen reinvented himself as a master of deadpan comedy in classics like Airplane!, Police Squad!, and The Naked Gun. His hosting stint on SNL proved just how sharp his comedic timing really was. From his clever opening monologue on the differences between drama and comedy, to the game show spoof Snap Decision, to a biting parody of celebrity-endorsed products, Nielsen delivered one memorable sketch after another. Nick shares behind-the-scenes details about the show and even includes an interview with Nielsen about his unlikely transition into comedy. This episode of SNL also marked the very first appearance of Wayne's World, which at the time was just an odd late-night sketch filled with rough edges and questionable material. Nick plays it back in full and lets you decide if the sketch showed early signs of greatness. It's a celebration of Leslie Nielsen's comedy chops and one of SNL's milestone moments. [Ep 142]

Para impedir o atentado, ele acaba se metendo em diversas confusões. Ao lado de Drebin estão os colegas policiais Ed (George Kennedy) e Nordberg (O.J. Simpson), além de sua amada Jane (Priscilla Presley). O sucesso do filme original -- realizado na esteira de "Apertem os Cintos... O Piloto Sumiu!" (1980) e "Top Sectet! Superconfidencial" (1984), ambos também do trio ZAZ -- rendeu as continuações "Corra que a Polícia Vem Aí! 2 e 1/2" (1991) e "Corra que a Polícia Vem Aí! 33 e 1/3 - O Insulto Final" (1994). Em 2025, a franquia voltou às telas com Liam Neeson, interpretando o filho de Frank Drebin, e Pamela Anderson, vivendo seu interesse amoroso.

Saudações, ouvintes apaixonados por locução. Está NO AR o 96º podcast VOZ OFF! Neste episódio, Antônio Viviani e Nicola Lauletta conversam com mais uma grande voz do rádio, da dublagem e da publicidade! Nascido em Belo Horizonte em 18 de maio de 1945, filho de um capoteiro e de uma mãe que adorava cantar, ouvia rádio desde criança e nas festas escolares era sempre o escolhido para falar alto em público. Quando jovem, fez um teste na Rádio Minas, que estava sendo inaugurada e foi aprovado para fazer os noticiários. Logo em seguida, foi para a Rádio Atalaia que operava em caráter experimental e, mesmo nessas condições, chegou a ficar em 1º lugar na capital de Minas. Passou pela Rádio Cultura, Itatiaia e Del Rey até que veio para o Rio de Janeiro, porque soube que a Herbert Richers estava fazendo teste para novas vozes e foi contratado, passando a fazer parte do mundo da narração e da dublagem. Sem deixar o universo da dublagem, começou a trabalhar na Rádio Jornal do Brasil onde tinha um programa de músicas clássicas. Também teve contato com o mundo da publicidade, e foi a voz de comerciais para a Mesbla, Cigarros Minister, Ministério da Educação e Cultura e ANAC, entre muitos outros. Um dia, pediu para ser transferido da JB para a Rádio Cidade FM, uma rádio de grande sucesso na época, que era do mesmo grupo de comunicação, e começou a atuar nas madrugadas. Quem vai contar a sua história de sucesso é Márcio Seixas. A conversa aconteceu em julho de 2025 e você vai ficar sabendo que, na dublagem, ele já foi a voz de grandes astros, entre eles, John Wayne, Sean Connery, Roger Moore, Robert Redford e alguns outros grandes nomes de Hollywood por quem tem um carinho especial, como Clint Eastwood, Leslie Nielsen e o seu grande personagem, que o leva sempre a grandes eventos de dublagem: o Batman.

In 1998, we got the sequel to the movie “The Fully-Clothed Gun”, known as “The Naked Gun.” Leslie Nielsen played ace detective Frank Drebin who showed everyone the wrong way to be a cop. Now, in 2025, we're getting the inevitable. A remake of “The Naked Gun” starring Liam Neeson as Frank Drebin Jr. who now has to carry on his father's legacy of being a cautionary tale with a badge who shoots first, asks questions much later, sometimes never. This reboot is brought to us by the same guys who brought us “Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping” and countless SNL skits, the Lonely Island boys. They get some help from Seth McFarlane from the “Ted” movies and “Family Guy.” Pamela Anderson, who never saw a boat she didn't have fun on, plays Frank's love interest. Sorry, no boat scene in this movie. They go up against the evil tech billionaire that I'm sure wasn't at all modeled after Elon Musk. He's played by Danny Huston who slimes his way across the screen. The original “Naked Gun” movies at hilarious quips and sight gags galore, and they landed most of the time. How many land in this reboot and is it worth going to the theater to see?

When a bank heist connects to a murder, Frank Jr. finds himself in the midst of a wild techno conspiracy--and a whole lot of cartoon nonsense in the background!

“Nice beaver.” / “Thanks, I just had it stuffed.  Join Ian & B-Tech Kev for our 290th episode as we suit up, slip up, and dive headfirst into the gloriously ridiculous world of The Naked Gun (1988). We're trading time-travelling dystopias for banana peels, police files, and a barrage of visual gags as we discuss: In slapstick, how silly is too silly? Is there a line—or is the whole point to obliterate it with a steamroller and a tuba? Kev shares stories from his recent trip to New York City: the sights, the sounds, and whether each of us are New York or Los Angeles people Ian talks about the return of the weight game and how this is a summer of inward reflection Ian also shares some personal stories about his father—and how certain films like The Naked Gun carry more than just laughs; they carry memories. We explore Leslie Nielsen's genius—how his straight-faced absurdity became the gold standard for parody. Can a film this silly still resonate in today's comedy landscape? Or is this brand of humour an extinct species? Do background jokes, blink-and-you'll-miss-it sight gags, and tightly wound chaos make this more than just a spoof—Does it become precision parody? Baseball anthems, the Queen in peril, exploding toilets, and a police officer with the worst undercover skills in cinematic history.
