RMR 0327: Special Guest, Rebecca Davis, joins your hosts, Dustin Melbardis and Russell Guest for the Retro Movie Roundtable as they revisit The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! (1988) [PG-13] Genre: Comedy, Crime, Parody, Satire Starring: Leslie Nielsen, Priscilla Presley, Ricardo Montalban, George Kennedy, O.J. Simpson, Susan Beaubian, Nancy Marchand, Raye Birk, Jeannette Charles, Ed Williams, Tiny Ron, 'Weird Al' Yankovic Directed by: David Zucker Recorded on 2025-07-17
The Filmlosophers are back to deliver a DOUBLE DOSE of episodes this week, and they're bringing some much-needed laughter with their discussion of the reboot of a comedy classic: "The Naked Gun" (2025)! They'll dive into how this new version stands up to the original, the comedic timing, and whether it successfully recaptures the spirit of its predecessors. But the humor takes a turn for the serious as Host Eddie shares a harrowing story from his own screening of the film. This leads to a heated debate with the crew about whether there should be an age limit for movie patrons, and if theater etiquette has been completely forgotten in this day and age. Join The Filmlosophers for an episode that's part comedy gold and part serious discussion about the state of moviegoing today!
Directed by Akiva Schaffer, The Naked Gun is the action crime comedy film which serves as a sequel to Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult (1994). It is the fourth film in the Naked Gun film franchise. The son of Lt. Frank Drebin, Frank Drebin Jr. (Liam Neeson), must succeed in his father's footsteps to prevent the closure of Police Squad and save the world. We break down all things from modernising a 30 year old franchise, Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson's comedic chops and chemistry, to poop jokes and a murderous snow man.
While technically a sequel, Akiva Schaffer's new THE NAKED GUN is more accurately a reboot of the 1988 Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker cop-show spoof, which was itself a sequel-slash-reboot of their TV series POLICE SQUAD and would go on to spawn two sequels of its own. As circuitous as this IP has become over the years, though, THE NAKED GUN remains simple in both its approach and its appeal, which are essentially the same: lots and lots and lots of jokes. The original NAKED GUN was not unique in that approach, particularly within the spoof genre, but it is uniquely successful at it, so this week we're parsing how it balances small comedic one-offs with drawn-out set pieces, contemporary references with timeless silliness, and broad mugging with underplayed straight-facedness. Then, in Feedback, a listener helps fill in some knowledge gaps from our recent F1 episode. Please share your thoughts about any and all NAKED GUNs, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email or voice memo to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.

Editor - Brian Scott Olds The Naked Gun editor Brian Scott Olds knows that comedy thrives on the elements of surprise and timing. He applied this philosophy to every aspect of the film—from physical gags to witty word play and silly sound design. But making a film that respects the legacy of its predecessor while updating its essence for today is no laughing matter. Brian and director Akiva Schaffer had a clear mission: maintain the comedic tone and tenor from the original while spoofing modern-day blockbusters like Mission Impossible. And stop calling me Shirley. Avika Schaffer's take on The Naked Gun features Lieutenant Frank Drebin Jr (Liam Neeson) working as a police officer like his legendary father. In order to save Police Squad from shutting down he must solve the mystery behind.....oh, who cares?! This is The Naked Gun! The plot doesn't matter! Brian Scott Olds Editor Brian Scott Olds is known for his work on Central Intelligence (2016), The Happytime Murders (2018), The King of Staten Island (2020) and Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers (2022).

The guys shamelessly cash in on the dripping synergy faucet of The Naked Gun Reboot.
A lovely week where we have both seen the same films, and in what is becoming quite irritating we agree on pretty much everythingUp first is romcom/thriller for the online dating generation 'F**k, Marry, Kill' available on Prime Video, also on that platform is the star studded political/action thriller 'Tin Soldier'. We are always lovers of a good Western so we turn to Sky Cinema for 'The Thicket' starring Peter Dinklage, Juliette Lewis and remarkably Metallica's own James Hetfield. We finish with one that we had nothing but fear for, the return of Police Squad in The Naked Gun, with Liam Neeson showing off his comedy chops. Hosted on Acast.

Directed by Akiva Schaffer (Hot Rod, Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping), this is a a 21st Century relaunch of the crime spoof franchise which kicked off in 1988 with the original "The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!" which starred the late, great Leslie Neilsen as Lt. Frank Drebin. Well the mantle has now been passed to Oscar-nominee Liam Neeson (Schindler's List, Darkman, Taken) who plays his son, Lt. Frank Drebin Jr. This time around, he has his own crimes to solve kicking off with the murder of the brother of the mysterious Beth Davenport played by Pamela Anderson (The Last Showgirl, Barb Wire, Baywatch). Furthermore, the prime suspect MIGHT be tech billionaire Richard Cane played by Danny Huston (The Constant Gardener, Wonder Woman, Children of Men). And hilarity ensues? Let's find out if this latest reboot can bring the funny as well as the original.... See below for a link to a special video featuring a DELIGHTFUL scene from another movie featuring a needle-drop used within this movie:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77m3XlhQwaIHost & Editor: Geoff GershonEditor: Ella GershonProducer: Marlene GershonSend us a texthttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/
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? Find out in this episode of “Movies Merica Live” with special guest star Adam from “Vets Talkin!” “The Naked Gun” also stars Paul Walter Houser, CCH Pounder, Kevin Durand, Liza Koshy, Eddy Yu and Michael Beasley.

Send us a textRemember The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad? We thought it was hilarious when we were kids. However, we also watched Pee-wee's Playhouse regularly and got excited when Knight Rider came on. So what did we know? We have some predictions. One, it might be a tad offensive, and two, it might be a little 80s-centric, which is okay with us. So join us as we go back to 1988 and watch Leslie Neilson and O.J. Simpson in The Naked Gun.Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
Summer's not over yet, and neither is Hollywood's addiction to remakes and requels! Case in point: The Naked Gun!Akiva Schaffer's legacy sequel picks up decades after 1988's The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!, and centers on Frank Drebin, Jr. (Liam Neeson), who wants nothing more than to live up to the legacy of his bumbling-hero father (Leslie Nielsen). 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! There's been a lot of controversy surrounding original Naked Gun co-writer/director David Zucker's lack of involvement in the new movie, but Earth's Mightiest Critics feel the new creative team has done their best to uphold the franchise's zany spirit.Does this mean that comedy is "back"?

Is this finally the return of the theatrical comedy? The Naked Gun reboot has finally hit theaters, after years of rumors and development. But this time, it's led by one Liam Neeson. I only watched the original movies, starring another actor with LN initials, for the first time a few weeks back and surprisingly, mildly enjoyed them. I have been interested in this reboot for a while though because I generally really find Neeson's ultra serious persona naturally funny and because I miss all-out comedies on the big screen. So, does The Naked Gun recapture the magic of the originals and will it spark the return of comedies on the big screen?

“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. And finally, whether The Naked Gun is the Best Film Ever—or just a walk down memory lane Become a Patron of this podcast and support the BFE at https://www.patreon.com/BFE.

Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of August 1, 2025. The big movie this week is a reboot/sequel titled "The Naked Gun," starring Liam Neeson in the slapstick farce about a group of hilarious idiots called Police Squad. Andy hasn’t laughed this hard in a movie for a long time, even if it did get a little vulgar at times. Another funny sequel is "The Bad Guys 2," an animated family movie about a group of anthropomorphic animal former bad guys who are getting framed for crimes they're not committing by a group of bad gals. Andy highly recommends Netflix’s new documentary, "WWE: Unreal," a must-watch for pro-wrestling fans. And after a bit of a delay, Netflix also has a mostly satisfying sequel with “Happy Gilmore 2.” The brains behind Fan Effect are connoisseurs of categories surpassing nerdy, with a goal to publish a weekly "What to Watch on the Weekend" minisode taken from KSL-TV's Friday segment, and two deep-dives a month on shows, creative works, artists, local events, and other fandom topics. Based in the beautiful beehive state, Fan Effect celebrates Utah's unique fan culture as it has been declared The Nerdiest State in America by TIME, and is hosted by KSL Movie Show's Andy Farnsworth and KSL Podcasts' KellieAnn Halvorsen. Listen regularly on your favorite platform, at kslnewsradio.com, or on the KSLNewsRadio App. Join the conversation on Facebook @FanEffectShow, or Instagram @FanEffectShow. Fan Effect is sponsored by Megaplex Theatres, Utah's premier movie entertainment company.
It seems that comedy is back on the big screen, with the surprisingly effective reboot of the slapstick format of the original films. "The Naked Gun" stars Liam Neeson in the deadpan role of Lt. Frank Drebin of Police Squad. Howard Casner from "Pop Art" tries to explain how the editing of the film is different, Matthew Simpson from the "Awesome Friday Podcast" felt warm and happy seeing the film repeat the style of his beloved ZAZ team, and Courtney Small returns to the Lambcast after a long hiatus, to praise the laughter and casting of the film.

Olen nähnyt alkuperäiset Naked Gun leffat ties kuinka monesti, sekä Police Squad sarjan, joten tämä kiinnosti, mutta myös pelotti. Sillä millainen voi olla uusi itsenäinen jatko-osa täysin uusilla näyttelijöillä? Voiko alkuperäisten taika olla tallella uudella tekijätiimillä? Tai miten toimi uudet näyttelijät? Näistä lähdin ottamaan selvää ja näitä selvitellään arvostelussa. Oletko nähnyt tämän? Mitä mieltä? Entä miten alkuperäiset Naked Gun leffat toimii sinulle?

It's an eclectic week around here at Breakfast All Day with comedies old and new, a little body horror, and a good friend stopping by to share his insights. We begin with "The Naked Gun," a reboot of the classic comedy franchise, based on the brilliantly zany "Police Squad!" series. Liam Neeson stars as the bumbling Lt. Frank Drebin Jr., opposite femme fatale Pamela Anderson. We laughed a lot, and it's only 85 minutes long. In theaters. Next, Tim Grierson steps in to help Christy with a review of "Together." Real-life husband and wife Dave Franco and Alison Brie play a longtime couple exploring their co-dependency when they move to the country. In theaters. Finally, with "Happy Gilmore 2" now streaming on Netflix, we reviewed that AND watched the original "Happy Gilmore" from 1996. Somehow, neither of us had seen this essential Adam Sandler comedy. So you get back-to-back reviews of both movies in the second half of the episode. We promise to return to Movie News LIVE! next Friday. It's been a busy few weeks with travel and deadlines, and we appreciate you being here with us as we're scattered about during the summer. Thanks for listening.

We present our review of the Naked Gun Trilogy!The Naked Gun, also known as Police Squad!, is a media franchise consisting of several American crime spoof-comedies, created by the comedy filmmaking trio Zucker, Abrahams and Zucker. The installments include one television series, four theatrical films, and a video game. The plot centers on a police detective who has a lot of heart, despite having many innocent but comical mishaps. Leslie Nielsen stars in the television series and the first three films as the protagonist Detective Sergeant Frank Drebin; a fourth film starring Liam Neeson as Frank Drebin Jr. is scheduled for release in 2025. The franchise was met with a mixed-to-positive critical reception, and the films were a financial box office success.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59

Crime. Crime never sleeps, it also never tips or thanks the chef. Crime is a heartless son of bitch that saps the goodwill from humanity and sells it for crack and hookers. Lucky for us Police Squad will protect us from crime. Again! And then maybe one more time then about 30 years later. We talk about our favorite jokes and why we think the newest movie will do well.

Aaron Alexander & Andrew Gordon dive headfirst into the hilariously absurd world of The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! (1988), directed by comedy legend David Zucker and written by the Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker trio (Airplane!, Top Secret!). This slapstick classic stars Leslie Nielsen as the iconic, deadpan Detective Frank Drebin, alongside Priscilla Presley as Jane Spencer, Ricardo Montalbán as the villainous Vincent Ludwig, George Kennedy as Captain Ed Hocken, and O.J. Simpson as unlucky Officer Nordberg. We break down some of the film's most unforgettable gags—like the Queen of England baseball scene, Frank's chaotic press conference, the “safe sex” full-body condom bit, and the hospital “he's going to be all right” line that still kills. From banana peels to bee attacks, malfunctioning microphones to exploding opera singers—this movie is the definition of rapid-fire comedy and visual gags. We talk about the legacy of the Naked Gun franchise, its roots in Police Squad! (the short-lived but beloved TV series), and how this movie helped cement Leslie Nielsen as a comedy icon after years in dramatic roles. Whether you're revisiting this '80s gem or watching it for the first time, join us as we laugh ourselves silly and celebrate one of the most quotable and rewatchable comedies of all time—especially with Liam Neeson set to reboot The Naked Gun soon under Paramount and Seth MacFarlane!
