This might be the most bizarre film ever reviewed on Time Sensitive, and yet it is one of the most critically-acclaimed. Return to the nineteenth century for a slapstick, furry-infused, Elmer Fudd/Bugs Bunny-style, brutally genocidal survival film. Sam, what's worse than an eager beaver? Hundreds of Beavers, directed by Mike Chesslik.Check us out on...Twitter @TSMoviePodFacebook: Time SensitiveInstagram: @timesensitivepodcastGrab some Merch at TeePublicBig Heads Media

These are serious times we're living in right now, which makes it that much more critical that we pause now and then to enjoy some lighter moments. Instead of every movie featuring drama and potential death, how about some old-fashioned slapstick through some modern filmmaking? We'll talk to the producer of “Hundreds of Beavers” about how a silent movie in black and white is becoming a streaming sensation. You'd also normally hear Joe Zepecki in this hour, but he'll join us in the 7am hour.

Click here to try it out!Welcome back to Bad Dads Film Review! This week, we're diving whiskers-first into the utterly bonkers, wildly inventive indie oddity that is Hundreds of Beavers — a film that may be about trapping furry woodland critters but ends up capturing something much rarer: pure, anarchic cinematic joy.Directed by Mike Cheslik and starring frequent collaborator Ryland Brickson Cole Tews, Hundreds of Beavers is a near-silent, black-and-white slapstick adventure set in a surreal 19th-century frontier. It follows a hapless, hard-drinking applejack salesman (Tews) who finds himself stranded in a snowy wilderness and must learn the ways of the wild—specifically how to trap beavers—in order to survive, thrive, and maybe even win the heart of a fur trader's daughter.What makes this film stand out isn't just its lo-fi commitment to absurdity—it's the hand-crafted world of practical effects, person-in-costume beavers, and cartoon physics that turn it into a live-action Looney Tunes episode by way of Buster Keaton.

*Moonrise*... what happened? This should have been a sci-fi masterpiece. I mean, *WIT Studio*, *Hiromu Arakawa*, *Tow Ubukata*—those names alone promised something groundbreaking! And visually, no complaints there. The animation? Stunning. The space battles? Thrilling. The engrave technology? Fascinating. The world-building? Full of potential. It looked and felt like a triumph in the making.But then the story happened. Or, rather, it unraveled.What started off so strong—an intriguing conflict between Earth and its oppressed Moon colony, governed by an AI overlord—just... lost its way. The pacing is baffling. One moment, you're deep in gripping action, and the next, you're stuck in a subplot that drags momentum to a halt. And the time jumps—why are they so messy? Instead of enriching the story, they confuse it. Jack, Phil, and the rest? They had so much potential, but instead, they feel underdeveloped, inconsistent, and sometimes just frustratingly vague. And the dialogue—oh, the dialogue. It's not even bad in a fun way. It's flat, sometimes forced, and the infamous "Moonrise!" line? Unintentionally hilarious. The tonal shifts don't help either. One moment, it's a serious war drama with genuine stakes, and the next? Slapstick humor. Did they forget what kind of story they were telling?Then there's the ending... or whatever that was supposed to be. Rushed, incomplete, full of unanswered questions—just completely unsatisfying.So, is it worth watching? If you care about deep storytelling, well-developed characters, and coherent pacing, probably not. But if you're here purely for gorgeous animation and space battles, you might still enjoy parts of it. But ultimately, Moonrise is frustrating because it could have been *great*. And instead, it's just... confusing, disappointing, and a missed opportunity.

Normalerweise bringen wir an dieser Stelle eine mal mehr mal weniger tiefe und breite Inhaltszusammenfassung, das können wir meiner Meinung nach aber an dieser Stelle abkürzen. Zum einen, weil die Story von “Hundreds of Beavers” weder besonders breit noch besonders tief ist, und zum zweiten, weil sie nicht der entscheidende Punkt bei der Frage ist, ob man den Film sehen möchte. Also in aller Kürze: Nachdem das Apfelweinimperium von Jean in einer riesigen Explosion zu Grunde gegangen ist, findet er sich im erbarmungslosen Winter des amerikanischen Nordens wieder: Zuerst muss er ums Überleben kämpfen, wird schließlich Lehrling bei einem erfahrenen Trapper. Und beschließt nach dessen Tod, die titelgebenden Hunderte von Bibern zu fangen, um die Frau seiner Träume heiraten zu können, die Tochter eines grimmigen Pelzhändlers ist. Was bei diesem Film im Zentrum steht, ist nicht seine Geschichte sondern seine Inszenierung: Ein schwarzweißer Stummfilm, vollgepfropft mit Cartoonsounds und albernen Gags. Die Tiere - egal ob Biber, Hase, Hund, Wolf oder Pferd - gespielt von Menschen in billigen Tierkostümen. Von der Action orientiert an klassischen Slapstickkomödien und Looney Tunes Cartoons, von der Ästhetik inspiriert von expressionistischen Stummfilmen, von der Struktur angelehnt an Videospiel-Grinds. Ganz unabhängig von der Qualität der Ausführung und dem Remix-Charakter vielleicht der originellste Film der letzten zehn Jahre… Ich habe so etwas in der Form jedenfalls noch nicht gesehen… du, Johannes?

Nueva entrega de Payasos Muertos. En esta ocasión, Jasio Velasco, nos cuenta algunas curiosidades del gran Jerry Lewis, el actor, cómico, director, guionista... y sobre todo, PAYASO. Gran rey del Slapstick, de la parodia y de las caritas graciosas. Aprovechen para revisitar su filmografía. Recomendamos "El profesor Chiflado" y "El botones"

In dieser randvollen Episode des Kinocasts nehmen sich Chris und Eric gleich drei neue Produktionen vor, die unterschiedlicher kaum sein könnten. Von nostalgischen Coming-of-Age-Geschichten über mörderische Intrigen im Weißen Haus bis hin zum chaotischen Alltag in einem Berliner Krankenhaus ist alles dabei. Den Anfang macht „I Like Movies“ (2022), ein kanadischer Independent-Film, der die Herzen von Cineasten höherschlagen lässt. Der Film entführt uns in die Welt des 17-jährigen Lawrence, einem zynischen Filmfan, der davon träumt, an der NYU Tisch School of the Arts zu studieren. Um seinen Traum zu finanzieren, nimmt er einen Job in einer Videothek an und freundet sich dort mit seiner älteren, abgeklärten Chefin Alana an. Chris und Eric diskutieren, wie treffend der Film die Nostalgie der späten 90er und frühen 2000er Jahre einfängt und wie authentisch die Charaktere gezeichnet sind. Dabei gehen sie auch auf die feine Balance zwischen Humor und Melancholie ein, die den Film auszeichnet. Weiter geht es mit „The Residence“, der neuen Mystery-Serie von Netflix. James Purefoy spielt darin den exzentrischen Chefkoch Andreu, der im Weißen Haus arbeitet. Als während eines Staatsdinners ein Mord geschieht, beginnt ein Netz aus Intrigen und Geheimnissen sich zu entfalten. Chris und Eric analysieren die spannende Prämisse der Serie, die an Agatha Christie erinnert, und diskutieren die schauspielerischen Leistungen sowie die visuelle Umsetzung. Dabei gehen sie der Frage nach, ob die Serie das Potenzial hat, ein neuer Serienhit zu werden. Zum Abschluss widmen sich die beiden „KRANK Berlin“, der neuen deutschen Comedy-Serie von Apple TV+. Darin geht es um den chaotischen Alltag in einem Berliner Krankenhaus, in dem Dr. Ben Ritter (Kida Khodr Ramadan) versucht, den Laden zusammenzuhalten. Chris und Eric beleuchten den speziellen Humor der Serie, der zwischen Slapstick und schwarzer Komödie changiert. Sie diskutieren, ob die Serie den Nerv der Zeit trifft und ob Kida Khodr Ramadan in seiner ersten Comedy-Rolle überzeugen kann. Wie immer gibt es in dieser Episode des Kinocasts fundierte Meinungen, humorvolle Anekdoten und leidenschaftliche Diskussionen rund um die Welt des Films und der Serien.

Jan und Eric sprechen in Folge 64 über die Netflix-Sensation des Jahres, die britische Hammerserie "Adolescence". Der intensive Vierteiler ist ebenso ungewöhnlich wie krass - und mega-erfolgreich. Setzt sich Qualität am Ende doch durch? Und was muss dafür zusammenkommen? Krass ist auch die Disney-Serie "Dying for Sex" mit der fünffach Oscar-nominierten Michelle Williams. Sie entstand nach einem Erfolgs-Podcast über Sex und Sterben. Funktioniert das als Dramedy? Cum-Ex Geschäfte der Reichen, der Banken und ihrer Strippenzieher, die Steuerzahler um etwa 150 Milliarden betrogen, gibt es nun auch als Serie in der ZDF-Mediathek - plus Dokumentarfilm. Taugt der unfassbare, aber schwer vermittelbare Skandal als Serie? Etwas Leichtes für zwischendurch ist die Comedy "Späti" (ZDF-Mediathek) mit Wilson Gonzalez Ochsenknecht. Darin gibt es durchaus charmante Momente, aber auch Fremdscham für deutschen Slapstick und Erinnerungen an den Stress aus Sven Nordqvists Kultgeschichte "Eine Geburtstagstorte für die Katze". Schließlich der Dokumentarfilm "Masterplan – Das Potsdamer Treffen und seine Folgen" (ARD Mediathek). Es geht um die investigative Recherche zu einem geheimen Treffen rechter deutscher Kreise zur "Remigration".

Auch das Jahr 2025 will in die Geschichte eingehen. Eine Bühne hierfür ist wieder die Frühlings-Session in Bern. Da geht es diesmal um anrufende Mütter, KI- und Sprengkandidaten oder die Heiratsstrafe. Lisa Catena und ihre «Satire-Fraktion» analysieren viermal im Jahr den politischen Ausnahmezustand unter der Bundeshauskuppel. Sie präsentieren die humoristische Debatten-Highlights und den verbalen Slapstick unserer Volksvertreter und Volksvertreterinnen.  ____________________  Mit: Lisa Catena, Nicole Knuth, Matto Kämpf, Beni Thurnheer, Stefan Waghubinger und Fine Degen. ____________________  Redaktion: Lukas Holliger ____________________  Produktion: SRF 2025  ____________________  Dauer: ca. 50'

Once upon a time there was a man who perfected the art of the pie in the face. This man hosted a 1950s and 60s children's show where one day he got a wild hair encouraging the kids to steal money from their parents and send it to him in the mail promising a post card from Puerto Rico in return.

After his death in 1955, actor and comedian Shemp Howard, best known as a charter member of what would become the Three Stooges, was for years the subject of fabrications perpetuated by younger brother and fellow Stooge Moe Howard in the latter's autobiography (which was published after Moe's death). Those myths have since been debunked by Burt Kearns, author of the book SHEMP!: The Biography of The Three Stooges'  Shemp Howard, The Face of Film Comedy. 

Er ist zurück! Der Genfer Bestsellerautor Joël Dicker hat mit seinem neuesten Roman «Ein ungezähmtes Tier» zu seiner früheren Bestform zurückgefunden. Und die deutsche Autorin Lucy Fricke begeistert mit dem lebensbejahenden Roman «Das Fest». Der Genfer Krimi-Autor Joël Dicker erzählt in «Ein ungezähmtes Tier» eine trickreiche Meisterdieb-Geschichte, die mit grosser Raffinesse geschrieben ist. Sie beginnt in Genf. Etwas ausserhalb der Stadt lebt ein beruflich erfolgreiches Paar. Er ist Banker, sie Anwältin. Die beiden befreunden sich mit einem finanziell weniger gut gestellten Paar. Er Polizist, sie Verkäuferin. Das Leben der beiden Paare entwickelt sich zu einer Vier-Ecks-Beziehung aus Eifersucht und Begehren. Doch dann ereignet sich ein Juwelenraub, der alles verändert. Mit diesem Krimi laufe Joël Dicker endlich wieder einmal zur Hochform auf, meint Annette König, die das Buch mit an den Literaturstammtisch bringt. Ein Mann wird 50 und will nicht feiern. Er hat das Gefühl, im Leben nichts erreicht zu haben. Bestsellerautorin Lucy Fricke schreibt in «Das Fest» diesen Mann «aus der Krise». Sie stellt ihm eine beste Freundin an die Seite, die zum Geburtstag heimlich scheinbar zufällige Begegnungen mit Menschen organisiert, die dem Mann einmal wichtig waren. Ein Buch, das wie ein Slapstick daherkomme und voller überraschender Wendungen sei. Und ein Buch, das das Leben und die Liebe feiere, sagt Franziska Hirsbrunner. Sie empfiehlt es in der heutigen Sendung. Buchhinweise: · Joël Dicker. Ein ungezähmtes Tier. 432 Seiten. Aus dem Französischen von Michaela Messner und Amelie Thoma. Piper, 2025. · Lucy Fricke.

Südkorea liefert mit Newtopia eine neue Zombie-Serie, die Horror, Komödie und Beziehungsdrama miteinander verknüpft. Aktuell auf Prime Video verfügbar, verspricht die Serie Action, Slapstick und jede Menge Blut – doch kann sie auch überzeugen? In unserer aktuellen Podcast-Folge sprechen wir über die ersten Episoden von Newtopia und fragen uns: Braucht es wirklich eine Stunde, um endlich Zombies zu sehen? Warum dauert das Setup so lange? Und schafft es die Serie, sich aus der Masse der Zombie-Unterhaltung abzuheben? Besonders spannend: die ungewöhnliche Prämisse mit einem Hochhaus als zentralem Handlungsort und die Frage, ob sich das Setting clever für neue Genre-Ideen nutzen lässt.

Stan Laurel (gestorben am 23.2.1965) war der geniale Kopf des legendären Duos "Laurel und Hardy" oder "Dick und Doof" - das berühmteste Komikerduo der Filmgeschichte. Von Christiane Kopka.

Ein in Ungnade gefallener Star-Quarterback stellt im Knast eine Footballmannschaft aus Freaks zusammen. Der Film "Spiel ohne Regeln" ist Kult und gilt tatsächlich als einer der beliebtesten Sportfilme aller Zeiten. Wir ergreifen die Gelegenheit und sprechen mit zwei fachkundigen Gästen über das Phänomen American Football. Welche Klischees gibt es? Wie funktionieren die Regeln?

Adam Sandler, bekannt für seinen einzigartigen Humor, spielt die Hauptrolle in diesem Remake des Klassikers von 1974 mit Burt Reynolds. Der Film erzählt die Geschichte eines ehemaligen NFL-Profis, der in einem Gefängnis landet und ein Team aus Insassen zusammenstellt, um gegen die Wächter anzutreten. Doch hinter den komischen Momenten und spektakulären Spielzügen steckt mehr als nur ein klassischer Sportfilm. Gefängnis, Football und eine zweite Chance Paul Crewe (Adam Sandler) ist ein ehemaliger Football-Star, dessen Karriere durch einen Wettskandal endete. Nach einem betrunkenen Autodiebstahl landet er in einem texanischen Hochsicherheitsgefängnis, wo der Direktor, ein ambitionierter Politiker, ihn zwingt, ein Football-Team aus Insassen zusammenzustellen. Der Zweck? Sie sollen als Kanonenfutter für die Wachmannschaft herhalten. Doch Crewe und seine bunt zusammengewürfelte Truppe haben andere Pläne. Mit Hilfe des schlitzohrigen Caretaker (Chris Rock) und einiger knallharter Mitinsassen – darunter echte Wrestling-Stars wie Bill Goldberg und „Stone Cold“ Steve Austin – trainiert Crewe sein Team auf ein episches Spiel gegen die Wächter. Neben dem Sport geht es dabei auch um Rebellion, Gerechtigkeit und den Kampf gegen Korruption im System. Klischees, Klamauk und Kultfaktor Der Film spielt mit klassischen Sportfilm-Klischees: Das Underdog-Team aus Außenseitern wächst über sich hinaus. Der arrogante Gegenspieler wird durch einen spektakulären Sieg platt gemacht. In letzter Sekunde entscheidet sich das Spiel dramatisch. Trotz des bekannten Musters begeistert „Spiel ohne Regeln“ mit cleverem Humor, gut choreografierten Football-Szenen und einem stimmigen Soundtrack. Adam Sandler bringt seinen typischen Slapstick mit ein, doch es sind vor allem die skurrilen Charaktere – darunter Terry Crews als Gefängnis-Dealer für Fast Food – die dem Film Kultstatus verleihen. Interessanter Fun Fact: Das Stadion, in dem das finale Spiel gedreht wurde, war ein echtes Hochsicherheitsgefängnis, in dem einst ein blutiger Gefängnisaufstand stattfand. Das verleiht der ohnehin rauen Atmosphäre noch mehr Authentizität. Fazit: Perfekter Sonntagsfilm mit Herz und Humor

Stan Laurel und Oliver Hardy haben als ikonisches Duo der Stumm- und Tonfilmzeit das Genre der Filmkomik revolutioniert, mit Slapstick und universell verständlichem Humor. In Deutschland wurden sie als "Dick und Doof" bekannt, als populäre Massenware belächelt und in ihrer Bedeutung vielfach verkannt. Von Florian Kummert

Romantic-screwball comedies had to start sometime ... and that sometime was early 1934. And there was a film that took Hollywood by storm ...

Episode 37 - Murdock and Marvel: 1993 Part 2 There are arguments to be made that this was the best year in the history of comics.  There are also a number of ways in which it may have been the worst.  In any case, it was not boring. Welcome to 1993, the year everything that has been building for the last decade or so comes to a head.  This is part 2 of the podcast. that will feature the year in Daredevil, the Spotlight story and the Takeaway for 1993.   The Year in Daredevil  Appearances: Daredevil #312-323, Daredevil Annual #9, Daredevil: Man without Fear #1-5, Fantastic Four #373 and #378, Slapstick #4, What If…? #47, #48 and #55, Ghost Rider #36, Marvel Comics Presents #129 and #136, Doctor Strange, Sorcerer Supreme #55, Thor #464, Punisher War Journal #57 and #58, Web of Spider-Man #106, Alpha Flight #127, Marc Spector: Moon Knight #57, Infinity Crusade #1-6, and Marvel Masterworks #25  Writing: Dan G. Chichester (312-323)  Pencils: Scott McDaniel (312-315, 317-323), Kevin Kobasic (316)  Inks: Bud LaRosa (312-317) LaRosa and Greg Adams (318), Hector Collazo and Harry Candelario (319), Michael Avon Oeming (320), Hector Callazo (321), Collazo and Rich Rankin (322-323)  The year starts with a mysterious fire at a Hell's Kitchen pizzeria in which a young man “Marky” is killed and his girlfriend Lisa Rizzo needs to be rescued. After, she gets arrested and goes to court as an apparent arsonist – so Matt Murdock volunteers to be her lawyer. With Lisa not talking, Daredevil looks into the various patrons the day of the fire to figure out what really happened. In the end we find out Lisa is pregnant with Marky's child and the pizza shop owners set fire to their own store to get the insurance money.  In Daredevil Annual #9, We get 3 different stories. In devouring madness, we see Daredevil break up a museum robbery. On the clock shows a typical day in the life of our fearless hero and Resurrection shows Calypso resurrect a zombie to fight Daredevil.  Next, Daredevil takes on a new incarnation of Mr. Fear… Shock who is Alan Fagan's (the original Fear) daughter. The story, however, turns a bit weird as Shock enlists Taskmaster, the Wildboys and Stiltman to go after Daredevil – with the ending in issue 318 that's played off as silly more than anything. The issue itself has a weird “That's it folks! The last issue of Daredevil Before… Daredevil #319” on the cover. I had no idea what that meant until…  Issue 319 starts the final story arch of the year… Fall from Grace. This year we get a prologue and the first 4 chapters of the story (which appears to go through issue 325 – February 1994). We'll speak in more detail about this story during our spotlight.  In Daredevil: Man without Fear we get a thorough retelling of the Daredevil origin story as well as his relationship with Elektra. This 5-book story was written by Frank Miller and penciled by John Romita Jr (Al Williamson on inks). This story goes into far more detail than what we got originally. We also see how Kingpin came into power as well as introduced to a few new characters (Mickey/Lars). Despite knowing the story well, I really enjoyed this series. It looked amazing.  This Week's Spotlight: #319 August 1993 “Fall From Grace Prologue: Temptation” through Daredevil #323 December 1993 “Fall From Grace Chapter 4: Conflict” Recap Why We Picked This Story Daredevil Rapid Fire Questions The Takeaway Garbage in, Garbage out.

Tucker and Dale vs. Evil (2011) is a horror-comedy that flips the usual "backwoods killer" trope on its head. It follows two well-meaning but misunderstood hillbillies, Tucker and Dale, who just want to fix up their cabin in the woods. But when a group of college students mistakenly assume they're dangerous killers, a series of absurd and darkly funny misunderstandings ensues. The film blends humor and horror, using clever twists and character mix-ups to keep the laughs and thrills coming. To hear our reviews and ratings before you watch , jump to 00:50:55

Just about every woman at MGM  found a role in this slapstick comedy about toxic friendships and what (we'd like to hope) are archaic gender dynamics. SUPPORT THE SHOW: PATREONFOLLOW THE SHOW: INSTAGRAM // TWITTER // TIKTOK // YOUTUBEEMAIL THE SHOW: abreathoffreshmovie@gmail.com  SHOP THE SHOW: TEE PUBLIC 

War wieder eine sehr anstrengende Zeit für unseren Cheftrainer. So viele Spiele, schöne Sachen dabei, aber Ewald mußte sich auch wieder über einiges aufregen. Abwehrspieler generell, Kohr und privat lief auch nicht alles rund...

When we talk about The Naked Gun (1988), we're diving headfirst into a comedy treasure chest—one filled with absurdity, brilliant wordplay, and visual gags that just don't stop. This Zucker, Abrahams, and Zucker (ZAZ) film, starring the ever-stoic Leslie Nielsen as the bumbling detective Lt. Frank Drebin, stands as one of the defining examples of slapstick parody. It's a film that has aged remarkably well, continuing to resonate with new audiences and reminding those who saw it back in 1988 just how funny an entirely ridiculous movie can be.Plot and Storytelling: Simplicity at its FunniestAt its core, The Naked Gun is a detective story—a genre that's been spoofed many times but never quite with the same flair as this film. The plot revolves around Lt. Drebin, a man dedicated to solving crimes but utterly incapable of doing so with any amount of skill or professionalism. In The Naked Gun, Drebin is tasked with thwarting a plot to assassinate Queen Elizabeth II during her visit to Los Angeles. The story quickly evolves into a chaotic blend of police procedural satire, ridiculous missteps, and wildly inappropriate antics, all the while managing to maintain an air of sincerity, thanks to Nielsen's deadpan performance.The film plays it smart by not worrying too much about the intricacies of the plot. Instead, it focuses on building its jokes around the absurdity of the situation and the cluelessness of its characters. It's almost as if the ZAZ team were saying, “We know the plot's thin, but you're here for the laughs, right?” And laugh we do—from the first moment to the iconic final act at the baseball stadium. Whether it's a visual gag or a clever line of dialogue, every scene is packed with humour.The Genius of Leslie Nielsen: Deadpan PerfectionBefore The Naked Gun, Leslie Nielsen had a long career in more serious roles but found his true calling as a comedic actor in Airplane! (1980)—also directed by ZAZ. That film launched Nielsen's second wind as a parody star, and his portrayal of Frank Drebin cemented his legacy as the king of deadpan humour. The genius of Nielsen lies in his ability to deliver the most ridiculous lines with the gravitas of a Shakespearean actor. There's no winking at the camera or over-the-top physical comedy; Nielsen plays it as straight as possible, making the absurdity around him even funnier.Take, for example, one of the film's most famous lines: “Nice beaver.” Drebin says this with no awareness of the double entendre, but when Jane Spencer (Priscilla Presley) responds by handing him a literal stuffed beaver, the joke lands perfectly. This sort of naive, deadpan delivery that Nielsen mastered makes Frank Drebin one of the most lovable oafs in cinematic history.Supporting Cast: A Perfect EnsembleOf course, Nielsen is supported by a stellar cast, each contributing to the film's comic rhythm. Priscilla Presley plays Jane Spencer, Drebin's love interest, and her straight-laced performance brilliantly complements Nielsen's obliviousness. The chemistry between Presley and Nielsen feels oddly genuine, grounding the film just enough to allow the wild antics around them to feel even more surreal.George Kennedy, as Drebin's partner, Captain Ed Hocken, provides another layer of deadpan delivery, playing the more serious cop who happens to be swept along by Drebin's incompetence. Meanwhile, Ricardo Montalbán, as the villain Vincent Ludwig, brings an elegant, almost Bond-villain-style menace to the role, perfectly contrasting Drebin's clumsy crime-fighting attempts. Montalbán's role is particularly memorable for how seriously he seems to take his part—his dignity adding to the hilarity of the situations he finds himself in.Slapstick and Sight Gags: Nonstop and RelentlessZucker, Abrahams, and Zucker excel in their unique brand of humour, and The Naked Gun is no exception. The film is filled with sight gags that reward multiple viewings. For instance, in the opening scene, Drebin foils an international conspiracy while hilariously bumbling his way through a fight with some of the world's most notorious villains. The film doesn't waste a moment to make you laugh—whether it's Drebin inadvertently causing chaos during a press conference or his notorious attempt to sing the national anthem at a baseball game.One standout moment is the baseball stadium scene, where Drebin, disguised as an umpire, ends up calling the game. This sequence showcases Nielsen's impeccable timing and the film's mastery of physical comedy. Drebin's complete misunderstanding of how baseball works leads to a series of increasingly ridiculous events, all while keeping the assassination plot in the background. It's a perfect example of how The Naked Gun balances slapstick with satire, layering gags on top of each other for maximum effect.Pop Culture and Cultural Impact: The Birth of a ClassicThe Naked Gun was an instant hit when it was released, not just because it was funny, but because it tapped into something fresh at the time: the spoof genre had been gaining steam in the 1980s, but few films did it as relentlessly or as successfully as The Naked Gun. Its success spawned two sequels—The Naked Gun 2½: The Smell of Fear (1991) and The Naked Gun 33⅓: The Final Insult (1994)—both continued Drebin's absurd adventures.But the film's influence extended beyond its sequels. It paved the way for other parody films, helping solidify the ZAZ brand of comedy, which had already been popularised by Airplane! and Top Secret! (1984). It also led to an entire generation of comedies that relied on rapid-fire jokes and visual gags, like Hot Shots! (1991) and Scary Movie (2000). Even modern-day comedy shows, like Brooklyn Nine-Nine, owe a debt to The Naked Gun for its ability to blend procedural elements with comedy.The Enduring Legacy of Frank DrebinThe Naked Gun remains a beloved comedy classic over three decades after its release. Part of that is due to its unique combination of clever wordplay, slapstick humour, and pure silliness, but it's also because of the character of Frank Drebin. In a sea of competent, smooth-talking detectives, Drebin is a breath of fresh air—a man who's as clueless as he is sincere. There's something timeless about how Leslie Nielsen approaches the role, never once letting Drebin become a caricature but always playing him with heart, no matter how foolish he seems.For fans of parody, The Naked Gun is essential viewing. It's the kind of film you can watch repeatedly and still find something new to laugh at. Whether you're a die-hard fan revisiting the movie or a newcomer discovering Drebin's antics for the first time, The Naked Gun never fails to deliver pure comedic gold.So, if you haven't yet revisited this classic, now's the time. Just be prepared to laugh—over and over again.

We are hoping not to be picked last, with our selections this week: Heavyweights (1995) and Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story (2004). Both movies feature the classic underdog trope, while reminding everyone of the fun of gym / recess games.

Welcome to Afterthoughts! Join us as we discuss the time Ryan got lost in the woods and had a hilarious encounter with Hundreds of Beavers (2024). This modern slapstick extravaganza is basically what would happen if Charlie Chaplin did Paul Thomas Anderson levels of cocaine and then tried to make a live action version of a Wile E. Coyote episode. It's glorious.

Hosts Will Beaman (@agoingaccount) and Scott Ferguson (@videotroph) welcome Maggie Hennefeld (@magshenny) to the Superstructure podcast to discuss her essay, “Make America Laugh Again,” published in Minneapolis's Star Tribune. Previously ridiculed, Kamala Harris's signature laughter has emerged as an electrifying rallying cry for her last-minute candidacy for President of the United States. “Harris' laughter has become a national symbol of collective healing,” Hennefeld argues, “affirming the powers of contagious joy to unite community across the bitter divisions of culture and identity. … [L]aughter is a lifeline for resistance against the global onslaught of authoritarian hate and fearmongering.” Analyzing the carnivalesque slogans and memes surrounding the Harris campaign, our conversation draws surprising parallels between feminist laughter in fin-de-siècle cinema and in contemporary online cultures. Maggie Hennefeld is a feminist scholar of silent cinema and professor in the Cultural Studies and Comparative Literature Department at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities. She is the author of Death by Laughter: Female Hysteria and Early Cinema (Columbia University Press, 2024) and Specters of Slapstick and Silent Film Comediennes (Columbia University Press, 2018). She is also co-curator of the four-disc DVD/Blu-ray set Cinema's First Nasty Women. Music: "Yum" from "This Would Be Funny If It Were Happening to Anyone but Me" EP by flirting.flirtingfullstop.bandcamp.com/Twitter: @actualflirting

Today on the Rarified Heir Podcast we are talking to Christopher Lewis, son of entertainer & human juggernaut, the one, the only, Jerry Lewis. Chris was kind enough to reach out to us via a mutual connection at the Library of Congress and was pretty terrific about answering all our questions, big and small about the man known as “The King of Comedy.” The impetus for our chat was Chris' book Jerry Lewis on Being a Person, a 300+ page book is packed with photos, ruminations, life lessons, antidotes and more. It's a wonderful look at a complex comedian, director, writer, producer, golfer and philanthropist. Chris talked to us about his father and was frank about why he looks at his father with “rose colored glasses,” his father's lust for life and everything in between. Somehow we get to a vast amount of information on “Le Roi du Crazy” as the French called him. Our discussion hits everything from his love of audio and video technology to just how much of the Jerry Lewis archive was delivered to the Library of Congress. We also spoke about culturally significant high points like his guest appearance on Pink Lady and Jeff ans Slapstick (of Another Kind). Along the way we get to talking about The Day the Clown Cried, an true art imitates life Rupert Pupkin stalking situation that had everyone in the family on edge, why handshake deals were so important to Jerry and what comedians made Jerry Lewis laugh. All you have to do is sit back and listen to this episode of the Rarified Heir Podcast. Take a listen.

GOOD EVENING: The show begins in Charlie Chaplin's studio in Hollywood -- he owned everything -- where he created the genius of The Great Dictator (1940), a mocking slapstick about the Hitlerites that was an accurate prelude to the horror. Then to the planet Earth without humans, asking how canines would fare without masters. To New South Wales after 13 days of rain, breaking records and welcoming a La Niña winter. To the asteroid belt, looking forward to a conversation in the coming weeks about a sample return mission to Bennu. 1895 Paris
