Episode 150 and we have a legend on. It’s David Zucker, he of The Naked Gun and Airplane fame. 

He is as funny and witty and irreverent as you would hope he would be.

David tells us the story of how he got Airplane made, we talk about the puns of it all and why he doesn’t like the new Naked Gun movie.

He talks about spoofs, his new project the Star of Malta and the self-confidence to move to Hollywood.

We hear about when he was king of Hollywood, how they tricked the DGA into letting three of them direct a movie and his new course - Master Crash - https://mastercrash.kit.com/join

A fittingly insightful conversation for episode 150 with a true Hollywood legend.
