Cinema Smorgasbord – George Kennedy is my Copilot – Wacko (1982)

We’re getting silly on a brand new episode of George Kennedy is my Copilot with Greydon Clark’s Airplane-inspired horror spoof WACKO from 1982 featuring Joe Don Baker, Stella Stevens, Julia Duffy, Andrew “not yet Dice” Clay and – of course – George Kennedy as the kinda creepy Mr. Doctor Graves! It’s full of sight gags, puns, Hitchcock references and not a heck of a lot else. We also fit in a discussion on the Clint Black video for “Summer’s Comin'” which features a lovely George Kennedy cameo (amongst a slew of other celebs). CHECK IT OUT!

Cinema Smorgasbord – George Kennedy is my Copilot – The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad (1988)

On this episode of GEORGE KENNEDY IS MY COPILOT we’re getting spoofy with 1988’s THE NAKED GUN: FROM THE FILES OF POLICE SQUAD, starring Leslie Nielsen as Detective Frank Drebin, who is trying to uncover a plot to assassinate the Queen. It’s a big-screen adaptation of the short-lived TV spoof TV show from the creators of AIRPLANE! and TOP SECRET!, and BOY our hosts have differing opinions on its quality. We also go in-depth on the classic 70s game show MATCH GAME, and check out George Kennedy’s first appearance on it. It’s chock full o’ nuts, so check it out!
