Exploring Self-Awareness and Comedy in 'Airplane!'

This week Paul & Amy break down the 1980 comedy classic Airplane! They talk about Leslie Nielsen's fart machine, what makes the jokes hold up, and more. 
 

Next week we'll be continuing on with our Disaster Movie Summer with the 1998 disaster film Armageddon. You can stream Armageddon on Hulu but don't forget to check your local library or apps like Hoopla and Kanopy!
