Two hosts from my favorite movie podcast return for a second appearance! Sean Dwyer and Frank Knezic from Film Junk are back to have some laughs and deconstruct the art of the parody genre, focusing on the acclaimed trio Zucker Abrahams Zucker. We talk about the origins of the term “spoof,” revisit and review the three films that ZAZ created together, and talk about other comedies that each of them directed. There’s also a discussion over the recent wave of bad parody films, the legacy of Leslie Nielsen, and many more topics throughout. How silly can we get? Find out as we dive head first into the world of comedy. Surely, you’ll enjoy this episode? Footnote: not sure why my track occasionally skips and my words sound clippy at times, but it's not consistent to where it would ruin the listening experience.
