    The Naked Gun 33 1/3 - The Final Insult

    “I treated him like my brother – the one I didn’t kill.”In a desperate bid for topical relevancy, we thought the release of The Naked Gun reboot was a good reason to go back and review the only entry in that series to feature an exploding helicopter: The Naked Gun 33 1/3 – The Final Insult.Joining us on this show is Doug Tilley (that’s t-i-l-l-E-y] from Cinema Smorgasbord. We discuss the fate of theatrical comedies, the film’s bizarre WWE tie-in, and a unique (well, almost) exploding helicopter.Episode 162.Show notesFollow Exploding HelicopterBluesky: @chopperfireball.bsky.socialWebsite: explodinghelicopter.comInstagram: explodinghelicopterFind Cinema Smorgasbord Website: cinemasmorgasbord.comFacebook: facebook.com/groups/cinemasmorgasbord/Bluesky: cinemasmorgasbord.bsky.social
