The Fellowship is pleased to present our discussion of the classic comedy film Airplane!. Funny February is still with us, and this week we revel in the inspired madness of this disaster movie spoof. It made a ton of money, it made the creators famous, and it revitalized some fading careers. We talk about the movie, its impact on pop culture, the genius of the writing, how it was made, and a bunch of other stuff. Plus our usual tangents galore and our comics picks of the week.
