Viva Pod Vegas s2e3 – The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! (1988)
Our grab bag of a second season continues with Priscilla Presley in The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! After reading through some new emails and Spotify comments, Joey shares a lack of trivia (but ample Crazy Credits). We talk about our histories with Leslie Nielsen movies, then admire how much Priscilla kills it in this movie, regardless of how much (or how little) she is given to do. We then take a look at her (minimal) film career, reflect back on the the reaction to seeing her star in these movies, and simply talk about how funny she is through this movie. We also talk about “why” these movies work (and how Priscilla plays into that), as well as our favorite jokes, sequences, and bits form The Naked Gun.
