The Filmlosophers are back to deliver a DOUBLE DOSE of episodes this week, and they're bringing some much-needed laughter with their discussion of the reboot of a comedy classic: "The Naked Gun" (2025)! They'll dive into how this new version stands up to the original, the comedic timing, and whether it successfully recaptures the spirit of its predecessors.
But the humor takes a turn for the serious as Host Eddie shares a harrowing story from his own screening of the film. This leads to a heated debate with the crew about whether there should be an age limit for movie patrons, and if theater etiquette has been completely forgotten in this day and age.
