PS: The Naked Gun (2025)
We knew it would happen and here it is! Mike, Mark, and Chris discuss the 2025 reboot of The Naked Gun franchise with... The Naked Gun! The film stars Liam Neeson as Frank Drebin Jr. and Paul Walter Hauser as Ed Hocken Jr., with Pamela Anderson along as the love interest, Beth Davenport—an author of true crime novels based on fictional stories that she makes up.The film reunites the powerhouse trio behind Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers (2022)—Dan Gregor, Doug Mand, and Akiva Schaffer—who do a great job channeling the ZAZ flavor of comedy.Revisit the entire run of From the Files of Police Squad (In Color) at http://www.policesquadincolor.com
