Val Kilmer sent in a demo tape of Doors songs, and he had mixed the songs he sang with original songs from the Doors, and they couldn't tell the difference. That's how convincingly Val Kilmer sings.

As far as modern comedies go, what are your guys’ thoughts on The Lonely Island/Andy Samberg’s comedies? The movie Popstar that came out a couple years ago completely bombed but it’s one of the funniest movies of the past decade.

That whole Swedish bookstore scene still has me crying laughing to this day, almost 15 years after first seeing the movie.

Val Kilmer, that's a name I haven't seen in movies lately.

I thought the cow scenes were too stupid when I first watched it as a kid, I rewatched it today and I laughed every second it was on screen

I'm so used to seeing Colin in a short sleeve polo shirt and Jay in a hoodie that I spent the first five minutes trying to figure out what was different. Thanks as always for what you guys do.

The clip they showed of "Naked Gun" contains proof of why I don't like it as much as other ZAZ product: In the "Top Secret" scene with the tailor, it goes on in the background; no one notices because in the silly world of "Top Secret", of course you get a new suit if you go to a snooty restaurant without a tie and coat. In the "Naked Gun" scene of "wackiness in background during exposition dump", George Kennedy notices the wackiness, does a zany take and look of shock.

I always tell a similar story of Police Squad vs Naked Gun. In "Police Squad", they go to "Little Italy". In the green-screen background are the Coliseum and the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Again uncommented on because it's "normal". "Naked Gun" does the same joke but has Nordberg do quadruple takes and try to get Leslie Nielsen's attention.

I like how Jay says: “the cow is like the main selling point for the moooovie” lol

I remember watching Top Secret with my dad one day. It happened to be on TV at the time as we were flipping through channels, and only caught the last half of it or so, but the two of us couldn't stop laughing throughout to save our lives. Truly, one of those special Father-Son bonding moment.

I've always had a soft spot for Scary Movie 3. It's still dated with the plot being stitched together between Signs, The Matrix, and The Ring; but it has real jokes, and two of the greatest spoof actors Leslie Nelson and Charlie Sheen. Oh, and the kicker? Directed by David Zucker! It's like this weird merger of the old and new style of spoof movies. Check it out, it still gets a cheap laugh from me. There's also a reference to Airplane that must be baffling to anyone younger that saw it!

They have legit studio lighting; you need diffusion screens or flashback prevention makeup to prevent shiny foreheads in HD.

Another noteworthy credit for this movie: music by Maurice Jarre, who won the Academy Award for Best Score that same year (1984) for A Passage to India.
