The Naked Gun 2 1/2: The Smell of Fear (1991)

The Franchisees Season 34

We're back and we're spoofin' and goofin' yet again with THE NAKED GUN 2 1/2: THE SMELL OF FEAR. Is this sequel, full of laughs and gags, as funny as the first film? Or is it the start of those dreaded diminishing returns? Or can we barely remember what happens in it and try to avoid talking about it for as long as we possibly can? Listen to find out.

We also talk about our favourite bizarre Toronto eatery Fancy Induced Burger and discuss a few films we've been watching recently including THE THIN RED LINE, ANOMALISA, THE BRIDGES OF MADISON COUNTY, THE HOT CHICK, MORTAL KOMBAT, a Fassbinder triple bill, Orson Welles' FILMING OTHELLO, and EATING RAOUL.

Next week we return with the third and final film in the original run of the franchise, THE NAKED GUN 33 1/3: THE FINAL INSULT.
