from Don't Call Us Shirley! A Parody Movie Podcast · host Film Stories

Welcome to DON'T CALL US SHIRLEY! A PARODY MOVIE PODCAST, proudly sponsored this time by Covfefe Pictures, releasing exciting action sequel Freedom Overdrive II: Hell on the Hormuz everywhere! Hosted by A. J. Black and Matt Latham, Don't Call Us Shirley! explores the breadth of cinematic parody and pastiche across the decades, tackling the great, good and obscure along the way. In this episode, the premiere of Season 2, they look at a personal favourite (of Tony's), the 1993 action movie spoof, National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon 1. Taking aim at especially Lethal Weapon at the height of the high concept blockbuster, Gene Quintano's film fires out gags at the rapid fire pace of a machine gun, but do they all land? Are the films it satirises still well known enough in popular culture to resonate? And will Scotty get the coffee machine working? Find out! Host / Editor A. J.
