Ep. 18: ‘Rio Rita (1942)’ or ‘Heeeeyyyyyyyy Abbbbbboooottttttt!!!’

Zach is joined again by filmmaker Matt Willocks to celebrate their love for Abbott and Costello as they laugh their merry way way through 1942’s ‘Rio Rita’.

Get ready for a festival of giggles as the guys share their first encounters with Bud and Lou, discuss the intriguing behind the scenes happenings for them as a pair during production, have a discussion around frivolous love plots, and get into how the duo’s comedy has endured time.

The duo also get into their own form of silliness as they ponder the amount of injuries Lou the character has sustained, ponder a huge question from Fast Times at Ridgemont High, and find out what happens when Abbott and Costello Meet The Jigsaw Killer.
