Akiva Schaffer didn’t want to direct Naked Gun at first - Bullseye with Jesse Thorn

The Naked Gun reboot, like its predecessors, is a very dumb movie. In the best way possible. The spoof stars Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson. It's directed by our guest this week Akiva Schaffer. There's probably nobody better to direct and write a movie like The Naked Gun than Akiva. He has a resume full of brilliant, dumb, joke a minute work: he directed the 2020 Chip N' Dale Rescue Rangers movie, and the cult-comedy Popstar: Never Stop Never Stoppin'. Together with Andy Samberg and Jorma Taccone he is a member of the comedy trio The Lonely Island. The group responsible for the classic SNL songs sketches "I'm On A Boat" and "Lazy Sunday." Akiva wasn't sure he wanted to direct The Naked Gun at first, he gets into why. Plus, we get into why Popstar didn't click with audiences and his very funny work with The Lonely Island. 00:00 intro 00:19 Taking on the Naked Gun 01:17 The spoof movie genre 04:02 What's new in this Naked Gun 05:36 Visual gags 07:18 Liam Neeson and the franchise 08:41 Casting the Naked Gun 09:49 Pamela Anderson 11:16 Pamela's performance 11:49 Akiva and comedy films 13:42 Popstar 16:33 Bash Brothers 19:25 Being dedicated to comedy 20:32 Starting Lonely Island 21:19 Making short films in college 23:21 Channel 101 and The 'Bu 25:21 The limitations of technology 28:28 Hip Hop and The Lonely Island 32:36 The culture of the bay area 34:06 Making things yourself 36:52 Sketch comedy in the bay ara 40:20 The fight to make something 41:19 Outro Want to hear more?
