Episode 039: Airplane! (1980, David Zucker, Jim Abrahams, & Jerry Zucker)

It’s all a bit mysterious,
Food makes people delirious,
From fish abstain,
To fly this plane,
Surely you can’t be serious?

Episode 038: The French Connection (1971, William Friedkin)

Frog One’s shipment will make you tipsy,
As you’d expect from a French gypsy,
Aside from the blow,
Popeye wants to know,
Ever picked your feet in Poughkeepsie?

Episode 037: The Time Machine (1960, George Pal)

H.G. Welles knew a thing or two,
About travel and time-in-lieu,
Advancing the clocks,
And meeting Morlocks,
He’ll help the Eloi stage a coup.

Episode 036: Strangers On A Train (1951, Alfred Hitchcock)

A tennis player without a loss,
Meets a bachelor with too much gloss,
Politeness can drain,
Riding on the train,
As Bruno suggests to Guy, Criss Cross!

Episode 035: Goodfellas (1990, Martin Scorsese)

Henry and Tommy bleed Brooklyn dry,
With their fingers in every pie,
But Henry flays,
When Tommy says,
“What do you mean, ‘I’m a funny guy’”?

Episode 034: The Blues Brothers (1980, John Landis)

Though the brothers couldn’t be whiter,
For a band they couldn’t be tighter,
In a car ex-police,
Says Jake post-release,
‘Elwood, fix the cigarette lighter’.

Don’t have too much beer,
You’ll never escape from the Yabba.

Frank Sinatra, Sammy and Deano,
Want more from Las Vegas than Keno,
In a town full of sights,
They turn out the lights,
And steal the cash from the casino.

Episode 031: The Lavender Hill Mob (1951, Charles Crichton)

All Henry wants is some more power,
As talk of heists begin to flower,
The plan is bold,
Steal all the gold,
Smuggle it out to the Eiffel Tower.

Episode 030: Men At Work (1990, Emilio Estevez)

A councilman becomes too brash
In Las Playas he make a splash,
At the end of the day,
As James and Carl say,
This is the last year we throw trash.
