Slapstick Comedy from 90s Gives Preview of Biden Era

  • I thought Lloyd Bridges' Admiral/President Benson in the Hot Shots! films was hilarious when I watched them in the early 90s. Though I still appreciate his performance, watching him as POTUS in 2021 hits a little too close to home.
    ...And somehow the wacky absurdity of the slapstick genre doesn't seem as outlandish anymore...
    Clips taken from 'Hot Shots!' and 'Hot Shots Part Deux!'
