Abbott and Costello Meet The Podcast

Join Jerry and Nick as they discuss the OTHER comedy team that was under contract to Universal at the same time that Bud and Lou reigned there. Here we discuss HELLZAPOPPIN', CRAZY HOUSE, GHOST CATCHERS, and SEE MY LAWYER, all 4 of Olsen and Johnson's Universal output.

In this episode we look at Bob Thomas' terrible book, BUD AND LOU, and at the terrible TV movie it's based upon. It's terrible-ness in abundance as we look at what boils down to Eddie Sherman's revenge. Their manager obviously had a bone to pick with the boys, and especially Lou. And the movie features some of the worst depictions of Abbott and Costello material you will ever see, or WANT to see. Buddy Hackett and Harvey Korman do nobody proud as we deep dive into these messes. Join us, if you dare!

Join Jerry and Nick as we delve into the sensation caused by those two burlesque comedians in BUCK PRIVATES and the scramble by the other studios to claim some of that gravy. Suddenly everybody seemed to have a "comedy team" in a service comedy. You'll learn about Brown and Carney, Stan and Ollie, Gleason and Durant, Haley and Oakie, and SIlvers and Durante! And for the very first time in 44 episodes Jerry disagrees with Nick about something. :) Join the fun!

Jerry and I have an in depth discussion about Lou's first project as a producer, A WAVE, A WAC, AND A MARINE (Monogram 1944). You'll hear all about the director, the production, and the incredible cast. Lou paid back some favors here and his loyalty is a thing of beauty, especially in Hollywood. We also discuss Ed Watz's scurrilous article on the boys for COMIQUE magazine, a fantastic documentary about "Gorilla Man" Charlie Gemora, and we read and comment on your always welcome emails (I'm at: [email protected]).

IT'S HOLIDAY TIME and in this episode Jerry and I read and answer your emails, you'll hear a letter from my co-author Matthew Coniam, and together we'll watch an Abbott and Costello cartoon, Lou's Birthday episode of their TV show, and THE COLGATE COMEDY HOUR CHRISTMAS SHOW! Tis the season for Bud and Lou, so join in on the holiday fun! THIS PART TWO OF TWO.

On Episode#41 of ABBOTT AND COSTELLO MEET THE PODCAST: SON OF BITS AND PIECES. It's Lou demonstrating his ice making machine. Bud and Lou do Who's On First for the last time on video, and there are 3 appearances of Lou as a solo on The Steve Allen Show. And for the grand finale, Lou proves his dramatic chops on WAGON TRAIN: The Tobias Jones Story. Join Jerry and Nick for this shared experience as we watch these appearances as a group. ENJOY!

Join Jerry and Nick as they explore the boys meeting up with The CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON, and two episodes of The GE Theater: BLAZE OF GLORY with Lou Costello, and THIS LAUGH IS ON ME with Bud Abbott. We can all watch them together or you can just listen to the commentaries we provide. Here are the links in order: BLAZE:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-oZjUjKyW0 LAUGH: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LVBoA_oe0g CREATURE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-j-VlKTIRo

On episode #39 of ABBOTT AND COSTELLO MEET THE PODCAST we take a gander at the compilation film, THE WORLD OF ABBOTT AND COSTELLO, a look at the boys' Universal films based on the success of Robert Youngson's compilation films. We also take a close look at the Lou Costello, Jr. Youth Foundation in 10,000 KIDS AND A COP, a plea for purchasing Christmas seals in IT'S CHRISTMAS TIME, and THIS IS YOUR LIFE, LOU COSTELLO.

It's the end of the trail for Lou Costello in his only solo film. It's a satire of the many "giants go on a rampage" movies from the 1950s, and Dorothy Provine is our lovely giantess. There are many familiar faces in this movie including Gale Gordon, Doodles Weaver, Bobby Barber, Joey Faye, Charles Lane, and more. It's a so-so farewell to Lou's film legacy, but it's nothing to be embarrassed about. There is LOTS of interesting information and a lot of laughs. And remember to press "Like" and please "Subscribe". Thanks!

Here's all the lowdown on Bud and Lou's final film as a team. This ends their wildly successful 20 year partnership, which included 16 years of moneymaking films. Here the boys are fighting actual deadly gangsters (with guns!), as well as the even more dangerous Mary Wickes from the Child Welfare Board! Rusty Hamer is in it (from Make Room For Daddy), and so is Inspector Henderson from The Adventures of Superman (Robert Shayne). Jerry and I both like this film a lot. Maybe you will, too. We hope so.

It's Mummy dearest here in Bud and Lou-Land as they meet Klaris, a giant lizard, and Richard Deacon. It's their final film for Universal and it's darned good. In fact, we think it's one of their better films. Marie Windsor is at her sultry best, and the cross-talk routines are back. This film also features one of their best routines (The Deadly Necklace). Join us for more fun than anyone has a right to have.

Grab your truncheon and your droopy mustache and join us for a close-up look at Bud and Lou's penultimate Universal film. The boys didn't come from this world of film slapstick, but they take to it like champs. Fred Clark lends terrific support, and even the old man (Mack Sennett) shows up to remind us from whence this all came. Join the fun...and subscribe to the channel.

Join Jerry and Nick as they discuss this interesting chapter in the boys' monster series for Universal. This one is problematic in that there are no classic verbal routines, and there is an awful lot of stuntmen falling down a lot. Learn all about the folks in and around the film, and thrill to Boris Karloff as he only plays Dr. Jekyll for $15,000.00.

It's up and away as our heroes traverse outer space, New Orleans, and Anita Ekberg! It's a fun one, folks...better than you remembered. See a rocket go through the Lincoln tunnel without paying toll! See the Statue of Liberty duck! See Venus instead of Mars! But mostly, SEE how much fun we have in this episode.

AHOY MATIES, hoist the anchor, set the sails, and drink some port because it's time to look at this salty tale of the bounding main. Bud and Lou team up with the great Charles Laughton for ABBOTT AND COSTELLO MEET CAPTAIN KIDD. See Hillary Brooke looking gorgeous, Laughton out-mugging Bud and Lou, and some really terrific color photography. Come aboard and join us for the fun.
