Episode 729 - David Zucker & Jim Abrahams are First Class Fathers, Writers and Directors of Airplane!  Airplane is a cult comedy classic movie made by Jim Abrahams, David Zucker and Jerry Zucker.  Jim and David join me on First Class Fatherhood today to discuss their new book, Surely You Can't Be Serious: The True Story of Airplane!

Surely You Can't Be Serious is an in-depth and hysterical look at the making of 1980's comedy classic Airplane! by the legendary writers and directors of the hit film.

Jim and David share their Fatherhood journey’s and discuss the process of making the movie that would go on to become one of the greatest comedy movies of all time.  They describe what it was like working with legendary actors such as Leslie Nielsen and how they got Kareem Abdul Jabar to star in the film. 

Jim Abrahams talks about his work to bring awareness to the epidemic of epilepsy, which his son has suffered through for many years.  

They offer advice to aspiring filmmakers and give some great advice for new or soon-to-be dads.
