About this episode

The episode critiques Bob Thomas' book and the TV movie based on it, highlighting their poor quality and negative portrayals of Abbott and Costello.

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!
