Something magical happens when comedy legends decide to revisit their greatest hits. The announcement of Spaceballs 2 with both 98-year-old Mel Brooks returning and Rick Moranis coming out of retirement has sparked genuine excitement among fans who've waited nearly four decades for the sequel.We dive deep into why this announcement matters so much – it's not just nostalgia, but a potential return to comedy that isn't afraid to push boundaries. The brilliant teaser for Spaceballs 2 mocks the endless stream of sequels, prequels, and reboots while promising "The Search for More Money." We analyze the casting choices (Josh Gad as Barf Jr.), debate alternatives (would Dan Fogler have been better?), and celebrate the return of Bill Pullman and other legacy characters.But this episode isn't just about Spaceballs. We explore the promising Naked Gun reboot starring Liam Neeson with Seth MacFarlane producing – a combination that actually looks promising based on the trailer's clever fourth-wall breaks and wordplay. The comparison between these revivals and classics like Blazing Saddles and Tropic Thunder leads us into a broader discussion about how comedy has changed, sometimes for the worse.There's something deeply refreshing about revisiting an era when films weren't afraid to make audiences squirm in their seats while laughing. As boundaries in comedy continue to narrow, these revivals might represent something more significant than simple cash grabs – they could be the gasps of a comedic style fighting to survive in a world that's forgotten how to laugh at itself.Have you experienced the comedic genius of Mel Brooks or Leslie Nielsen?

In this riveting episode of the Cross Examiner podcast, our host returns with renewed vigor to tackle the pressing issues of today, drawing parallels between the past and present. With a focus on the classic film Blazing Saddles, we explore the historical context of racism in America, particularly against Chinese immigrants during the late 1800s. As we dissect the rise of Christian nationalism and the misinformation fueling it, our host emphasizes the importance of education and critical thinking in combating ignorance. Join us for a thought-provoking journey that connects history to contemporary issues and advocates for a more informed society.Chapters:(00:00) Cross Examiner is the Internet's courtroom in the case of rationality versus religion(00:40) Cross Examiner is alarmed by the rise of Christian nationalism(01:31) Rachel Maddow: Blazing Saddles is one of the smartest films on racism(09:20) To hold people's attentions.

A Taste of Evil (1971), Snowbeast (1977), This House Possessed (1981) We're back on the small screen for our fourth dive into the world of made-for-TV horror—which should tell you something: we love these things. Maybe it's nostalgia from growing up in an era when you couldn't stream whatever you wanted, whenever you wanted. Or maybe it's because some of these films were just plain good—tight, creepy little stories that managed to leave a mark. This time around, we're not talking about the crown jewels of the genre, but rather three solid, middle-of-the-pack entries: well-made, weirdly memorable, and wildly watchable. You've got disturbed minds, ski lodge mayhem, and a haunted house that's a little too into you. If the stories don't grab you, the casts just might. Films mentioned in this episode: 1941 (1979), Abominable (2006), Alien (1979), Amityville Horror (1979), Asylum (1972), Beetlejuice (1988), Beyond the Door (1974), Blazing Saddles (1974), Butcher Baker, Nightmare Maker (1981), City of the Dead (1960), City Slickers (1991), The Curse of Frankenstein (1957), Don't be Afraid of the Dark (1973), Dark Night of the Scarecrow (1981), Devil Dog: Hound of Hell (1978), The Devil's Daughter (1973), Double Indemnity (1944), Drag Me to Hell (2009), Duel (1971), Frankenstein: The True Story (1973), Halloween (1978), House by the Cemetery (1981), House that Wouldn't Die (1970), Horror of Dracula (1958), I, Desire (1982), The Dirty Dozen (1967), Jaws (1975), A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984), Night of the Creeps (1986), The Night Stalker (1972), The Night Walker (1964), Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid (1973), Planes, Trains, and Automobiles (1987), Psycho (1960), Re-Animator (1985), Salem's Lot (1979), Satan's School for Girls (1973), Scream of Fear (1961), Shriek of the Mutilated (1974), Snowbeast (1977), Strange and Deadly Occurrence (1974), Suspiria (1977), A Taste of Evil (1971), Three Stooges Meet Hercules (1962), This House of Possessed (1981), The Tingler (1959), Trilogy of Terror (1975), Videodrome (1983)

“I'M NOT AN ANIMAL! I'M A HUMAN BEING!”As you may already know, we lost one of the great ones this year. In honor of David Lynch, we decided to go back to one of the earlier films in his career, The Elephant Man from 1980, starring John Hurt and Anthony Hopkins. The film was nominated for eight Academy Awards, is considered to be one of the greatest films of all time, a critical and commercial success in what would have been David Lynch's second film and put a lot of eyes on his future, incredibly influential body of work. However, despite Lynch being Austin's favorite director of all time, he has never seen The Elephant Man! Well, on this episode, we fix that.The Elephant Man is not known to be an incredibly surreal film, but we discuss the various similarities and signature iconography Lynch can't help but include in all his films, including The Elephant Man. We talk about the use of dreams, the use of sound, and how his sense of humor shines through in a film that more linear than his other body of work.We also talk about how the film approaches the topic of how society treats an outcast with a deformity/disability. It's not uncommon for the Academy to pay attention to this genre of film, but something about The Elephant Man is very different. What might be contrived and cliche in other films feels deeply moving in this one. How does The Elephant Man stand out and distinguish itself from “Oscar bait“ films?We also talk about the way the film was made and how the film differs from the reality of life for Joseph Merrick, the real life person who lived with this condition that lead people to refer to him as The Elephant Man. How does David Lynch go from making a surrealist art film, Eraserhead, to a narratively linear biopic that tugs on the heart? How does comedy legend Mel Brooks go from making Blazing Saddles to producing The Elephant Man? How did a babysitter get her boyfriend nominated for an Oscar? How did this movie invent an entirely new category the Academy had to pay attention to? We talk about all of this and more!This episode was very special for us and took a little bit of time to brew. With the changes in technology one would think more films would be more accessible to view at our convenience, but in fact that not the case for some films that are culturally significant like The Elephant Man. As of recording the episode we couldn't find the film digitally streaming/renting anywhere, but with luck we did manage to find the film on DVD at a reasonable price. After watching the film we might actually spring for that premium Criterion Collection version, because this film really is that special. In fact, the late John Hurt said in the making of documentary “If anyone isn't moved by the end of the film, I don't think I'd want that person in my life.“ We hope you enjoy this episode and seek the film out yourself, or hit us up about a potential screening!Music is from Triune Digital and audio clips pulled from movies we will be reviewing in other episodes.Artwork by @jannelle_o

Parody and satire are a certain kind of humour. They're VERY easy to do because you just base them off real, already existing things, then you twist it a bit to add humour and make it ridiculous. But that's where it gets tricky! Satire is a parody of a real situation rather than fictional, it tends to have a harder edge. Where it usually goes wrong is that people mistake it for something straight, i.e. NOT satire, not comedy, not exaggeration or ridicule. The two main approaches to parody are a broad satire of a genre, like Princess Bride on fairytale fantasy, or a more targeted approach like Spaceballs which satirised Star Wars, and things in between like Airplane, which made fun of the film Zero Hour but also used it as a chance to parody the disaster movie genre and include a shotgun approach to pop-cultural jokes, making fun of everything happening in the 1970s. When I was growing up Mad Magazine movie parody comics were always a fave of mine, I'd prefer them to the actual movies they made fun off. The art was amazing with great caricatures and the humour was always very cheeky. Asterix was another comic series I enjoyed, which involved a lot of historical satirical humour. One big issue with that kind of targeted humour though is that it's often very dependent on its references for the jokes to fully work, so if you lack familiarity with them it won't bite as hard or sometimes not at all. The trick is to include enough of the context for context dependant jokes so that they can work regardless. If you do your job well enough people will not even remember the original and your satire or parody will completely stand on its own! In our Quackcast we even covered things that become self parodies like the Deadpool Marvel Movies, some of the Roger More James Bond films, the late horror franchise films like Nightmare on Elm street, Friday the 13th and so on. What are some of your fave parodies or satires? I think Princess Bride, the Life of Brian, Blazing Saddles, and Spaceballs are real standouts. But things like Lego Batman, Not Another Teen Movie, and even The Toxic Avenger have their own place. On that last one: Lloyd Kaufman is like a B-movie parody version of Mel Brooks, Mel does the A-list parodies and satires and Lloyd handles the crazier, gross and kinky low budget ones Mel wouldn't touch LOL! Of course Meet The Spartans is the best parody ever, so much better than The 300.

Sound and music hold a strange and powerful role in film, TV and video games, aiding narrative and emotional impact. They can even exist in the world of ‘the film' – heard by the characters – or in the world of the audience. Music can even break the fourth wall, travelling through and blurring these conventionally separate worlds.

"Cowboy Carter” album took home the biggest award of the night, earning excitement from attendees and the audience online, but also vindication for Queen Bey. Many believe her latest win was orchestrated to compensate for past snubs, leading to an outpouring of skepticism on social media; particularly given Jay Z's public criticismof the Recording Academy in 2024 when Beyonce failed to secure an award.

Special Monday Edition of our Tuesday Night Crew's Movie Club: Mike Davis, Davey Hartzel, and Producer Amanda for Blazing Saddles.

The Solo Film Club is where I watch all the films I've been meaning to see in accordance to all the film podcast episodes I have saved - is there a better way of saying this? Anyway, I watched Blazing Saddles from 1974 for the podcast Black Men Can't Jump in Hollywood. I grew up loving Robin Hood: Men in Tights (1993), will I also like the controversial satiric western?Episode in question: Black Men Can't Jump in HollywoodInstagram: ⁠CaryMoz⁠Letterboxd: ⁠CaryMo⁠Serializd: ⁠CaryMo⁠

In this Popeye short, Swee'Pea gets into a dangerous factory and nearly dies many times! When people say things like 'you couldn't make this today' they usually seem to be referring to provocative content like Blazing Saddles, but the phrase could also be used for something like this: a cartoon where the central crux of most of the jokes is a baby in life-threatening danger. Modern audiences are not generally accustomed to seeing a baby almost get split in half by a buzz saw. But does that make this old cartoon bad? Not necessarily! Listen to find out our take on it!

The banter buddies are in a festive mood with fine beers to rate, and plenty to chew on from a term paper fact check to movie one-liners, gratifying chores, epic matches, road trip reveries, and much more. A holiday Salut to you!

Drones are flying in hundreds of spots above several states on the East Coast and the response from the White House, when asked what they are and who's flying them and what they're doing, is this: eh -- don't worry about it. If Americans could only trust their federal government officials, maybe that'd be an answer that would sell. But trust in government has fallen dramatically in recent decades. And trust in the Joe Biden administration in particular is at a deep, dip low -- and that's because this White House has been feckless on national security issues from beginning to end. As retired Lt. Col. and best-selling author Tony Shaffer says: "It's like a scene from Blazing Saddles" with this White House. That is to say: comical at best.

And, of course, we'll be peeking behind the curtains… because that's what we love to do on Sew & So, bringing you right into the heart of the action at one of the world's most renowned quilt festivals. This legendary event began in 1974, a time when the world was changing fast. Karey Bresenhan, a visionary, opened her quilt shop, Great Expectations, in Houston, Texas, sparking what would become an incredible journey. Just to give you a sense of that time: President Nixon resigned over Watergate, ABBA's Waterloo was topping charts, and movies like The Godfather Part II and Blazing Saddles were captivating audiences. Nike was filing its first patent, People magazine launched, and fashion was all about flared pants and leisure suits.

On the latest Jagbags we talk the comedy genius of the great Richard Pryor -- a true American original whose comedy sounds as fresh and (sadly) timeless as ever. We talk his comedy albums, his appearances on SNL, the short-lived but incredible "Richard Pryor Show", and movies such as "Silver Streak", "Lady Sings The Blues", and "Richard Pryor: Live In Concert", arguably the greatest stand-up film of all time. Tune in for interesting discussion.

Send us a textMy generation was one of the first to grow up in front of a TV Screen. I guess that's not necessarily a thing to brag about, but it was true. Saturday morning cartoons were a big deal for me. I would get up early and grab a big bowl of overly sugared breakfast cereal and settle down in front of the massive console TV in our basement for about 4 hours of formative brainwashing. That means my comedy sense tends to come from Loony Tunes.Or at least it started with Loony Tunes. Bugs Bunny make that wrong turn at Albuquerque always left me in stitches. As I grew up my comedic sense grew as well and the next bit of comedy gold that became my favorite was The Monkees. Mixing music with laughs was right up my alley. Follow that with my all time favorite, the Muppet Show (which I own on Blue-Ray by the way) and you can get a fair idea of my formative years.In my teens I started to watch all of those comedies I wasn't supposed to watch. Comedies like Our Man Flint, Young Frankenstein, Blazing Saddles, Caddyshack, and of course Porky's. And of course once I reached that milestone of adult hood I became enamored with the darker comedies like Raising Arizona and The Big Labowski.Finally lets not forget that my generation was the one that really started the Big Comedy Concerts. Richard Pryor: Live and Smoking, Eddie Murphy's Raw, and George Carlin's You are All Diseased. They were all funny irreverent, and outlandish.What does this have to do with roleplaying you might ask?In every group I have ever roleplayed with, Comedy has been important. Whether it's just a player breaking up a tense scene, or specifically including outlandish and slapstick situations for fun. Comedy plays a roll.In this episode Christina and I are going to talk about the Comedy Genre. About it's important elements and how it can add to your roleplaying games.Christina, you've heard about the comedy that entertained me growing up, What about you?[Kick to Christina]

The Fellowship is pleased to present our discussion of the kinds of movies that could never be made today. We start off with Blazing Saddles, and it gets pretty weird from there. Plus our usual crazy talk, geek news, and tangents

Yet another pitcher, picking the wrong week to give up things, nicotine teens, several smiles, psych hospital as acting class, some talk on antidepressants, the dangers of do it yourself, EKG comedy, a great silly werewolf movie, the likable Gary Busey, the cautionary tale of Corey Haim, a horrific dance by Corey Feldman, you've got to know when to fold 'em, pizza and coke, a new drug no one needs, and a funny zombie high school movie. Stuff mentioned: Airplane (1980), Blazing Saddles (1974), Pee-Wee's Big Adventure (1985), Smile 2 (2024), Smile (2022), Terrifier 3 (2024), Smile (1975) Charlie Chaplin "Smile" (1936), Modern Times (1936), Silver Bullet (1985), The Lost Boys (1987), Dream a Little Dream (1989), Oliver Sacks Awakenings (1973), Awakenings (1990), Oliver Sacks Letters (2024), My Boyfriend's Back (1993), Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977), and All the Right Moves (1983).

The wonderful, hilarious Gene Wilder will always be remembered for his work in Young Frankenstein, Blazing Saddles, Stir Crazy, and Willy Wonka -- among others, of course -- but the lovable clown also had his fair share of creative misfires. His final effort as director is, depending on who you ask, one such misfire. But it's still a rather difficult movie to dislike, especially if you love (very) old horror movies.

Send us a textEver find yourself caught between a classic game of Mortal Kombat and the latest gossip about Puff Daddy? We've got you covered on this rollercoaster episode of the Nobody's Talking Podcast! We kick things off with a hilarious debate over our guilty pleasures in gaming, touching on how downloading games directly to consoles has changed our lives. Just as things heat up with some celebrity buzz, our resident joker Alabama Joe makes his fashionably late entrance, adding a whole new layer of humor. We also tip our hats to The Breakfast Club for their insights on handling celebrity drama with care.Shifting gears to get a little personal, we tackle some spicy topics about cultural perceptions of relationships and sexuality. From the myths about certain foods to the enlightening yet unrealistic world of adult films, nothing is off the table. Listen as we humorously recall high school memories, like a geometry class incident that had everyone laughing, and the lasting impact of hip-hop lyrics on our perceptions of love and attraction. The mix of humor and candor offers a refreshing perspective on how our views on intimacy evolve over time.Nostalgia takes center stage as we reminisce about the formative high school years, complete with legendary pranks and unforgettable football coaches. We wander through the cherished memories of childhood crushes and how they morph into more complex adult realities. Finally, our retro movie chat brings back the classic films that shaped our cultural landscape, from "Deliverance" to "Blazing Saddles." Ending on a high note, we throw in a lively discussion about upcoming old-school concerts, with Vanilla Ice and Montel Jordan promising a trip down memory lane.

MUSICThere might be a simple reason why Alex Van Halen has never responded to Sammy Hagar's invitation to join him on The Best of All Worlds tour.

Roth had initially expressed interest in the tour saying "I'm in" but Hagar told Eddie Trunk, "He went AWOL. After clarifying the offer, he just kind of went to sleep on it, which is fine. I don't need Roth antagonizing me.” The estate of late Pantera guitarist Dimebag Darrell has launched a new line of liquor called Blacktooth Beverages.
