"Buckel wessen?" Comedy-Legende Mel Brooks inszenierte im Jahr 1974 eine Grusel-Persiflage, die einerseits nochmal 43 Jahre älter ausschaut – denn sie geht zurück auf Universals ersten "Frankenstein" – und andererseits mehr Blitze ins Zwerchfell schleudert als Frederick Fronkensteen in seine Kreatur. Gab es je ein besseres Comedy-Ensemble als Gene Wilder, Marty Feldman, Teri Garr, Peter Boyle, Cloris Leachman, Madeline Kahn und Kenneth Mars?

Today on another encore edition of the Rarified Heir Podcast, we are talking to Susannah Mars, daughter of actor and comedian Kenneth Mars. Of course you know Kenneth Mars from his many film roles including Young Frankenstein, What's Up Doc, The Producers, Radio Days & The Parallex View and many more classic films. What you may not know and we learn from talking to Susannah was that her grandfather was a comic and radio personality named Sonny Mars who released one very tidy LP & that later in life, her father became known for voice over work in tons of animated movies and shows, none bigger than that as King Trident in Disney's The Little Mermaid.  Susannah also lets us in on what it was like growing up with her cerebral but wacky father. We hear about his lunches with fellow actors and comedians like The Partridge Family's Dave Madden which then somehow led us to reach out to another guest, Denise Gaultier after hearing about her father's somewhat ribald drawings he made for Susannah at those lunches. We also hear about Susannah's singing career, her documentary film, Mourning Has Broken & how she starred in an ABC after school special with Kristy McNichol & so much more. There is so much love and respect and genuine familial memories about growing up with a father it's hard not to empathize with her years after his passing. He made funny voices, she got to watch her dad on stage in St. louis at the Muny Theater and how the cult comedy show Fernwood 2 Night still connects with her & her dads fans. Please take a listen to the latest episode of the Rarified Heir Podcast and enjoy our chat with Susannah Mars. Everyone has a story.

Leaves are falling, the nights are getting longer, and the abandoned Chuck E. Cheese on the other side of our parking lot has temporarily become a Spirit Halloween store. It's officially Halloween season, and this week I have four horror films to recommend that I watch every year to get me into the Halloween spirit. First on my list is Young Frankenstein, Mel Brooks' classic Frankenstein sequel/parody released in 1974. Not all of Brooks' films have aged well, but Young Frankenstein still stands up as a classic comedy. The film stars Gene Wilder as Dr. Frankenstein's grandson, who travels to Transylvania to prove to the world his grandfather was not insane. After arriving he discovers his grandfather's notes and equipment and is ultimately able to reanimate a corpse… with mixed results. Wilder is joined on screen by Madeline Kahn, Marty Feldman, Cloris Leachman, Teri Garr, Kenneth Mars, and Gene Hackman, and Peter Boyle as the monster. Even though I seem to catch bits and pieces (no pun intended) of this on cable throughout the year, I put it on the list because it's best enjoyed all the way through from start to finish. If you remove this one from the shelv but change your mind, be sure to put it, and the candle, BACK.Second on my list is 1985's Silver Bullet, based on a Stephen King novella. In Silver Bullet, a small town in Maine (it's always a small town in Maine…) is under attack by a murderer that turns out to be a werewolf. After a young boy named Marty manages to wound the werewolf, he and his sister set out to determine the werewolf's identity. But when the moon is full, the hunters quickly become the hunted. Starring Corey Haim and Gary Busey, Silver Bullet is a classic that gets me into the Halloween spirit every year.Next on my list is John Carpenter's The Thing, released in 1982. I have long considered this film along with a few others like Jaws and Back to the Future to be essentially flawless films. I've watched The Thing a dozen times and there's not a thing I would change. It's the perfect combination of traditional scares and psychological terror. When researchers discover an alien life form that not only consumes people but can physically imitate them as well, a group of researchers quickly discover who among them they can trust — no one. Starring Kurt Russell and featuring a cast of familiar faces, The Thing is the perfect way to instill fear and paranoia before bedtime. The last film on my list is 1985's Fright Night, a film about a teenage boy who believes his next door neighbor may actually be a vampire responsible for the uptick in murders reported on the news. When Charley's family, friends, and even the police fail to believe him, there's only one person he can turn to: Peter Vincent, host of the late night horror-themed television show, Fright Night. The bad news for Charley is that by the time he discovers the truth about his neighbor, his neighbor is on to him. Fright Night is classic 80s horror — it's a little scary, a little silly, and a whole lot of fun. It's worth a watch if you haven't seen it recently.I hope you are as excited about Halloween as we are here at the Video Store Podcast. Help yourself to a complimentary pair of plastic vampire teeth and fake blood capsules (careful — they'll stain clothing) and take all the candy corn you want (we can never get rid of that stuff). I hope at least one of this week's movies gets you into the Halloween spirit. Let us know your favorite “must watch” films that get you into the Halloween spirit! This is a public episode.

Burlarse de los monstruos quizá los ahuyenta. Los tronados Mel Brooks y Gene Wilder se rieron hasta de su propia sombra en todo lo que hicieron juntos, de los productores, de los westerns, no podía ser menos en El jovencito Frankenstein. Tanto es así que durante el rodaje tenían que repetir las tomas porque no podían aguantar la risa. Eso sí, uno de los motivos que dan la inmortalidad a esta comedia es el tono tenebroso del blanco y negro de Gerald Hirchsfeld, imitando los modos del original de James Whale, así como el respeto a la esencia del texto de Mary Shelley. Wilder y Brooks recurren a las mitologías de Shelley y la saga fílmica de la Universal, añadiendo de su cosecha una serie de gags memorables. El monstruo interpretado por Peter Boyle inspira compasión como el de Boris Karloff. Wilder escribió el libreto original de la comedia, y Mel Brooks se enteró del proyecto durante el rodaje de “Blazing Saddles”. Entre la sonrisa y la carcajada se pasa en un instante la obra de Mel Brooks más recordada por la crítica. Debe ser irresistible mirar fijamente a Igor, ni el propio Gene Wilder podrá con Marty Feldman haciéndole ojitos desencajados. En una de las alucinantes escenas iniciales, el doctor imparte una clase magistral sobre el sistema nervioso y sus respuestas reflejas, utiliza como conejillo de indias a un señor escuálido ante la mirada atenta de su alumnado. El cirujano que renegaba del estigma de su abuelo, el mismísimo Barón de Frankenstein, viaja a las tierras de Transilvania al heredar su castillo. Recién llegado a la estación, le recibe Igor, él podría arreglar esa joroba tan incómoda. ¿Joroba? ¿Qué joroba? Mejor cambiemos de tema. Esa joroba es reversible, cambia de lado según el momento. Con un reparto tocado por la gracia, aparte del gran Gene Wilder y los ojos saltones de Marty Feldman, una divertidísima e inocente Teri Garr, la asistenta de las buenas aldabas, Cloris Leachman, o Frau Blücher, cuya mera presencia aterroriza a los caballos , el inspector tullido surrealista y jugador de dardos interpretado por Kenneth Mars, o Madeline Kahn, la novia del doctor que conocerá los atributos secretos de la criatura y lucirá los peinados de la mismísima novia de Frankenstein. Esta noche bailamos claqué con el doctor y su creación… Salvador Limón, Raúl Gallego, Zacarías Cotán, Chari Medina y David Velázquez

1974 was a landmark year for film, a convergence of exciting international cinema and the original voices of New Hollywood that still resonates 50 years later. In our new series we invite a different guest for each episode to choose a 1974 movie to talk about, ranging from giant blockbusters to minor cult curios and everything else in between. Despite the domination of Coppolas, Polanskis and Cassaveteses, 1974 really belonged to Mel Brooks. Nearly 50 at the time, the legendary comedy writer had risen from his Borscht Belt origins to release two classic films in one year, 1974's #1 box office smash Blazing Saddles and trailing all the way back at #4 highest grossing picture Young Frankenstein. While both films became instant perennial favorite parodies of then out-of-style genres, Young Frankenstein is a true love letter to the Universal Monster movies of yore and a masterfully-made horror flick that just happens to have jokes in it. We welcome back Pink Smoke favorite and wig expert Kate Wilkinson to join our chorus of praise for co-writer Gene Wilder as Dr. Frederick Frankenstein (sorry, Fronk-en-steen), Marty Feldman as Eye-gor, Teri Garr as Inga, Cloris Leachman as Frau Blücher, Madeline Kahn as Elizabeth, Kenneth Mars as Inspector Kemp, recent Oscar-winner Gene Hackman as the Blind Man and true 70's superstar Peter Boyle as The Monster - each performer at the absolute top of of their game. We discuss the film's origins being deeper than the iconic 1931 James Whale movie, whether this is more a triumph for Brooks (who was banned from casting himself) or Wilder (it was his baby) and how it fit into the comedy mindset of the mid-70's.

Elegant and refined aren't words you'd normally bandy about Mel Brooks' filmography, but with Young Frankenstein, they just seem to fit. This horror homage is really a delicate soufflé, crafted with care and dedicated to the Universal horror flicks of the 1930s. Brooks seems to genuinely love the James Whale/Boris Karloff adaptation of Mary Shelley's book, and he's very careful to steer his humor away from even a hint of ridicule. Brooks (who co-writes with Gene Wilder) builds his story as a modern echo of Shelley's work. Frederick Frankenstein (Wilder) is the grandson of the infamous scientist. He teaches a fringe class on anatomy and physiology, which only invites curious questions from nosy students. Frederick is touchy on the subject, and he erupts at any comparison to his grandfather–even their names are pronounced differently. (“It's FRONKEN-STEEEN!!!”) Soon, Frederick receives word that he's inherited the Transylvanian estate of his great-grandfather. He heads off to Eastern Europe, where both his heritage and destiny await.Of course, this is Mel Brooks, so Frederick's foray into his family history will take the form of unadulterated wackiness. First, we meet Igor (Marty Feldman), whose grandfather was once a blathering sycophant to Frederick's grandfather. Once Feldman totters into the story, Young Frankenstein‘s silliness cranks up to eleven. Feldman, who looks like a Picasso version of Peter Lorre, just about picks up the movie and walks off with it. (No small feat with this cast!) He mugs for the camera, breaks the forth wall, and helps Brooks guide this Frankenstein right off the rails.On that subject, another key player in this mad little tale is Cloris Leachman. She plays Frau Blucher (“Neighhhhh!”), the caretaker of Frankenstein's estate. Like Feldman, Leachman realizes that in a Mel Brooks movie, there's no such thing as too goofy. Her severe housekeeper storms through the mansion, delivering stern proclamations and playing the violin like a wild-eyed loon. Poor Teri Garr gets stuck playing it straight in this sea of spoofs.And this being a spoof of Mary Shelley's masterwork, you know we'll have to eventually get around to the titular monster. That means we've got to have another lumbering golem, and this time he's played by Peter Boyle. Boyle has impeccable comic timing.Brooks' film even pulls off the little throwaway moments, like the scientist's office door that has an after-hours dropbox for donated brains. That also extends to Gene Hackman's cameo, which ranks as one of my favorite in all of movie history. But then, Young Frankenstein packs in so much goodness, it's hard to cram it all into one review. I haven't even touched on Kenneth Mars' unhinged portrayal of the local police inspector, or the redoubtable Madeline Kahn, as Frederick's overly vain squeeze. As a cherry on top, Brooks even reached out to Kenneth Strickfaden, the propmaster of Whale's original film.Put all that together, and you've got a unique entry in Brooks' off-the-wall oeuvre. It's not his funniest work, that honor belongs to Blazing Saddles. Nor is it his cleverest, we'll give that trophy to The Producers. That said, this is probably Brooks' most complete film. It's loaded with knuckleheaded gags, and most of them land perfectly. Young Frankenstein is like a raunchy joke, served up on the fanciest silver platter.105 min. PG. DVD and Blu-Ray Only.

Today on the Rarified Heir Podcast, we are talking to Denise Gautier, daughter of singer, comedian and painter Dick Gautier. As we discuss, many folks remember Dick Gautier as Hymie the Robot from the 60s sitcom Get Smart but as you will find out Dick Gautier was no one trick pony. He was a Tony award nominee for his role as Conrad Birdie in the original cast of the Broadway hit Bye, Bye Birdie, he wrote several books and several volumes of books on painting and caricature and he was a ground breaking stand-up comedian who got his start in show business at the Hungry-I in San Francisco in the 1950s. Denise was happy to talk about her liberal and free spirited father who suntanned by the pool, was friends with fellow actors Dave Madden and Kenneth Mars, spent holiday parties at The Magic Castle in Los Angeles and made a life with his second wife, actress Barbara Stuart. But Denise also recalled a dad who often tried to show his daughter that there was another life away from her Jehovah's Witness Mother where she could receive birthday cards and Christmas presents along with a more “worldly' lifestyle as we discuss. We talk to Denise about everything from her father's frequent game show appearances on shows like Tattle Tales & Win, Lose or Draw, his two film scripts he wrote for AIP with Hollywood Squares host Peter Marshall, his infamous Cadillac, being on the set of his short-lived Mel Brooks sitcom When Things Were Rotten and even his comedic take on Quasimodo in a one man show that we need to know more about. Phew that was a mouthful. We even speak a bit about the recent Hulu film Pam & Tommy that directly talks about her life and that of her family. This is the Rarified Heir Podcast. Everyone has a story.

A Mary Shelley Dick Joke: Mel Brooks's  Young Frankenstein There's absolutely no caption, intro, blurb, or description that can capture the magic and brilliance of Mel Brooks's masterpiece (arguably one of three), Young Frankenstein (1974). From a script by Brooks and star, Gene Wilder, two comic geniuses salute, honor, and show great love for the Classic Universal Horror films of the 1930s, 40s, and 50s. With a brilliant supporting cast (possibly the greatest ever committed to film) including Marty Feldman, Cloris Leachman, Teri Garr, Kenneth Mars, Peter Boyle, Gene Hackman, and Madeline Khan, Brooks and Wilder's continuation of James Wales's Frankenstein (1931) and The Bride of Frankenstein (1935) faithfully recreates the Frankenstein World Cinema has come to know and love.

The Little Mermaid is a literary fairy tale written by the Danish author Hans Christian Andersen, first published in 1837 as part of a collection of fairy tales for children. The story follows the journey of a young mermaid who is willing to give up her life in the sea as a mermaid to gain a human soul.   The original story has been a subject of multiple analyses by scholars such as Jacob Bøggild and Pernille Heegaard, as well as the folklorist Maria Tatar. These analyses cover various aspects of the story, from interpreting the themes to discussing why Andersen chose to write a tragic story with a happy ending. It has been adapted to various media, including musical theatre, anime, ballet, opera, and film. There is also a statue portraying the mermaid in Copenhagen, Denmark, where the story was written and first published.   The Little Mermaid is a 1989 American animated musical fantasy film produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation and released by Walt Disney Pictures. The 28th Disney animated feature film, it is loosely based on the 1837 Danish fairy tale of the same name by Hans Christian Andersen. The film was written and directed by John Musker and Ron Clements and produced by Musker and Howard Ashman, who also wrote the film's songs with Alan Menken. Menken also composed the film's score. Featuring the voices of Jodi Benson, Christopher Daniel Barnes, Pat Carroll, Samuel E. Wright, Jason Marin, Kenneth Mars, and Buddy Hackett, The Little Mermaid tells the story of a teenage mermaid princess named Ariel, who dreams of becoming human and falls in love with a human prince named Eric, which leads her to make a magic deal with the sea witch, Ursula, to become human and be with him.   The Little Mermaid was released to theaters on November 17, 1989, to critical acclaim, earning praise for the animation, music, and characters. It was also a commercial success, garnering $84 million at the domestic box office during its initial release, and $235 million in total lifetime gross worldwide. Along with the major success of both Disney's 1986 animated film The Great Mouse Detective  and the 1988 Disney/Amblin live-action/animated film Who Framed Roger Rabbit, The Little Mermaid is given credit for breathing life back into the art of Disney animated feature films after some films produced by Disney were struggling. It also marked the start of the era known as the Disney Renaissance. The film won two Academy Awards for Best Original Score and Best Original Song ("Under the Sea").   Opening Credits; Introduction (1.19); Background History (14.13); The Little Mermaid Plot Synopsis (15.17); Book Thoughts (21.47); Introducing a Film (58.50); The Little Mermaid (1989) Film Trailer (1:02.28); Lights, Camera, Action (1:03.49); How Many Stars (1:50.42); End Credits (1:52.10); Closing Credits (1:53.48)   Opening Credits– Epidemic Sound – Copyright .

Today on the Rarified Heir Podcast we are talking to Susannah Mars, daughter of the amazing actor/comedian Kenneth Mars. We spoke to Susannah about growing up with the man who portrayed the outrageous Nazi playwright Franz Liebkind in The Producers as well as Inspector Kemp in Young Frankenstein. Of course that means we talk about Mel Brooks but it also means we talk about everything from Chicago radio/TV personality Sonny Mars who was Kenneth's step father, additional Mars films like The Parallax View & What's Up, Doc? & hanging out with dad's friends Dick Gautier (Hymie from Get Smart) and Dave Madden of The Partridge Family. Susannah also talks to us about her own career as a performer, actress and her upcoming documentary “Mourning Has Broken”, her father's amazing accents which may or may not be used In LA restaurants, his penchant for elaborate gags at lunch as well as his stage career which frankly we knew too little about. It was wonderful talking to Susannah because not only did she have some great tales about being on the set of Young Frankenstein and being in the seats at The Muny in St; Louis, but she regales us with stories about appearing in an ABC After School Special with Kristy McNichol, her small role in the Jodie Foster version of Freaky Friday and her obvious bond she and her dad shared. She really brings his wild but loving personality to life in our interview. So if the cult TV show Fernwood 2 Night, meeting Lucille Ball on the Universal lot or The Playboy Club circuit mean anything to you, you should take a listen to this episode of the Rarified Heir Podcast. Take a listen.

Hey Friends,Introducing Mel Brook's "Young Frankenstein" to Bob went unexpectedly the wrong direction. It turns out that the oft considered classic might not be so worthy of that title compared to other works in both Mel Brook's catalogue and the 70's. Starring Gene Wilder, Marty Feldman, Teri Garr, and Peter Boyle, the 1974 parody of Universal's monsters in their heyday follows the grandson of Victor Frankenstein, Dr. Fredrick Frankenstein a professor and surgeon trying to escape the infamous legacy of his family name, only to find himself falling not very far from the tree.

The film stars Gene Wilder as Dr. Frederick Frankenstine, Madeline Kahn as Elizabeth, Marty Feldman as Igor, Peter Boyle as The Monster, Cloris Leachman as Frau Blucher, Teri Garr as Inga, Kenneth Mars as Inspector Kemp and Gene Hackman as The Blind man. Hosts: Daniel Levain, Ian Sweetman, and Eric Sweetman. Subscribe thru: Apple Podcast Google Podcast Spotify Or your search for the show on your favorite podcasting software.

Rebinging Star Trek DS9: Shadowplay Hello Star Trek fans! Welcome to Season 2 episode 16: Shadowplay. In this episode Odo and Dax happen upon a little village of people wearing funny hats and white robes. Their sensors aren't functioning as they try to figure out a mystery involving disappearing villagers. And we finally have some B-stories back at the station! We also have some familiar-faced guest stars in this episode in Kenneth Mars and Kenneth Toby. In what shadows do we play? Odo and Dax work together to solve the mystery of the week when they learn of the disappearing hat people. And we all know Odo loves a good mystery (especially when it involves finding people); and he also makes a new friend in a little girl who wonders about Odo's parents. Back on the station, some smaller stories are happening. Kira hooks up with her old friend Vedek Bareil (maybe fulfilling that naked prophecy???) and loses her focus on the scheming Quark. And Sisko starts Jake on an apprenticeship with Miles where we learn of Jake's ambivalence toward a career in Starfleet. What's this rebinge thing? It's a re-watch of a thing you've already seen but love to watch and talk about. We go deep with every episode, walking you through every scene and analyzing all of the characters and story lines.

Otto und Sabrina reden mit Julian Stockinger, Filmkurator und Blogger, und eröffnen die neue Miniserie über vom Menschen geschaffene Monster, mit einem möglicherweise übersehenem Juwel des Genres: die 1974 erschienene Parodie Young Frankenstein (Frankenstein Junior) des Filmemachers Mel Brooks. Angelockt vom bittersüßen Geigenspiel des Wissens, kommen wieder jede Menge Fragen stampfend daher und werden dabei teilweise wissenschaftlich akribisch beantwortet: Ab wann verdient eine Libido die Auszeichnung 'beeindruckend'? Und wie versteckt man sich am besten vor Marty Feldman? Holt eure Mistgabeln und Fackeln raus, schraubt euren Holzarm fest und "holt your horses" (Blücher!)... Zusätzlich gibt es natürlich wieder eine spannende Runde Filmquiz. Schlussroller -> Top 3 Filmparodien

Tread Perilously takes another trip aboard Supertrain with the episode called "The Queen And The Improbable Knight." When travel writer Barney Sweet (Paul Sand) settles in for a trip on Supertrain, he meets Ali (Mary Louise Weller), a perfectly delightful unemployed teacher who is way, way out of his league. But after a night spent dancing in the disco car, Ali vanishes -- replaced by Alison, a woman who claims to have never met Barney. Soon, the Supertrain staff find themselves fielding his frantic claims that trouble is afoot. Will a contingent of representatives from Montenegro joining the train in Denver have something to do with it? Justin declares his intention to become the Trivial Time Travel while he and Erik go on a journey to discover the truth about Paul Sand. Justin rates the attractiveness of 1970s male television leads. He also rates the best coach characters in cinema. The pair disagree on the intended tone of the episode. Erik feels "seen" when Barney reveals several too true things about writers. His amateur anthropology studies once again invade the discussion. The shocking lack of Latverian accents leads to a discussion of guest stars Kenneth Mars and Micheal V. Gazzo, and John Adams ends up on the hot seat.

"I’m the German Ethel Merman, don’tcha know!?" Adapting a non-musical into a Broadway musical into a film musical takes a lot of work, but Mel Brooks clearly had the gumption to do it, and was successful most of the way along. His Broadway adaptation of 1968’s The Producers was a massive hit with records that still haven’t been broken. The question, then, is why the film adaptation of that hit floundered at the box office? It’s a tricky question and as is almost always the case, there really isn’t a clear answer. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we look at Susan Stroman’s 2005 film The Producers. We talk about why Stroman – the Broadway director/choreographer – is on board as the director and look at if that really makes any sense, especially considering some of our issues with the direction. We debate the difference between big, comedic performances and ones that are over-the-top, trying to decide why we feel differently with Will Ferrell’s and Kenneth Mars’ performances as Fritz. We discuss the script and some of our struggles with elements that were left nearly identical from the original. And we review some of our favorite performers and songs. It’s a fun film, even if it ends up struggling under its own weight. We have a great conversation about it all the same, so check it out then tune in!
