Over the course of his long and distinguished career, Rob Reiner has directed some of the most beloved and acclaimed films in Hollywood history. But he had never directed a sequel until ‘Spinal Tap 2: The End Continues.' In this episode, Reiner breaks down why he decided to reunite with Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, and Harry Shearer for one last mockumentary 41 years after they invented the genre with ‘This Is Spinal Tap.' He talks about how the comedy of the film has evolved now that they are in their 70s and 80s, and the secret to playing the straight man opposite someone as effortlessly funny as Guest. Reiner also gets into the state of America under Trump 2.0, how Elon Musk drove him away from Twitter, and what he learned about being a politically outspoken celebrity from Norman Lear and Jane Fonda. Finally, he reflects on his relationship with his late father Carl Reiner, recalls the first time he met Mel Brooks, and considers the enduring legacy of classic films like ‘The Princess Bride' and ‘When Harry Met Sally.'Follow Matt Wilstein on Bluesky @mattwilstein Follow The Last Laugh on Instagram @lastlaughpodHighlights from this episode and others at The Daily Beast Hosted on Acast.

A new era begins in this 686th edition of Have You Ever Seen as Ryan talks about David Lynch's mainstream breakout after Eraserhead got him noticed by this film's executive producer, Mel Brooks. The Elephant Man stars Oscar nominee John Hurt in the title role and Anthony Hopkins as his sympathetic doctor. Unusual for Lynch, his B&W biographical character piece doesn't have sex, gory violence or bad language. It's just a sensitive, affecting, sometimes sad tale about compassion, acceptance and goodness. And also John/Joseph Merrick's life-changing deformities. Hurt's makeup really was incredible. So lay down for a nap, but make sure to put your earbuds in before you doze off as this show digs into The Terrible Elephant Man.

We criticize the lack of preparation by sports broadcasters, and compare past incidents like the 2013 Super Bowl blackout.

We finish our football talk discussing the insertion of ads into the NFL Red Zone.We highlight IMBDs list of their 250 user rated shows. Specifically, we compare this list to shows that have never won an Emmy. Which shows from the list never won the coveted award?

We've been on a run of serious films, so it was time to mix in a Western comedy. At least, that's what this movie is supposed to be, but this is a comedy without a whole lot of jokes. We have some diverging opinions on this one, mostly coming down to the script, because this should be a much better movie than it is. But you can bet we both agree that James Garner is one of the most charming cutie-pies ever. Make sure to order the bars for the jail while we watch Support Your Local Sheriff! on Have a Good Movie!

THE SWIMMER (1968) We dive deep in to The Swimmer and discuss and analyze, maybe just a little bit the glorious film directed by Frank Perry, based on a screenplay by Eleanor Perry, from the 12 page short story by John Cheever. "Well-off ad man Ned Merrill (Burt Lancaster) is visiting a friend when he notices the abundance of backyard pools that populate their upscale suburb. Ned suddenly decides that he'd like to travel the eight miles back to his own home by simply swimming across every pool in town."If you're reading this I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support.

What is the state of the stream-of-gags formula that used to stand tall in the films of the Zucker Brothers (mainly Airplane) and Mel Brooks? A new generation attempts to revive that with a new Naked Gun film. How does this new effort relate to the classic films? Are these kinds of films particularly timeless? Rewatchable? Do young people appreciate this kind of thing? Mark, Lawrence, Sarahlyn, and (for the third or so) Al speculate wildly as usual.

Skriv til os!Martin er med igen og denne gang for at pege på noget helt nyt og igangværende med den seneste sæson af Klovn samt en hyldest til spoof-genren, som har været igennem mange faser siden Edwin S. Porter med The Little Train Robbery i 1905 latterliggjorde sin egen The Great Train Robbery fra 1903. Gutterne kommer igennem Mel Brooks, Monty Python, ZAZ-filmene der altid skulle slutte med udråbstegn og naturligvis Scary Movie-franchisen. Hvor går grænsen egentlig mellem satire, parodi og spoof og hvor meget kan en film være bevidst sin genre? Det er værd at overveje når man skal udpege de helt rigtige til to gange top 4-lister.

Aimee shares her passion for preserving history and discusses the challenges and rewards of transforming historic buildings into vibrant, functional spaces. From the streets of downtown Dallas to the lush landscapes of Key West, discover the intricate process and the meticulous attention to detail involved in preserving architectural heritage while breathing new life into old structures. This episode is a must-watch for architects, designers, and anyone interested in the intersection of history and modern hospitality.Takeaways: Embrace challenges and view constraints as opportunities to innovate. Adaptive reuse projects are known for their "gremlins" and challenges, but these major challenges can lead to an innovative, celebrated solutionAlways consider the end-user's experience first. In hospitality design, it's about making people feel connected to a place, its story, and a bespoke experience. creating designated lobbies and preventing cross-circulation between different uses, such as luxury condos and the public domain, to enhance the resident's experience.During economic downturns or challenging times, focus on maintaining quality, supporting your team, and staying optimistic. Despite the hospitality design world experiencing a recession with fewer projects since COVID-19, remaining true to yourself When working on historic buildings, focus on creating a narrative that connects people to the place and its past. This branding and storytelling can be carried throughout the project, from the hotel component to other uses within a vertically integrated mixed-use development.A key to successful adaptive reuse is "purposeful preservation," which involves celebrating a building's history and unique characteristics while thoughtfully adapting it for new uses. This includes bringing new life to spaces in a way that feels fresh and welcoming.Leverage historic tax credits, as they can be a significant financial driver for adaptive reuse projects.Quote of the Show:“When it comes to historic buildings, it's about bringing new life to the spaces in a way that reflects their past, and makes them feel fresh and welcoming.” - Aimee SanbornLinks:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aimee-sanborn-aia-ncarb-3b6b5944/ Website: https://www.premierpm.com/ Shout Outs:1:08 - Hector Sanchez https://www.linkedin.com/in/hector-a-sanchez-65799b7/ 6:34 - The National https://www.thenationaldallas.com/ 11:29 - Gail Nall https://www.linkedin.com/in/gale-nall-26ab1420/ 18:34 - Loucchese https://www.lucchese.com/ 18:36 - Chick-fil-A https://www.chick-fil-a.com/ 19:09 - Thompson Hotel Dallas https://www.thenationaldallas.com/thompson-hotel/ 19:30 - Monarch https://www.monarchrestaurants.com/about/ 19:58 - Renaissance Tower https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renaissance_Tower_(Dallas) 21:09 - Ashford https://www.ashfordinc.com/ 21:39 - Braemar https://www.bhrreit.com/25:54 - Franklin Pinerua https://www.linkedin.com/in/franklin-pi%C3%B1er%C3%BAa-3a268092/ 25:57 - Johannes Michalsky https://www.linkedin.com/in/johannes-michalsky-80166b77/ 42:57 - Mel Brooks https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mel_Brooks 43:56 - Texas Historic Commission https://thc.texas.gov/ 45:56 - La Pavillion New Orleans https://www.lepavillon.com/ 45:58 - Le Méridien Forth Worth https://www.marriott.com/en-us/hotels/dalwm-le-meridien-fort-worth-downtown/overview/ 48:41 - La Concha Key West https://www.laconchakeywest.com/ 49:20 - Ernest Hemingway https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernest_Hemingway
If you've ever seen Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves with Kevin Costner… imagine that, but now imagine it directed by Mel Brooks, with every serious moment turned into a joke—and you've got Men in Tights.Released in 1993, the film follows Robin of Locksley, a nobleman who returns home from the Crusades to find his land taken by the villainous Prince John and his right-hand thug Sheriff of Rottingham. He assembles a band of misfit Merry Men—including Little John, Will Scarlet O'Hara, and Ahchoo—to take down the corrupt monarchy, win back his land, and save Maid Marian, whose chastity belt is under lock and key... literally.It's a musical, it's a parody, it's full of slapstick and sarcasm—and it's pure Mel Brooks.If you are new to the podcast then please consider following us on the platform that you love, we can be found most anywhere that you listen to your favorite podcasts.

Today on another encore edition of the Rarified Heir Podcast, we are talking to Peter Knego, son of actor Peter Coe and model Rosalee Calvert. Peter doesn't pull many punches on this episode as we discuss the mercurial character that was his father. Known for his roles in films from the 1940s onward, be it Gung Ho!, Gypsy Wildcat or Louisiana Hussy, Coe is best remembered for his for his wild offscreen ways, his dark good look, his many wives and more. In fact, many will remember Peter Coe best for his horror film career in films like House of Frankenstein & The Mummy's Curse both which starred Lon Cheyney Jr. However it might be his lasting friendship at the very end of his life with b-movie director Ed Wood that piques the most interest with fans. In fact, Wood died in Coe's apartment. And our guest Peter was there to witness it all believe it or not. We discuss this fascinating and disturbing story coming up. We also discuss Peter's mother, model Rosalee Cavlert who might have been the most famous model of the 1950s and 1960s. In fact, while she did act, she often played a model in films like Made in Paris and The Oscar, both starring host Josh Mills' mother, Edie Adams. We talk about Peter's time with his mother growing up pretty much in poverty while somehow living in an exclusive enclave of Los Angeles. The story Peter weaves about how this happens is fascinating. Along the way we discuss couture designer James Galanos, Atlantic Records music mogul Ahmet Ertegun, how Coe escaped the Nazi's, the cult rock band Sparks, Bela Lugosi, having dinner with Mel Brooks, grade Z actor Paul Marco & much more. Peter is nothing if not self-effacing, straight forward, funny, matter of fact and quite happy to tell us both the good and the bad of growing up the child of a celebrity. Take a listen. Everyone has a story. Rarely are they this unique.

In der neuesten Episode reden Torsten und Gerry über spannende Themen. Es geht um die James-Bond-Ausstellung im Bochumer Stadtarchiv (nur noch bis 31.07.) und die Frage, ob Denis Villeneuve der richtige Regisseur für die (hoffentlich) aufregende, neue Bond-Ära ist. Außerdem verraten die beiden, welche Serien sie sich als Reboot wünschen – und welche besser nicht. Apropos Reboot: Der Start von DIE NACKTE KANONE mit Liam Neeson wirft die Frage auf, ob der parodistische Humor der Originale noch in die heutige Zeit passt. Und natürlich darf Stephen King nicht fehlen! Torsten und Gerry sprechen über drei neue Verfilmungen und warum sie sich besonders auf THE LIFE OF CHUCK, THE RUNNING MAN und THE LONG WALK freuen. Aber da ist noch so viel mehr. Viel Spaß!

Listener Chuck: Episode 455, just some thoughts "J-frame good" -- that it is, though I'm pretty much stuck on the 6 round Taurus 856 now. If I have to go small, I'll run with a snub as long as I can, probably an LCR. The LCP I find to be a miserable thing to shoot. Don't like it. Specialized for when anything else is too big. In years past I picked up both a Kahr CM40 and CM9. The .40 is, surprisingly, not horrible to shoot. Handgunhero shows them as almost exactly the same size (in profile, I know they're thicker) as the LCP. —-------------------------------------------------- Listener G: Howdy, I've been a listener for a while and have participated in a few of these in the past and I really enjoy when yall do them. What follows is my list of 4 pistols (yes I followed the rules, unlike some of the hosts….). My first is a beautiful Italian race gun that I found out about from LifeSizePotato (praise be upon him). 6” 45acp Pardini GT The next two are from C&Rsenal. And I can't wait till they get fully switched to the new format and resume releasing episodes again. I currently have an Othais and Mae sized hole in my heart. Lancaster 4 barrel This one is just neat, a neat mechanism and a neat form factor. Frommer Stop in 32acp(frommer) This one is one of favorite guns of all time. Who wouldn't love a small, long recoil pistol. Calico M100 pistol. Lastly is ‘Space Balls: The gun' Honestly I want this because I love Mel Brooks movies and also because I want to have something terrible to point at whenever someone asks me what I spent my winnings on. Just for the sheer pleasure that I would get from the other person's confusion. P.S. thank yall, I really enjoy y'all's podcast. Also Mr. Beard should probably get some sleep from time to time. Springfield Armory NHS is high on my list but it may be a bit far for a day trip. Thank yall. —--------------------------------------- Listener Myles: Hi Ryan, I am glad you did this view feed back subject. So my picks for this might not be outrageous but would require me to move. 1) AMT Automag in 44 magnum. Just because. 2) a custom Magnum Research BFR with 3” barrel in 30 carbine. I cast fireball. 3) for my one none handgun the dainty little Lady's Home Companion. Nothing say stay off my lawn like 12 round of 45-70. —------------------------ Listener David: If I had unlimited money, here are the guns I would get. I have two rifles. They are kinda cheats I suppose, but I don't care. First, I would go to London and get custom fitted for a Holland & Holland double rifle in 700 Nitro Express.
Happy birthday to Bruce! Jaws turns 50 this year and we our love sinking our teeth into the celebrations.

It's a blockbuster episode so take a bite outta cake. News Back to the Future and Jaws get some fantastic new Hot Wheels cars Videoheaven is a new documentary about one of our favorite hangouts in the 80s; video rental stores Original Blue's Clues host Steve Blum starts a new podcast for adults Mel Brooks has a pilot ready for a Young Frankenstein prequel on FX Andy Weir's novel Project Hail Mary is coming to theaters and we have a trailer Check out our TeePublic store for some enjoyable swag and all the latest fashion trends What we're Enjoying Shua highly recommends the newest Pixar movie Elio.

On his way to visit Shua in person, Jay stopped at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. It's an exciting museum of some of our favorite performers over the years. Such a great history of how our culture has changed because of music. You can find it in Cleveland, OH.

That is, until Jaws was released. Adapted from a novel by Peter Benchley, Steven Spielberg took on the challenge of filming this movie an the actual ocean with a not-actual shark. It was an overnight success and moviegoers lined up around the block to get terrified of going to the beach. Plus, it spawned a ton of sequels and knock-offs. After this, movies changed forever. And so did Spielberg's career. Let's take a look at Jaws and what came after it. When did you see Jaws? Were you afraid to go into the water afterwards?

Things get heated as they tackle billionaires, Elon Musk's family drama, and the controversial "big, beautiful bill" that's got everyone losing their minds. Plus, nostalgic nods to Mel Brooks, pickleball passions, and banana baseball madness. It's raw, real, and packed with laughs—subscribe now for this and more on the Opie Radio podcast!

A circumcision controversy, the world's most annoying protests, working with Mel Brooks, a quiz about drunken countries, and a sloth-speed chase are among the minutiae topics discussed this week by Rick and Dave. [Ep395]
We discuss the Supreme Court decision allowing states to defund Planned Parenthood and we decry many attempts by Christian nationalists to force religious conformity on a diverse nation. After celebrating the life of the irreverent comedian, actor, filmmaker, songwriter and playwright Mel Brooks (who turns 99 this month), we hear opening statements in two debates in the United Kingdom that FFRF co-presidents participated in. We hear the Opening Statement by Dan Barker in a debate at Oxford University on the topic: "This House Believes God Is a Delusion." Then we hear the Opening Statement by Annie Laurie Gaylor at Cambridge University on the topic: "This House Believes Religion and Feminism Are Incompatible."
This week, we light a candle for lost legends and torch a few bad takes. In Follow Up, Molly White reminds us that giving a damn still matters—despite the rising tide of apathy (and flaming robotaxis in downtown L.A.). Protesters across the country chant “No Kings!” while Elon does his best impression of a bootlicker groveling back to Trump. Meanwhile, we take a moment to reflect on 2025's greatest hits: riots, rollbacks, and rampant idiocy.In the news, Uber decides buses are cool again—but shittier and more expensive. The UK jumps into the robotaxi game while Tesla, shockingly, misses another launch date. French Tesla fans are suing over the brand's fashy vibes, Google is ghosting employees via buyout, and Meta's trying to buy its way to artificial godhood. Oh, and Trump's launching an AI chatbot. What could go wrong? Elsewhere, China turns off AI so kids can cheat the old-fashioned way, Disney and Universal are gunning for Midjourney, and Shopify goes stablecoin with Coinbase and Stripe.Media Candy's popping off: Foundation returns, Strange New Worlds prepares for its final warp, and Spaceballs is back—with the original cast! Meanwhile, we review Mythfits, Princess of Power, and the slow striptease that is David Zaslav's credibility. On the gadget front: forget your canned air—go full vacuum-blower-keyboard-cleaner madness. And in The Dark Side with Dave, stormtroopers vlog, AI kills joy, and we race the beam in retro game land. Finally, we say goodbye to a few greats—Sly Stone, Brian Wilson, Ananda Lewis, Douglas McCarthy, and Apple legend Bill Atkinson.
