Podcast appearances and mentions of Mel Brooks

Welcome to TELEHELL-O-WEEN!! We will be presenting Three shows this week that each involve something Spooky...and we begin this week with an attempt to make Frankenstein funny, minus the aid of Mel Brooks. SPONSORED BY: Dave's Archives Annex 3 Kier's Nostalgia Corner Kev The Ripper and (of course) our Patrons

Jamie, Jimmy and Bob tell each other to "talk this way" as they discuss the script to the Mel Brooks classic Young Frankenstein.

Encore! Encore! - This fall we needed a laugh, so we're revisiting some of our favorite episodes. What better way to laugh than bask in the hilarity of 3 great 1970's comedies with some of the funniest film moments in film brought to us by; Mel Brooks' Young Frankenstein (1974), Arthur Hiller's Silver Streak (1976) and Animal House (1978) produced by Ivan Reitman! Join us for Episode 14: "We Might Never Stop Laughing." Where else can you have a Mary Shelley classic and mash it up with Irving Berlin to make monsters loveable, or twist up a take on a Hitchcock thriller by pairing two comic geniuses and taking a real look at what the social life off a gentlemanly college fraternity  was like in 1962?   To find out more about this and past episodes' movies, including trivia and other fun facts, visit our official Cinema Sounds and Secrets website.  

Dracula: Dead and Loving It (1995) — Mel Brooks sinks his teeth into gothic comedy with Leslie Nielsen as the most bumbling Count ever to grace the silver screen. We're breaking down the slapstick, the satire, and the surprisingly gorgeous production design in this often-overlooked spoof. From rubber bats to ballroom bites, we ask the ultimate question: does Brooks' final parody still have life after dark?

In this episode of LaidOPEN Podcast, host Charna Cassell sits down with award-winning playwright, performer, and teacher Ann Randolph, whose autobiographical solo shows blend comedy, storytelling, and profound transformation. Together they explore their long-held desire to collaborate — a journey guided by synchronicity, presence, and creative courage. Ann shares how her early days working the graveyard shift at a homeless shelter evolved into a celebrated career sharing the stage with icons like Mel Brooks and Alanis Morissette. She opens up about using comedy to approach trauma, the healing power of daily writing, and the importance of embodying your story rather than just telling it. Charna and Ann dive deep into the somatic roots of storytelling, the interplay between vulnerability and creative freedom, and the spiritual practices that sustain both art and healing. Whether you're a writer, performer, or simply someone seeking personal transformation, this conversation invites you to embrace failure, presence, and play as pathways to authentic expression and connection.

Send us a textAs the last four years, it's time for our annual salute to Scary Season on the pod --- a little film nosh to whet your appetite for the fun of Halloween ahead. Last season we went down one of the paths of the classic Universal Pictures lineup of horror films, with the foundational Dracula. This season, we're headed down another path of classics from the golden days of Universal, but the third in the series of this particular horror group. Not the film Frankenstein, not Bride Of Frankenstein, but the third and a nice addition (and the last that made sense) in the trail of the monster created by scientist Henry Frankenstein, the story of his human progeny. It's Son Of Frankenstein! You knew that was coming next!   Why start with the third in the series? The first two, directed by James Whale, were great and foundational in their own right. But we do dislike Colin Clive chewing the scenery as Henry Frankenstein in the first two films, as well as a thin set of supporting actors. If we're going to have an actor chewing the scenery, how about Basil Rathbone? Or Bela Lugosi? Also, many scenes in Son are immediately recognizable, as Mel Brooks and Gene Wilder mined so much of the story and characterizations for their inimitable film Young Frankenstein. Sure, the blind man played by legendary Gene Hackman in Young rose from a story line in Bride --- credit where credit is due. But most of the rest is Son. It's just fun to watch and mark… Okay, that's settled…Website and blog: www.thosewonderfulpeople.comIG: @thosewonderfulpeopleTwitter: @FilmsInTheDark

Send us a textVelvety, Buttery, Tangy: Hollandaise and Béarnaise UncoveredIn this Saucy September episode of Fabulously Delicious, The French Food Podcast, we dive into the silky, buttery, tangy world of two of France's most iconic sauces: Hollandaise and Béarnaise. These classic emulsions have been staples of French cuisine for centuries, gracing everything from delicate vegetables and poached fish to rich, juicy steaks. But beyond their velvety textures and irresistible flavors lies a fascinating story of culinary tradition, innovation, and technique.We begin with Hollandaise, one of the five French “mother sauces” codified by Auguste Escoffier. Though its name means “Dutch sauce,” Hollandaise was popularized in France and quickly became a cornerstone of haute cuisine. This luxurious sauce is crafted from egg yolks, clarified butter, and lemon juice, whisked together into a smooth, glossy emulsion. Loved for its delicate balance of richness and acidity, Hollandaise is a must-have for dishes like eggs Benedict, asparagus, and salmon, and it remains a hallmark of French culinary training.Next, we explore Béarnaise, Hollandaise's bold and herbaceous cousin. Said to be created in 1836 by chef Jean-Louis-François Collinet at Le Pavillon Henri IV in Saint-Germain-en-Laye, Béarnaise swaps lemon juice for a fragrant reduction of white wine, shallots, tarragon, and chervil. The result is a sauce with aromatic depth and a tangy edge, perfectly suited for steak, grilled meats, and vegetables. Its association with French steakhouse culture has made Béarnaise a true gastronomic classic that continues to shine on menus across France.Along the way, we uncover how these sauces became symbols of French gastronomy, their influence on fine dining, and even their playful appearance in pop culture — like Mel Brooks' History of the World, Part I with the famous line, “Don't be saucy with me, Béarnaise!” Whether you're a curious foodie, a home cook eager to master the classics, or simply someone who loves a good drizzle of sauce, this episode is packed with history, flavor, and that signature French flair.Support the showMy book Paris: A Fabulous Food Guide to the World's Most Delicious City is your ultimate companion.

CONTENT WARNING: Discussion of racism, . Mel Brooks' now-classic Western spoof is as controversial as it is well-regarded. Mel pulled absolutely no punches making this movie, and assembled a writer's room that was willing to push the envelope. The only problem is that Mel is too focused on landing the joke and less attentive to the story. It's funny, because that same year he'd release what may have been his masterpiece, a focused, fantastic parody of classic horror. It's hard to know what to cut here, but he definitely needed to figure out what story to tell. Grab your Gucci saddlebacks as we watch Blazing Saddles on Have a Good Movie!

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'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.
