Podcast appearances and mentions of Mel Brooks

Mel Brooks takes on Alfred Hitchcock in this underrated comedy that lovingly blends Hitchcock and his imitators into a fizzy little mystery. If this had starred Gene Wilder as intended, it would've been remembered along side the best of Brooks's films. Starring Mel Brooks, Madeline Kahn, Cloris Leachman, Harvey Korman, Dick Van Patten, Ron Carey, and Howard Morris. Written by Mel Brooks, Ron Clark, Rudy De Luca, and Barry Levinson. Directed by Mel Brooks. Listen without ads when you join the Patreon: patreon.com/maryvsmovies

In an ode to Bill Pullman's unforgettable declaration in Spaceballs, the Munsons find themselves surrounded by assholes as we welcome back Dan Craig for his 9th guest Munson appearance.  We marvel at Pullman's remarkably clean personal life and his successful marriage to Tamara Hurwitz since 1987—a genuine movie star who somehow managed to maintain a semi-normal life in Montana. We trace his path from relative unknown to leading man after Mel Brooks took a chance on him in Spaceballs, then dive into a filmography filled with surprises. We review what is apparently the only movie Bill Pullman and Bill Paxton made together, while James and Kyle enthusiastically spoil the absolutely bonkers ending of Malice. We also marvel at Pullman's astonishing roster of wives and girlfriends throughout 1990s cinema and hear Kyle's ill-fated attempt to track down Whipstaff Manor in Friendship, Maine. Of course, no Pullman conversation is complete without Independence Day, and we gush over his iconic presidential speech that rallies the entire world—and was reportedly so good that it inspired a change to the movie's title. We're also genuinely stunned to discover there are six Lake Placid movies, before asking the uncomfortable question of what happened to Pullman's filmography after 1998. Did Hollywood simply throw too many roles his way, or did he stop being quite as selective about what he took? Perhaps most exciting of all, Pullman gives us something we haven't had in a while: a filmography packed with movies we've somehow never covered across 140 previous episodes. There's a lot of new territory to explore, plenty of surprises along the way, and more Bill Pullman than we probably knew we needed. How does he rank on the Munson Meter? Listen to find out.

Devin & James are back in the Den to explore a decade in the career of one of our favorite American character actors: PETER BOYLE IN THE 1970s! From the his humble beginnings in the late 60s until his passing in 2006, Boyle was a consistently working actor and beloved legend of film and television, but there was something special about his output during the decade of the New Hollywood movement.We start with 1970's still controversial JOE, a part that Boyle filled so perfectly during production that the entire film was re-edited and re-titled in post in order to switch his supporting character into the main event! We follow that up with still-timely THE CANDIDATE, in which Boyle spins himself far, far, far away from the "Joe-persona" to help liberal Robert Redford become a California senator. Boyle then returns to dark territory, playing an ominous presence in the life of Robert Mitchum in a classic neo-noir slow burn, THE FRIENDS OF EDDIE COYLE. He finally gets a proper starring role in the absurdly under seen and underappreciated CRAZY JOE, where he plays real life wiseguy Joe Gallo, running a gang that includes the likes of Rip Torn, Fred Williamson, and Henry Winkler!There might not have been a ton of dialogue for Boyle in his biggest hit of the 70s, YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN, but his turn as "Fronkensteen's Monster" is one of the most important and beloved of his entire career. We try not to spend the entire segment endlessly quoting Gene Wilder & Mel Brooks' script.And just for the hell of it, we finish the decade off the same way Peter Boyle did, with the (literal and figurative) disaster film, BEYOND THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE, featuring an all-star cast of actors who must have all had bookies to pay to be in this one (though we argue it's all in dumb fun).In between, we also consider his contributions to high profile projects like Taxi Driver, Hardcore, and The Brink's Job, as well as obscurities like Steelyard Blues and T.R. Baskin. Please join us in the Den to celebrate one of the most unique performers to ever steal a scene.

Could Blazing Saddles be made today or would it be canceled before the cameras even started rolling?In this episode, Peter and Phil take a look at Mel Brooks' comedy classic and use it to jump into a much bigger conversation about satire, censorship, political correctness, and just how much the rules of comedy have changed.Are we more thoughtful about what we joke about or have we just become afraid to take more risks? From the jokes that would never make it past a studio meeting today to the growing pressure creators feel to censor themselves, they explore what happens when comedy stops pushing buttons.Because sometimes the whole point of satire is to make us uncomfortable enough to laugh and then think about why we're laughing.Come laugh with us tis episode at Peterandphil.com

House of Capra opens with the one that started it all. Frank Capra's 1934 road comedy put a runaway heiress and a broke reporter on a cross-country bus and accidentally wrote the blueprint every romantic comedy has borrowed from since. Clark Gable pulls your eye whether the scene asks for it or not, and Claudette Colbert matches him beat for beat. There's a blanket, a clothesline, and a stretch of empty highway that do more with restraint than most modern rom-coms manage with everything at their disposal. We get into why a movie made for pocket change swept every major Oscar, where Bugs Bunny came from, and which Mel Brooks film quietly lifted the whole structure. 

This week on the Exciting and New podcast, Jason, Andy and Dana welcome Dan back on the show as they discuss the 1986 horror classic The Fly.  In this remaking of the 50s era Vincent Price flick, David Cronenberg amps up the body horror and paces an absolute gem as Jeff Goldblum transports himself and a fly across the room with unexpected results.  Gina David is Ronnie, the reporter documenting it all.  Mel Brooks said "Be afraid.  Be very afraid." and boy he IS NOT kidding.  This movie is nearly perfect and we all couldn't recommend it highly enough.  Stop right now and watch this movie.  Then enjoy the podcast!!Jason, Andy and Dana will discuss a 1986 movie weekly, breaking down all the nonsense there within. The 3 hosts all work together and everyone else around them was getting really annoyed at all the movie talk, so they decided to annoy the world in podcast form.Check out previous seasons to hear them discuss 1982, 1983, 1984 & 1985 movies, as well as a full season of Love Boat episodes (if that is your thing). Plus one-off specials and a weekly mini "what are we watching" podcast.#jezoo74 #aegonzo1 #danacapoferri #exciting_new

Returning champion Aaron Lubeck joins me to discuss his exceptional piece called, “Revisiting Euclid v. Ambler at 100,” which he posted on his Substack “On Housing.” Aaron also posts and helps curate “Southern Urbanism” - an excellent publication I highly recommend.While a lot of ink has been spilled and words shared about the impact of the Euclid v Ambler case, Aaron's column adds some new wrinkles and information to it that even surprised me. We talk in some detail about the case itself, the arguments made, and the people you might be surprised that were considered the “out” groups in that era. We also talk some about what a post-Euclid world could look like, and the implications for the planning profession.Because Aaron and I can't stop at just one topic, we also hit on some of the perverse consequences of building and energy codes, and how “The modern world destroys all that cannot be quantified” as he states. Oh also, Mel Brooks at 100, and the need for more satire in our lives. Enjoy.Find more content on The Messy City on Kevin's Substack page.Music notes: all songs by low standards, ca. 2010.

Em 1974, Mel Brooks levou o público a uma viagem hilária pela Transilvânia com O Jovem Frankenstein. O filme acompanha o Dr. Frederick Frankenstein (Gene Wilder), neto do famoso criador de monstros, que insiste em pronunciar seu sobrenome como “Fronkensteen” para se distanciar da reputação da família. Mas ao herdar o castelo do avô, ele acaba se envolvendo em experimentos que trazem de volta à vida uma criatura desajeitada e surpreendentemente carismática.Filmado em preto e branco para recriar a atmosfera dos clássicos da Universal dos anos 1930, Brooks transforma o terror em pura comédia, com cenas icônicas como a dança “Puttin' on the Ritz” e diálogos que se tornaram eternos.Elenco principalGene Wilder – Dr. Frederick FrankensteinPeter Boyle – O MonstroMarty Feldman – IgorMadeline Kahn – ElizabethCloris Leachman – Frau BlücherTeri Garr – IngaKenneth Mars – Inspetor KempParticipação especial de Gene Hackman como o cego hilárioPIX: canalfilmesegames@gmail.comSiga o Filmes e Games:Instagram: filmesegames Facebook: filmesegames Twitter: filmesegamesSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5KfJKthIntro - 0:00 Young Fronkonstim - 7:53O que é "O Jovem Frankenstein"? - 8:33Notas dos agregadores - 11:50Tirando o bode da sala - 12:35Relembrando o filme - 28:17Os adereços do Frankenstein original - 38:37A cena mais elaborada do filme - 42:30O cego - 43:59Puttin' on the Ritz - 45:01Uma sequência dos clássicos da Universal - 46:12Porque o Gene Hackman tá no filme - 47:11Bilheteria - 48:39Premiações - 50:45Notas do Filmes e Games - 51:49Momento Locadora - 55:00Revelação do FGcast #438 - 1:47:47Dicas do FGcast #439 - 1:57:40

Mel Brooks har rundet 100 år, og det må selvfølgelig markeres med en skikkelig gjennomgang av filmografien hans! Vi går gjennom de elleve filmene Mel Brooks har regissert – fra debuten med The Producers og videre gjennom blant annet Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein og resten av de elleville komediene som gjorde Brooks til en av Hollywoods aller største satirikere. Her er det så mye å snakke om at vi har fordelt moroa over to episoder. Finn fram popcornet, len deg tilbake og kos deg – It's good to be the king!

It's the end of summer, and Yonit and Jonathan are taking a break from the news with a nugget of pure Jewish joy. Andy Nyman — the West End actor, writer, director and magician currently starring as Max Bialystock in The Producers, and previously as an acclaimed Tevye in Fiddler on the Roof — joins the show for an Unholy Conversation. Why does Mel Brooks' nearly-60-year-old joke about Hitler still land? What makes Max Bialystock - who could have been Tevye's grandson - so beloved, even in his desperation? And is the Broadway musical, as a form, secretly a Jewish one? Andy answers the question by giving a rare performance of a musical classic — rendered in Yiddish. You won't want to miss it. In this episode: The Genius of Mel Brooks: How The Producers transforms satire into an act of healing and an uncompromising "fuck you" to history. From Tevye to Bialystock: Exploring the thread connecting the working-class milkman of Anatevka to the scheming, desperate, yet deeply human Broadway hustler. Art in Times of Darkness: A rare behind-the-scenes look at performing comedic Jewish art—and deciding to keep a daring scene in the show—in the wake of global tragedy. Exclusive Live Performances: Andy delivers three bespoke, stripped-back performances directly in the studio: "We Can Do It" (The Producers) "If I Were a Rich Man" (Fiddler on the Roof) A haunting, tender Yiddish translation of "Hushabye Mountain" (originally by the Sherman Brothers).   00:06 Introduction to Unholy Conversations 00:09 Introduction to Andy Nyman 01:57 The Enduring Appeal of The Producers 05:50 Mel Brooks and Jewish Healing through Humor 08:29 Defiance in Comedy: Pulling Down Pants 09:59 Exploring Max Bialystok's Character 17:30 Max Bialystok and Tevye: A Generational Connection 18:23 The Complexity of Tevye 22:58 The Essence of Fiddler on the Roof 30:44 The Current Jewish Climate 35:40 The Jewish Influence in Musical Theatre 42:32 A Yiddish Lullaby: Bridging Cultures 44:24 The Importance of Representation 44:25 Personal Connections and Impact

AI is here and there's no stopping it... even when it comes to a doctor searching for something. This idea of doctors leads us down the rabbit hole of standardized testing. We take a turn into the political sphere with certain races coming up and the ideocracy of some members. Why wouldn't the talk of political corruption lead us into the world of FIFA. We do find our way into more normal conversation of film with the Odyssey and the Devil Wears Prada 2. Huw's been on a hot streak in the film watching recently. We take a quick dive down the parody films with Mel Brooks' Spaceballs 2 coming to theaters soon. Hopefully everyone is staying safe out there.

It's a new month and a new theme! This month we are focusing on everyone's favorite hundred year old man, Mel Brooks! But we're focusing on his lesser known works starting with his adaptation of a 1920s Soviet novel ... The Twelve Chairs!

Not really reviews, just a conversation about movies that we like to watch. For this first episode we talk a pair of movies from our childhood, Rob Reiner’s Princess Bride and Mel Brooks’ Robin Hood Men in Tights. These are two films we love for very similar reasons that have become cult classics. We discuss why we love these films and what it says about today’s films and audiences. On our next episode we’ll be talking about the films Weapons and Backrooms.  Guest: Ro @bookblerd.bsky.social‬   Like what you hear?

We tend to avoid anything we won't be instantly good at. Richard Sparks has spent forty years proving that instinct is wrong.   Richard is a writer who has spent 40 years bouncing between comedy sketches, TV scripts, opera translations, and now fantasy novels. He wrote for a young Rowan Atkinson before anyone knew his name, then somehow ended up translating operas with no background in the form.   In this episode, Richard shares why he never expects a first draft to work and how that same patience helped him build a fantasy series after decades of writing scripts.   We cover: The strange side job that taught Richard he could actually get paid to write What happened the first time he watched an actor perform a sketch he wrote The one thing Richard tells every young writer about a bad first draft Why he walked away from decades of scriptwriting for something he'd never done before A story structure mistake he says ruined the ending of a hit TV series The line from Mel Brooks that reframed how Richard thinks about comedy vs. tragedy -- Resources Get free chapters at: https://richardsparks.com 

What made a generation of Jewish artists and intellectuals transform American culture? In this episode, Rabbi Marc Katz sits down with acclaimed cultural critic David Denby to discuss his book Eminent Jews: Bernstein, Brooks, Friedan, Mailer (Henry Holt, 2025), a vibrant portrait of four extraordinary Americans whose Jewish identities helped shape the modern United States. Though they worked in vastly different fields, Leonard Bernstein, Mel Brooks, Betty Friedan, and Norman Mailer shared a remarkable historical moment. Coming of age after World War II, they entered an America where Jewish opportunity was expanding and antisemitism was beginning to recede. Their Jewish heritage, energized by the freedoms of American life, fueled bold, unconventional careers that reshaped music, comedy, literature, feminism, and public debate. Denby paints these figures in all their complexity: ambitious, difficult, generous, provocative, and endlessly creative. Rather than offering simple hero worship, he explores how their outsized personalities and relentless drive allowed them to challenge old assumptions about art, politics, gender, humor, and what it meant to be both fully Jewish and fully American. Together, Denby and Katz explore why this particular generation produced so many cultural revolutionaries, how Jewish identity informed their work without defining it, and what their legacies reveal about the changing place of Jews in postwar America.

The GLoP crew celebrates America's 250th birthday the only way they know how: by trying to name five movies that explain the country and somehow ending up in a ditch full of Fire Birds, Paper Moon, The Best Years of Our Lives, the mayor from Jaws, Mel Brooks at 100, Gila monsters, late-stage capitalism, early-stage diarrhea, and the eternal question of whether this is still technically a pop-culture podcast. It's patriotic, digressive, occasionally disgusting, and probably more grateful for Western civilization than Western civilization deserves.

There are normal radio shows... and then there's whatever happened today.This daily comedy episode kicks off with a passionate (and surprisingly heated) debate over the greatest American bands of all time. Aerosmith? Metallica? The Beach Boys? Pearl Jam? Eagles? Somebody is wrong, somebody gets roasted, and nobody leaves happy.Then Kenny Chesney somehow steals the spotlight before he even performs. Between Shirt Nation jokes, concert cancellations, and rumors surrounding Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's possible wedding, the crew has plenty to say—and almost none of it is nice.Kate Beckinsale reminds everyone that grief doesn't always look the same after revealing that coping with personal tragedy involved prank calls and mooning people from a hotel window. Naturally, the gang spends far too long discussing whether society unfairly abandoned the fine art of mooning sometime after Y2K.Speaking of questionable history... conspiracy theorists are convinced someone attended Elvis Presley's final concert with an iPhone decades before smartphones existed. Is it proof of time travel? An old camera? A vape? The Rizz Show investigates with the scientific rigor you'd expect from people arguing about Don Henley's FBI search history five minutes earlier.The celebrity gossip keeps rolling with Noah Kahan begging concertgoers to stop leaving surprises on venue floors, Alan Jackson's emotional farewell concert, Bill Maher's Mark Twain Prize, Mel Brooks turning 100, and a surprisingly heartfelt conversation about legendary supergroups that disappeared way too soon.Somewhere in the middle, Riz announces a concert he'll absolutely attend, the crew argues over Taylor Swift's rumored wedding location, Kenny Chesney gets called out for canceling shows, and everyone discovers there are apparently multiple ways to accidentally become internet-famous.It's another chaotic ride packed with celebrity news, weird news, music debates, conspiracy theories, sarcastic humor, and the completely unnecessary confidence that only The Rizzuto Show can deliver.If you enjoy ridiculous conversations that somehow bounce from classic rock to celebrity gossip to time-traveling Elvis without ever touching the brakes, congratulations—you've found your people.This daily comedy episode delivers everything you'd expect from The Rizzuto Show: laughs, debates, pop culture commentary, questionable life advice, and absolutely zero guarantees that any topic will stay on track for more than two minutes.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
