We Love Mel Brooks Episode 2: Blazing Saddles (1974)
Added 2022-10-07 16:00:13 +0000 UTCOn this week's episode we talk about Mel Brooks' much-weaponized satire of the Western genre, BLAZING SADDLES. The film is a dark,biting, ridiculously goofy lambasting of the racist tropes of the Wild West, that at times slips up and partakes in those selfsame tropes. It's not for everybody and we're certainly in no position to tell you how to feel about the film, but it is an important piece of the history of not just film, but also the art form of comedy itself. We also talk about all the looney tunes shit and that scene where Mongo punches a horse.
Hope you enjoy the episode, and tune in for our next episode all about YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN, just in time for the Halloween season! Also along with that episode, we should have our poll prepared for you guys to vote on our next miniseries!
