Ep. 5: The Man From Nowhere Special- An Analysis of 'Blazing Saddles' (1974)

The boys are back with more Mel chatter as they welcome special guest Thom Parham (Film Professor/ Podcaster, 'Screen Thom') aboard Spaceball One for a deep dive into Mel's raucous, knee slapping satire on the western genre: BLAZING SADDLES!

Listen in as they unpack the history of the production, learn more of how the plot adheres to and extends beyond genre trapping, thoughtfully ponder the film's material as it pertains to audiences then and now, and settle on how the films satiric genius has stood the test of time.
