Mel Brook's History of the World - Parts I & II

It would take a fool to try to package the entire history of humanity into a single feature film, but what about a tv show and a movie?

This episode we review one of Mel Brook's less beloved films and the sequel series that has recently followed it. How does the new show compare to the original film and exactly does Taika Waititi fit into all of this? Who the heck cares? Check out this episode to find out!

This does dive into full spoilers for the movie and mild spoilers for the TV show. Be warned!
