Bad Taste and Bad Influence: Comedies That Defined Our Sense of Humour

In Bad Taste and Bad Influence: Comedies That Defined Our Sense of Humour, Miles and Katy dig into the chaotic comedy films that shaped their questionable instincts. From the deadpan genius of Naked Gun—packed with slapstick, razor-sharp scripts, and the legendary Leslie Nielsen delivering every ridiculous line with unwavering seriousness—to the outrageously un-PC but ultimately profound Blazing Saddles, they explore how these cult classics ruined their ability to take anything seriously. Along the way, they salute Mel Brooks’ brilliance and his fearless takedown of racism through bold satire. Expect inappropriate jokes, fond nostalgia, and a few moments of existential crisis as they unpack the comedy gold (and occasional cringe) of their formative years.
