Episode 289 - Blazing Saddles 50th Anniversary Hoedown

Blazing Saddles is a comedy classic given to us by Mel Brooks way back in 1974 and we are going to celebrate the 50th Anniversary accordingly… with copious amounts of vulgarity, fart jokes and meta-humor on top of an angry, socially conscious satire of race relations in America. That’s right, Blazing Saddles is a foundational film comedy that is not afraid to make you laugh while also making you uncomfortable. So buckle up, cowpokes, and join us for a celebration that is sure to make you send us even more hate mail! Thank you, Mel Brooks, for the decades of laughter! 0:00 - Eric’s trip to Japan 10:00 - Brian’s work trip to India 20:30 - Sid and Marty Krofft shows on Tubi 21:20 - The Bay City Rollers Show 29:00 - Rick and Morty (season 7) 33:45 - American Fiction (2023) 38:25 - UFO (1970) and Space:1999 (1975) 41:55 - Blazing Saddles (1974) Brian’s India traffic video: https://youtu.be/oQwRNcVZ434 Brian’s India fast food video: https://youtu.be/vad9eFKz2Xw
