Episode 71: Spaceballs (1987)

from The Test of Time · host Alan Noah and James Brief

It's Spaceballs: the podcast episode! In 1987, Mel Brooks set his satirical sights on Star Wars (and a lot of other movies) with a farce that features sight gags, puns, and frequent use of the word "schwartz." Live from Nick's Marathon, special guest Dominic Monfre joins us to talk about jokes that are funnier in Spanish, we offer terrible tax advice that you definitely shouldn't take, and we ponder why NASA will never send a probe to Uranus (it's exactly what you think). Ultimately, we find out if Spaceballs stands the Test of Time.
