Spaceballs

May the 4th be with you! Since it's Star Wars Day and we've already covered the Original Trilogy (look for those eps way back years ago on this channel), this seemed like a good time to jam about a spoof of the most famous movie franchise ever. Like all Mel Brooks movies, Spaceballs is 20 light years away from being perfect, but it remains goofily funny and quotable. Rick Moranis is also the greatest thing since sliced schwartz. Bev adored this flick when she was 10 years old. How about now when she's...let's say a little bit older? That question and at least 2 others will be answered in detail, so strap in your mawg, fly your Winnebago at fast-but-not-ludicrous speed and guzzle our chatfest about one of the silliest movies ever made.

Well, Actually: John Gielgud (co-) directed 1 movie, so he's not known primarily as a film director. Also, Robert Lopez co-wrote "Let It Go" from Frozen, but he didn't write the screenplay (which is probably how it sounded). Also also, Daphne Zuniga has worked a lot for nearly 40 years, but most of the titles on her resume aren't very memorable.

Airport

The podcast rulebook says you have to cover a plane movie for episode #747, so I went with the daddy of the '70s disaster craze. The planes are 707s in Airport, but oh well. George Seaton writes & dir...

The Last Laugh

The Rock

It's as if 007 went to prison for decades, was let out by government guys played by John Spencer & William Forsythe and then he had to help a nerdy Nicolas Cage save hostages on a deserted island. Wel...

Moulin Rouge

The first episode of a non-theme month here in June (and the 743rd overall) gets loud about Baz Luhrmann's bombastic Moulin Rouge. It's the kind of zany project where the director and star of this Par...
