“Blazing Saddles” Hits The Big 5–0!

AMAZING VIDEO VERSION: https://bit.ly/3ZJBxo6

Oh, NO you didn’t! … uhh, yeah, we did. We take on one of the most controversial, social and movie genre satire films ever made in the Hollywood studio system. 1974’s “Blazing Saddles” is known for its many racial slurs and, almost endless, “socially incorrect” and “un-woke” scenes. But 50 years later, many mainstream media sources are – today - hailing this film as a “pioneering masterpiece of social satire”. Masterpiece? Or, just a steady stream of racist/dick jokes/misogyny/farts/etc.? We’ll give you the info to help you decide for yourself. And, how many people know the movie was written by the ground-breaking black comedian, Richard Pryor? (who almost starred in the film as well).

Though made for a very, very low budget (and it shows), “Blazing Saddles” became the highest box office grossing film of the year, 1974. To help us understand and interpret this provocative comedy, Anuradha and Thad are joined by a long-time video/media producer, Joseph Long, as our featured guest. We collectively drill deep into both the - then - and the now. Check out Joe’s YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@cruiseonloc.
