Today on the podcast, we tackle one that has long been on the watchlist, Mel Brooks's Blazing Saddles. The '70s comedy stars Cleavon Little and Gene Wilder, and the film was nominated for 3 Oscars. In the episode, we discuss the absurdist comedy of the film, the evolution of comedy and how acceptable jokes have changed over time, and we herald the onscreen chemistry of the two leads.
