BSP Episode 292: Blazing Saddles – We Just Watched a Movie

Show notes are blatantly stolen from the post for this episode on The Way of the Game site.

Blazing Saddles – February 7, 1974

Director: Mel Brooks
Producer: Michael Hertzberg
Writers: Andrew Bergman, Mel Brooks, Richard Pryor, Norman Steinberg, Al Uger
Actors: Cleavon Little, Gene Wilder, Harvey Korman, Slim Pickens, Madeline Kahn, Mel Brooks, Dom DeLuise
Distributor: Warner Bros.

The course of the conversation:

This is a combo-episode, inspired by and releasing for the Back Seat Producers as well.

Sausagefest is discussed.  You can continue to donate at sausagefeststl.com.

We were asked to respond to a past BSP episode.  Jonathan’s been holding a grudge about Blazing Saddles for a while.

Jonathan explains We Just Watched a Movie a bit.

When did you first experience Mel Brooks and or Blazing Saddles?

In defense of Gene Wilder.

Madeline Kahn is simply incredible.

Slim Pickens walks a tight rope.

The guys talk about racism.  Shocking.

Jonathan diverges into talking about The Simpsons.

Jonathan diverges into talking about Penny Arcade.

Racism seems much more prominent today than when BSP was recording.

It’s too bad this movie couldn’t be made today.

Mel Brooks is at his best when he parodies a genre, not a specific movie.

Jonathan diverges into talking about Grand Theft Auto 5.

The Way of the Game would like to apologize to our listeners for Nathaniel.

Back Seat Book Club – Book Thirteen: From a Buick 8

Author: Stephen King

Published: 2002

Scribner

Plot Summary – The story begins in western Pennsylvania in 1979, when a mysterious figure parks a vintage Buick Roadmaster at a local gas station, then disappears forever. The police discover that the Buick isn’t a car at all but rather a Buick-shaped enigma: self-healing; impregnable to dents, dirt, and scratches; composed of unidentifiable materials; and containing a completely nonfunctional engine. Confronted with a mystery of unprecedented proportions, the troopers of Barracks D claim the Buick for themselves and spend 20 years attempting to understand its nature, purpose, and provenance.

Quick Thoughts

  • [forthcoming]

It’s funny how close the past is, sometimes. Sometimes it seems as if you could almost reach out and touch it. Only who really wants to?
