I want to tell you a tale of three adventurers who fought against metal monsters in an epic battle known as “Rush Hour”
to place themselves in the kingdom of “Cinequest”. Yes, their battle was fierce, and many obstacles were thrown in their direction, but through sheer will and determination these three brave souls, from different walks of life, found one another, safe and ready for entertainment.
It’s no secret that I love Mel Brooks. I spend every January, starting on New Year’s Day watching his movies all month long. I call it “Mel Brooksuary” (which inspired our very own Sean to try his own “Denzel Marchington”). I could spend this entire blog telling you why Brooks is a brilliant filmmaker that turned the parody genre into an art form. I could tell you about how he was a WW2 vet that diffused landmines and blasted the Nazis with pop music just to piss them off, or how he’s one of eleven people to ever EGOT, or how he belongs to an elite group of renowned comedy writers that all wrote Your Show of Shows together (including Carl Reiner, Neil Simon, and Mel Tolkin).
“…I guess we’ll never know. It’s like a kind of torture to have to watch the show!”
Statler and Waldorf. America’s favorite hecklers. Bless their grumpy old hearts, for they are the comedic greek chorus ofThe Muppet Show (1976-1981). Those cranky kooks made an art form out of destroying Fozzie’s stand-up acts and the other array of ridiculous performances that graced the show every Saturday night.
This week, the Nerds welcome Nerdonomy co-founder David McGuire back to discuss one of Dr. Seuss’ most beloved books and the TV special & feature film that followed.
