Hey everyone, here's a bonus episode just for you! We discuss Mel Brooks' penultimate film, Robin Hood: Men in Tights and why we think the movie had such a bizarre impact on 90's kids. Even more bizarre though is how this movie came to be - it involves a dentist, Michael Jackson, scientology, and Kevin Costner. We go through the full story though, as well as stuff we didn't get to in our Silent Movie episode, the unmade Mel Brooks films, bad 90's parody movies, and what to expect on our next episode!

Thanks, as always, for your support! Let us know your thoughts on Robin Hood: Men in Tights below.

Not only did the Waynes make Scary Movie, but also a Zucker Brother made them too

Jesus how the script was made is probably way more interesting than this film

Honestly I really want to see that Elvis movie, manly because so many critics hate it, and they're making it sound so much more fun than it probably actually is

Can’t wait for the next Mel brooks episode, need to also see more of his movies. The only one I’ve seen is spaceballs. I hope to check out life stinks and blazing saddles soon.

Loving the Mel Brooks hot takes, has me rethinking a lot of his movies. Also your talking about Mark Blankfield flashed my earliest childhood memory of seeing him in some weird movie back in the 80’s on cable. I had a eureka moment putting Mark Blankfield’s face to a name when you said it- a weird, weird comedy called “Jekyll and Hyde... Together Again”. I was way too young to see this movie as a 3 or 4 year old, but the frightening character of Mr. Hyde (you gotta see it to believe it) and the image of a skeleton spinning in its grave was this odd half imagined movie memory I’ve had my whole life, and for some reason thought it might have been the movie “Dr. Detroit”. Anyway thanks guys for finally helping me solve that lifelong mystery that had been bugging me almost my entire life. Mystery finally solved! Oh and “Jekyll and Hyde... Together Again” might be an offbeat possible almost cult classic- it’s like a poor man’s Young Frankenstein and Mark Blankfield plays a poor man’s Gene Wilder.

I generally like Mel Brooks stuff that I've seen. I thought High Anxiety is pretty good. I hope you guys talk about it sometime. For a movie I'd like you guys to talk about that has John Cleese in it I'd love for you guys to talk about Rat Race, or maybe talk about the show Fawlty Towers.

I watched this movie, I want to say about a year ago, and I enjoyed it. I think I probably had my mind on other things and just had it playing in the background, but regardless I enjoyed it. I do agree with you on Curb though. Season 8 would've been the perfect place to end it, I still found a lot of enjoyment in the later seasons but I thought the last one was pretty weak, especially with the final episode of the last season

Glad I read the comments first. I, too, was about to mention Mark Blankfield’s Jekyll and Hyde… Together Again (1982). As a kid, I remember watching taped-from-tv Stooges shorts over and over, and seeing an advertisement for a television broadcast of this strange-looking film. Finally saw the movie on DVD years later; I remember enjoying it. And, recently I found a GIANT presumably original poster for the movie at a flea market. As for somewhat Python-related movies, how about Splitting Heirs (1993) with Idle and Cleese?

Just watched Robin Hood men in tights last night. Really bad. The blazing saddles joke at the end is really bad but I hated the home alone, white man can’t jump and 12th century fox jokes a lot more.
