episode 331: Nerd Twinkle
Spaceballs.
By 1987, Mel Brooks had satirized live theater, the westerns, horror movies, silent movies, Alfred Hitchcock and history itself, so it was the perfect time to turn to a genre that had recently taken off in the 80s, sci-fi.
In this episode of The 602 Club hosts Matthew Rushing and Christy Morris talk about Spaceballs. We discuss our first experiences, the production, a thematic element, the cast, the jokes, why it endure, our ratings and recommendations.
