Young Frankenstein

Send us Fan Mail

This week on That '70s Movie Podcast, Jonathan and Michael bring to life the 1974 comedy classic "Young Frankenstein."

In this episode, we discussed our favorite film comedies and why, in general, comedy often doesn't receive the same critical respect as other genres of film. We praised the performances of Cloris Leachman, Madeline Kahn, Peter Boyle, Marty Feldman, and, above all, Gene Wilder. We also talked about the sometimes uneven movie output of director Mel Brooks - and why this might be his most beautiful film.

Of course, we picked our favorite scenes from the movie, such as "Could be worse. It could be raining," and "I was going to make espresso," to "Sedagive," "Abby Normal," and "He was my boyfriend."

So take a roll in the hay and watch out for werewolves as we go deep on "Young Frankenstein."
