We're puttin' on the ritz revisiting another of Mel Brooks' timeless comedies, "Young Frankenstein". This abby normal send-up of James Whale's "Frankenstein" and the Universal horror classics is a pitch-perfect masterclass, as Brooks, Gene Wilder, and the rest of the stellar cast put on a comedy clinic that, like the film's subject, achieved immortality. We're joined by comedian Tarik Davis (https://tarikdavis.com/) and film podcaster Sophia Ricciardi from Moviestruck (https://moviestruck.transistor.fm/) to celebrate Mel and Gene's giddy love letter to the black and white terror tales of the 1930s.
