Watching Movies with Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner should be a TV show on TCM. :-)

I mean this is KZbin. Could you imagine a Reaction channel with Nathan Lane, Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner? Old Timey Comedians React To:

The way he describes two old guys watching movies, he makes them seem like college kids again.

[@JonBlondell]

You lived one of my dreams! You deserve it.

Do you wanna pee your pants, watch Sienfeld Comedians in cars having coffee, he picks up Carl Riener, for coffee, and gets invited over to dinner at Carl's if he brings the kosher deli food, and gets to hang and feed Mel Brooks, and Carl, hysterical

Mel is still here. When he dies so does American comedy. Sometimes ... just sometimes ... the Coen brothers do something wonderfully funny, but that's about it. Our society isn't funny anymore. It's base and cruel, and our populace is so illiterate. Can you imagine a millennial getting the jokes in "High Anxiety"? They know nothing of Freud or Alfred Hitchcock. It would go completely over their heads. I was 9 years old when Blazing Saddles came out and I got every single joke. At 9. Now, I was an unusually well-educated 9 year old, whose parents were brilliant and satirical and witty and when they fought it sounded exactly like Albee's George and Martha. So I knew something about absurdity and ambivalence. The same thing with "Young Frankenstein." I had watched all of those cheesy Frankenstein movies on The Late Show or on Sunday afternoons. I knew exactly what Brooks and Wilder were spoofing. And I loved Madelaine Kahn in that movie. I'd seen her the year before in "What's Up, Doc?" Another brilliant comedy from this same time period, and I understood all the references in that from having watched old comedies like "Bringing Up Baby." We were just smarter, more literate kids, and I was blessed to come of age in the 1970s when suddenly nothing was off limits and you could lampoon anything, especially Richard Nixon. I was too young to have listened to The 2000 Year Old Man, but we had David Frye doing brilliant comedy on Nixon and Watergate with his "Richard Nixon: A Fantasy," which is still today my favorite comedy album of all time. Of course Carlin and Pryor were producing good albums at this time as well. Everything was just so much more literate and witty. You had Woody Allen and the Pythons working at their peaks, as well. I am so happy I came of age when I did.

I don't think he had read her blog before agreeing to this interview. Just guessing.
