[@andyk2587]

Favorite line from the movie: PUT! The CANDLE! BACK! The stress in Wilder's voice always makes me laugh!

[@stevepittman3770]

Yup, this was the first thing that popped into my head as soon as they asked about favorite line.

[@polypusher22]

Why Wes is wrong: You didnt have 30 years to watch and rewatch and quote this with your friends

[@shaggycan]

Teri Garr was diagnosed with MS in the 90s and retired from acting. Yeah she was great in so many ways. First saw her in Star Trek.

[@CutsToTheChase]

Would've eaten up a "Mister Seven" spinoff.

[@jimyoung9262]

As a young boy I was absolutely head over heels for Terrie Garr...

[@sandroabate]

Bleucher is German for glue, which is why the horses whinny. They don't want to be used to make glue.

[@vincegamer]

Not true. There are numerous theories as to why her name sets them off, none authoritative, but "glue" isn't one of them. Kleber is German for glue.

[@paulcooper3611]

I saw Young Frankenstein in the theater in 1975. I had just finished my 4 year hitch in the Navy and moved back home. My young bride and I saw it, laughed so hard that we went back the next night. You have to keep in mind that this long before the internet. We had to drive 40 miles into East Lansing to see it. The theater catered to the students of Michigan State University and was so popular that it ran for 6 months. We saw that movie 14 times before it left the theater. It is one of the few films I have on DVD.

[@django02]

Terri Garr was great in an episode of the original Star Trek series called Assignment: Earth.

[@vincegamer]

It was supposed to be the pilot of a spin-off series. I wish they had made it.

[@tcfonts]

Gene Wilder's last-minute replacement of Gig Young in "Blazing Saddles" is amazing.

[@davidw5993]

I worked for Mel Brooks's attorneys back in the early 80s and he was a nut 😂 He ended up sitting on the receptionist's lap answering phone calls

[@flyingardilla143]

I have distinct memories of watching Young Frankenstein and Dr. Strangelove with my Dad when I was a kid. We laughed at different jokes during both movies.

[@lmamakos]

OMG - Dr. Strangelove was great!

[@nataliet7470]

Young Frankenstein is for sure in my top 10 films! I always turn to it when I need a pick-me-up. “Sedagive” still makes me crack up every time 😂

[@Bikewer]

We used to hang out at a particular night club, and between a handful of us we could pretty much quote the entire movie….

[@shaggycan]

I agree about Gene Wilder, I don't think they ever quite figured out how to use him to his full extent.

[@Bonko78]

When I was maybe 8 years old in the mid 80's, my parents recorded Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein and High Anxiety from TV on our VHS and I watched the crap out of them. 'Saddles was probably my favorite but they all have so many fun moments. Hearing you guys talk about them makes me want to watch them again.

[@cristina3047]

The more times I watch the movie, the harder I laugh.

[@pacodance29]

"Hey, Blinkin!" "Did you say 'Abe Lincoln?'"

[@BrianRPaterson]

Correct! Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein are absolutely the two best Mel Brooks films. But Young Frankenstein is probably my favourite. Every performance from each actor is brilliant.

[@davidw5993]

It's about time Wes watched this masterpiece 😄

[@nicholasjanke3476]

One great thing about Young Frankenstein, is that-unlike so many other horror parodies where the films are just a series of cheap gags and not much else-in Young Frankenstein, Mel Brooks lavishes a ton of detail on the gothic sets, the special effects, the makeup and costumes. Mel Brooks gave the film incredible period detail to make much of the film resemble the 1930s (Woody Allen would later do the same thing with Purple Rose Of Cairo). The film isn't just a parody to the Universal horror films. It goes much deeper than it. Young Frankenstein is also a homage to the old Universal horror films.

[@davidcoleman757]

We rented a reel-to-reel copy and showed it at our school film club in the late 70s. It cracked me up then and it still does.

[@Cadmandu2000]

I always thought that in the brain fluid transfer, the Monster got some of the Doctor's intellectual, but the Doc didn't get the Monster's physical attributes, but rather his technique, drive, and stamina. That stuff could plausibly transfer better than a bigger schwanstucker could.

[@polypusher22]

My absolute favorite movie! "What knockers!"

[@jimyoung9262]

Ssank you doktor

[@sandroabate]

Young Frankenstein actually used the same props as the Frankenstein movies.

[@vincegamer]

I love that story. They wanted the same prop master and when they reached out to him he surprised them in that he had kept most of the props

[@lmamakos]

I literally LOL when the horse neigh sound effect got dropped into the video. Nice work.

[@jypziiatthecrossroads9047]

Blucher sounds like the German word for glue, which is why the horses were scared.

[@nicholasjanke3476]

The real Baron Frankenstein was an early 19th century, English scientist named Andrew Crosse. 1. Andrew Crosse was actually rich/titled 2.Crosse really did do bizarre experiments with electricity. 3. Crosse was pursued by scared villagers on his estate. 4. Crosse created a race of insects in his lab doing experiments involving currents of electricity into some test tubes of bubbling chemicals. Crosse could not have inspired the novel Frankenstein being (no pun intended) that he did his weird science experiments many years after the novel was published. But yes Andrew Crosse was no doubt the real life Baron Frankenstein.

[@sandroabate]

Young Frankenstein is in my top 3 favorite movies. It is a masterpiece.

[@robertcavanna789]

Gene Wilder's Willie Wonka was 100% a horror movie villain. How many casualties does he inflict w/ his elaborate child murder factory? It's basically a Saw movie with more colors and singing.

[@loathsomecomics2736]

A movie I hated was Hostel. One of the few movies that made me walk out of the theatre. Too much gore!

[@davidw5993]

Deeply disappointed in you, Wes. You chose to be THAT GUY 😂

[@coreydull6945]

Not sure if it qualifies Wes's criteria since everyone probably hates it but there was movie called Leprechaun(1992). I think I caught it a few times on HBO or something and I"d always spend 5 or 10 minutes hate watching it. I just couldn't understand why the movie was made and why the leprechaun would say so many stupid thing in such a short time. Was it supposed to be scary? Funny? Just fucking why?

[@MRDARRENGER]

Absolutely one of THE BEST comedies EVER

[@stevenspringer1599]

I'm going to suggest that growing up on a diet of Universal monster movies is the basis for 'love' of the film compared to 'like' by those who don't have that memory.

[@paulmehlhaff2588]

Wes, watch for a showing of Young Frankenstein in a theater! You might get a different feel for it surrounded by Mel Brooks fans who are out for a good laugh!

[@CloudCuckoo42]

I empathize with Ty. I grew up in a very similar household in the same era. Love that we share a love of many of the same movies. Great content, guys.

[@sandroabate]

Blazing Saddles ended the cowboy movie genre with its satire and ridicule of cowboy movie tropes.

[@snorpenbass4196]

Also the ruthless skewering of the inherent racism in the genre and the rose-colored glasses white America wore when watching westerns. Blazing Saddles was never ever on the side of the racists, always making the joke be on them, which is why even today it's got a minimal amount of problematic elements (the Yiddish Sioux _kind of_ works because of the Mormons and the whole "Lost tribe of Israel" nonsense).

[@josephgoforth9722]

movies that I just hate for no real rhyme or reason: any of the pauly shore films. something about that guy in the early 90s just annoyed me to my core being.

[@NocturneVid66]

Wes, You should sit down with your boys, and watch the original three Universal Frankenstein movies with Boris Karloff as the monster just to see how amazing a recreation of them Young Frankenstein really is. The Universal pictures have a wonderful charm and humanity to them. They are the fairy tales of my childhood, as I would watch them every time they came on our local late-night creature feature. Karloff is amazing as the monster, you see him more as an abandoned child than a soulless killing machine. Gene Wilder did an amazing job with the screenplay, both parodying and paying homage to the original Universal films. I think when you get a little more background on Young Frankenstein, you'll appreciate it a whole lot more.

[@jypziiatthecrossroads9047]

2 asterisks 1) Get Smart - the TV show. 2) My Favorite Year - Not Mels but a fictional recounting of his time writing for Your Show of Shows. Peter O'Toole just devours the scenery. His famous quote "I'm not an actor, I'm a Movie Star!" Doing a Parody of Errol Flynn. Small movie, big chuckles, not guffaws, but entertaining. Bonnie and Clyde was directed by Arthur Penn, not Peckinpah.

[@tcfonts]

Some of the lab props they used were from the original Frankenstein.

[@stevepittman3770]

Nah, Wes has it all wrong. I first saw Young Frankenstein in my late 20s and it's still one of my favorite movies of all time.

[@slartybartfarst55]

Wes not loving Young Frankenstein is understandable. Everyone has the right to be completely and utterly wrong at least once in their life.

[@nyrjoh]

Prometheus/covenant are favorite movies to hate. Scott murdered the franchise. Alien 3 is also one, murdering Newt and Hicks.

[@andyk2587]

Also, a movie not mentioned: Silent Movie. I watched it when it came out and loved it, but I haven't seen it since. It seems to be left off of lists and forgotten. Was it really that bad? Or do people just really not enjoy silent movies, even as a parody?

[@vincegamer]

It was the first movie I remember ever seeing in a theater and I remember loving it.

[@kvoltti]

It’s a niche one to be sure. But I enjoyed it. But I also like the Twelve Chairs

[@aws1776]

The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother (1975) is a fun follow up w/ Kahn, Feldman, and Wilder. Not for everyone, but I loved seeing them together again :)

[@imkurteh]

Most disliked movies? Tree of Life The purpose of the evolution of the universe (which we spend most of the first act watching) is that adult Sean Pen has mental health issues because of his shitty childhood where his father was Brad Pitt. Continually interrupted by Family Guy style cutaways to waves crashing on the shore, and at the end everyone goes for a silent walk on the beach. And the other: First Knight Expectations: Excalibur, but with Sean Connery. Reality. Not that. Not even close…

[@watermaniac207]

Wes, once you watch this with your family, then you will learn to love them...I mean it

[@rachelfrost6233]

History of the World: Part 1 was amazing. ROMAN RED.

[@OffRampTourist]

I love some parts of this film. I find most of his films to have lots of highs and lows. The ones I watch all the way through are Blazing Saddles, Life Stinks, and sometimes To Be or Not to Be (but the original with Jack Benny was better) and sometimes Young Frankenstein - but sometimes I just skip to my next favorite bit. Same with The Producers - both versions. Men in Tights and Space Balls are sometimes actually tedious. More times than not. I'm not sure I every finished High Anxiety, but I only love about 1/4 of the Hitchcock films it's spoofing. But I still love Mel Brooks. It's like if he had had a skit show on tv and I considered some of the skits unbeatable classics, but always skipped the reruns of some of the others. My favorite WIlder performance is in Blazing Saddles and I think that is why it tops my Brooks list. Leachman is my favorite part of Young Frankenstein.

[@NyimaWongchuk]

Great episode. Except for Wes. Wes - you’re embarrassing yourself.

[@jts8053]

Funniest movie of all time. I will hear arguments for Blazing Saddles, they are wrong but I'll hear them. All other films must exit quietly to the right. Madeline Kahn AND Cloris Leachman? C'mon!

[@jed2950]

They were colt monitors chamberd in 30.06 that were used to kill Bonnie and Clyde

[@odhinnfist]

Marty Feldman was amazing as Igor, just so good.

[@davidlericain]

If you like cruel humor, the best cartoon is Archer. Everyone know that!

[@gowkie3940]

Heya Ty mate. Can you please give George a ring and help him finish Winds please? Cheers! (Leviathan Falls is the greatest sci-fi novel ever written btw).

[@yensid4294]

I loved The Producers, Young Frankenstein & High Anxiety. The casting is perfect, the writing is witty & the cinematography works to set up the sight gags & humor. They are brilliant satires & hilariously funny. Spaceballs made it difficult for me to rewatch the OG Star Wars without laughing at the helmets. The only strong memory I have of that movie is the ridiculously large helmet that Rick Moranis(?) wore. George Hamilton did a Dracula spoof & that ruined the original B&W Dracula film for me. Children of the night--shut up! Richard Benjamin kept trying tto kill him unsuccessfully with silver bullets & used a Star Of David instead of a cross...I'm laughing just thinking about it.

[@NocturneVid66]

By the way, did you know that Mel Brooks produced The Elephant Man?

[@rachelfrost6233]

Oh, Wes...ok, I can't be mad at you....dammit...but, Young Frankenstein is really worth a few thousand watches.

[@mudmonkeymagic]

I would really like to see you guys discuss Beowulf.

[@dj-kq4fz]

It (YF) stands on its own, but rewatching the original Frankenstein movies helps some of the jokes work a little better. If someone hasn't seen the old Universal stuff, I can get how some of the scenes seem a little out of place.

[@jpd3070]

Ty, that Jon Lovitz movie with Teri Garr is "Mom and Dad Save the World". Totally remember that movie as a kid... I believe the lead besides Teri Garr is the principal from Ferris Bueller, yikes.

[@framehowitzer]

Young Frankenstein is pretty great, Spaceballs is wonderful too. I love Star Wars a ton but Spaceballs is still great!

[@derrickymilo]

I don't know Wes. If Mel Brooks and Gene Wilder don't tickle you funny bone, you probably don't have one. 😂

[@randykays5939]

Wes, watch it again with your kids!

[@laurakelly2611]

Bonnie and Clyde definitely not Peckinpah. It is Arthur Penn

[@ambermassengale6090]

There isn't a movie that I hate that I know of, but I do hate ending to The Mist. It still infuriates me til this day

[@f0rth3l0v30fchr15t]

I once read somewhere that the worst thing a character can do in a Frank Darabont movie is lose hope.

[@davids4610]

The Producers!

[@SharonAlston-mo1hr]

HEY GUYS! How about doing a George Roy Hill movie starring Paul Newman, Slap Shot. I think one of the best sports comedic movies. There's even a Canadian TV comedy show that is so much a tribute to the original movie.

[@tr_vmi4844]

One of the most perfect comedies....

[@brotherjustincrowe]

Arthur Penn did Bonnie & Clyde.

[@michaels.chupka9411]

patrons are wrong with "space balls." b.s., y.f., & h.a. all had scripts that gave the audience credit for being able to get the joke without beating them about the head and neck with it, like space balls.

[@jimyoung9262]

Wes only loves Young Frankenstein with the heat of 812 suns so he's bad.

[@Lauria43]

It is a great classic and funny, Wes. Come on, man! Lol love you guys.

[@kateelliott989]

Wes, go watch it again and esp with your kids.

[@Crocogator]

You finally sawed it!

[@sharpeslass5452]

I tend to agree with Ty more than Wes. Considering we're the same age, I suppose that's not surprising.

[@Lamprolign]

Love the videos, keep it up

[@tom.m]

It's a good thing Wes is pretty.

[@roovodi]

Noooo, let's discuss movies you love, dont make it hate-podcast, please! I learn storytelling by listening to you mentioning what movies did right, not what movies do wrong, which could be million+ infinity things.

[@billrhodes1705]

Movie I hate: Cocktail. Only movie I've ever walked out on. And I'll go ahead and say it... THX 1138 is unwatchable. I managed to get through it, but holy hell it was awful.

[@jimyoung9262]

THX 1138 is horrific. I will never understand why people go on about it

[@tcfonts]

What about "Silent Movie"???

[@BrevityTome]

NOT Peckinpaw Director is Arthur Penn

[@susansprague7304]

I'm with Wes on this - I have never particularly liked Mel Brooks.

[@ProfessD]

Arthur Penn directed Bonnie and Clyde

[@yensid4294]

Roll, roll, roll in the hay 😂

[@michaelestabrook2018]

abot and costelo meets the mummy maybe.

[@daplace902]

Sorry guys - did Not empathize with Terry, nor did I want to hang out with her character. Wanted to stay FAR away from a someone like her ... yikes !

[@gregdaley2661]

Movie Hate: Dusk 'til Dawn - splattervampires.

[@feygor]

Gotta say I lost some respect for you Wes. Not loving Young Frankenstein is a character flaw you should see about fixing. Next time you visit a therapist ask them if they can help you.

[@paulgledhill6316]

Unfortunately I agree with Wes!

[@sandroabate]

I hate any movie with Armand Assante, he can't act to save his life.

[@pacodance29]

I hate Gladiator. It's just not very good. The action was what I came for and it was all shaky cam and stunt doubles.

[@insertlastname]

No it’s eyegore

[@mudmonkeymagic]

The new star trek movies are utterly infuriating. The total butchering of the personalities of the original series (bones the only possible exception) and the trek 'ethos' are unwatchable.

[@HobbitFeet42]

Ty is right, Wes is bad and wrong.

[@kousetsuhana]

i didn't particularly like this movie either 😅😅😅 Ty forgive me!

[@fungiplays2289]

SEDAGIVE!

[@thomasdattilo3591]

Detail not required. Wrong is wrong and Wes is wrong

[@CloudCuckoo42]

Sorry Wes, love you buddy, but it hurts me deeply that to can’t see how great this movie is. Unsubscribing. lol.

[@PanosSpiliadis]

BLUCHER!
