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.
