Ep. 39: We Have the Pieces Now We Need the BLUCHER!!: Commit One's Review of Young Frankenstein (April Fool's Edition)

Another Frankenstein movie....really? Who thought it was a good idea to try to make a comedy out of this and put Willy Wonka himself in the main role, while also putting it in black and white? Wait a minute....what are we saying??? APRIL FOOLS HATERS!! Will, Mike, and Sam have a little fun with their format in the spirit of April Fool's Day by looking at the Mel Brooks' classic 1974 film Young Frankenstein. Starring Gene Wilder, Peter Boyle, Marty Feldman, Teri Garr, Madeline Kahn, and Kenneth Mars in one of the finest casts put together, Brooks puts together a timeless classic in comedy (that still boasts a Certified Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes) with a plot that both honors the Universal films/novel and also creates its own identity for years to come while also giving many quotable lines and memorable scenes. It's a film that one can tell all involved had a lot of fun with and still holds up to this day. It is the Commit One's crew honor and privilege (not to mention relief to do a GREAT movie for a change) to cover this classic film.
