The BIG Sci-Fi Podcast

The 1987 Comedy/Sci-Fi Film

May the Schwartz be with you! Spaceballs may just be one of the greatest spoof films of all time, and our crew watched it again to gain fresh perspective on this now classic comedy film. We're all Star Wars fans and love the jokes, but does the film hold up today? Listen now to hear what our own ragtag crew of heroes thinks about Spaceballs.
