  • Young Frankenstein Episode 51: What kind of Mad Max character is Inspector Kemp

    We continue with the town hall meeting as Inspector Kemp finally addresses the crowd. He reminds them that a riot is an ugly thing and apparently only bloodshed can bring it to an end. At one point, he monocle falls from over his eye patch and he has to clean it along the buttons of his uniform before putting it back in place. He begins to offer a counter-proposal to the HOA, telling them they need to make sure whether or not the young Dr. Frankenstein if following in his grandfather's footsteps.

    We are joined this week by the husband and wife podcasting team of Rick and Julia Ingham of The Mad Max Minute, who are with us for the first time on this, The Wilder Ride.

  • Young Frankenstein Episode 50: Meet the ratcheted arm of Dr. Strangelove

    The angry HOA meeting is still taking place and after a call to keep things from turning ugly, the elders call upon Inspector Kemp to say a few words regarding the situation of the new Frankenstein in town. After an hysterical series of slaps and movements to light his cigar and put his own finger out, the Inspector takes a few steps into the room to strike a pose and make sure all eyes are on him before he decides to speak.

    We wrap up the week with our guest, Tom Taylor, from the Indiana Jones Minute who spent the week with us here on The Wilder Ride having fun discussing the film Young Frankenstein.

  • Young Frankenstein Episode 49: Frankenscience

    We watch as Dr. Frankenstein begins to fool us and himself that he is okay with his failure, only to turn around and begin to strangle his own dead creation. After Inga and Igor are able to gain control of him, they struggle to take him back upstairs as the young Dr. Frankenstein calls for his mommy. We then shift to an angry town hall meeting where the male villagers have gathered to raise their grave concerns over the happenings at the Castle von Frankenstein.

    We continue our discussion, joined by Tom Taylor of the Indiana Jones Minute as he takes a break from their discussion to be a part of The Wilder Ride.

  • Young Frankenstein Episode 48: How do you kill someone who is actually already dead?

    We continue from yesterday with Dr. Frankenstein still administering CPR but even with his own hand in the way to cushion the blows, he cannot seem to bring his creation to life. He makes a valiant attempt to appear noble at the failure, but eventually his anger gets the better of him and he begins to choke the life out of the already dead hulk.

    Today we once again welcome back Tom Taylor of the Indiana Jones Minute along with the Movie Hole Minute to The Wilder Ride as we continue to breakdown Young Frankenstein.

  • Young Frankenstein Episode 47: Is the body hot or cold?

    The storm as faded and the doctor checks for some initial signs of life before demanding to be lowered. While descending, he feels for any warmth to the creatures head or face. Once down Dr. Frankenstein continues to look for signs of life as Inga rushes over to him. He then begins to perform CPR on the creature.

    We are once again pleased to have Tom Taylor of the Indian Jones Minute join in with us on today's episode of The Wilder Ride.

  • Young Frankenstein Episode 46: Did those goggles used to hold potted meat?

    Now that Dr. Frankenstein has ascended, it's time for the lightning to do its thing while Igor is commanded to throw the first, second and the third (not the third) switch. Dr. Frankenstein commands the universe to bring his creation LIFE! After a moment, while the storms fades, there is a eerie glow pulsating on the face of his creature.

    We are pleased today to be joined by Tom Taylor, one of the host of The Indiana Jones Minute as well as The Movie Hole and ABCDevo. He comes to The Wilder Ride with a healthy love of Young Frankenstein.

  • Young Frankenstein Episode 45: Gene Wilder gives his finest performance of the film

    Dr. Frankenstein delivers what can only be described as one of the best monologues since Shakespeare himself penned a phrase. We now see why Premiere magazine ranked Gene's performance in this film as being in the top 10 best performances of any film of all-time.

    Closing out the week with us on The Wilder Ride, we are happy to again have the host and co-host of B.K. on the Air, Barry King and Mike Clark.

  • Young Frankenstein Episode 44: How many licks does it take to get to the Tootsie-roll center of a Tootsie-pop?

    We begin with Inga's hand still massaging the back of the doctor's when he suddenly looks to her and asks to elevate him. The flustered Inga asks if he means to do it there, to which he says, yes, raise the platform. Recognizing he wasn't on the same page, she goes over to Igor where they both get ready to turn the wheel that will eventually raise the platform. Just before the do, Dr. Frankenstein confirms his creature is dead before beginning an almost Shakespearean monologue.

    Back again from their own live radio show, the guys from B.K. on the Air, Barry King and Mike Clark, join us on today's episode of The Wilder Ride and boy did today's show live up to that name!

  • Young Frankenstein Episode 43: Why are you shouting?

    We continue gearing up for the experiment with Dr. Frankenstein shouting for Igor to get down quickly. As he twice asks if Igor understands, suddenly, Igor is standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the doc, asking why he's shouting? After a brief pause to make sure Igor still isn't up there, they begin to ready the rest of the equipment, by turning on the generator and taking one last look at the monster on the table. There is a moment when the doctor is lovingly stroking the monster's chest, while Inga, feeling her affections growing, places her hand on Dr. Frankenstein's other hand.

    We are pleased to once again have Barry King and Mike Clark from the radio show, B.K. on the Air, joining on today's episode of The Wilder Ride.

  • Young Frankenstein Episode 42: You can copy all you want except for his head

    We begin with the experiment to bring the creature back to life just starting. It starts with a slow tracking shot of some huge and oddly studded boots on the feet of Dr. Frankenstein's monster. Inga thinks it looks hideous but the doctor thinks he's beautiful. He also seems to have a bit of a God complex forming. Igor is up in the belfry trying to get a dual-kite to stay up in the sky as a menacing thunderstorm is approaching the castle.

    Joining us again today on The Wilder Ride are the Host and Co-Host of B.K. on the Air, Barry King and Mike Clark.
