The monster's alive, and so is the second half. Luke, Westy and Matt pick up the story behind Mel Brooks and Gene Wilder's beloved parody, turning to the people who made one of the great comedies and the ending that seals it.
We dig into the crew behind the film — the screenplay, John Morris's heart-breaking score, and the gorgeous black-and-white visuals that recreated the Universal look — before breaking down the climax, the reception, and the film's lasting place in comedy history. Plus how Gene Hackman begged to play the blind hermit for free, and the hosts' final verdict and scores.
If you've not heard Part 1 — the beginning, the director, the cast, and the middle — go back and start there.
