Episode 232 - High Anxiety

In 1977, Mel Brooks was on one helluva roll with classic film parodies like Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein. But rather than talk about those, instead we’re gonna revisit his riff on Hitchcock called High Anxiety. While it has some good bits - because Mel Brooks - this is one where the worm started to turn for his particular brand. And we aren’t entirely sure why. High Anxiety just hasn’t held up as well compared to his earlier work, and that’s our dumb thesis. Enjoy! High anxiety, it's always the same. Ooh-XIETY, It's you that I blame. It's very clear to me, I've got to give in. High anxiety…You win. | 0:00 - Intros | 3:04 - The Gray Man (2022) | 11:10 - Discovery, Warner Bros., HBO Max | 17:35 - Prey (2022) | 23:20 - Marcel The Shell With Shoes On (2022) | 27:05 - Neon White | 29:15 - High Anxiety (1977)
