Episode 126 - It's Spring Break! So, back your bags because we are headed to... Gene Wilder? Yes it's Gene Gone Wilder month for March and we will be breaking down the film career of comedy legend Gene Wilder. For week 1 we start at the beginning with his first major film role and the first of his collaborations with the great Mel Brooks. In The Producers (1967) Wilder stars an accountant Leo Bloom, who along with Broadway play producer Max Bialystock hatch a plan to make money by intentionally creating a flop on Broadway. This is the original film which sparked its own hit Broadway play along with a remake. But this was a first time watch for all of us. Listen as we break it down.
