HBD, Mel! - Melvin James Brooks (né Kaminsky), continues his work as a comedic force with which to be reckoned. In honor of one Hear Me Out’s favorite guys, here is a re-release of our episode covering his life and work. Ain’t it good to still be the king? Original description: Men in tights! Interracial friendships! Sexually liberated women! Satire in the face of fascism! For almost a century, Mel Brooks has been delightfully sticking it to The Man with his trademark blend of slapstick comedy and social commentary. Love that for him. In an episode that is on brand with the meshugaas of Brooks’ work, Aileen and Nicole go slightly off the rails while discussing his filmography, personal life and an exciting discovery about youngest son Max Brooks’ career path. There’s also a brand new, obnoxious round of Trapped in a Car plus everyone’s favorite segment, Blimpets, so hop on any ole blazing saddle you can find and head on down to the show. Yeehaw! Oh, and one last thing - FUCK ICE. ~*~ Email us pictures of your cats at hearmeoutpod.info@gmail.com!
