Episode notes

Heading on back to the 70’s for some western comedy, Fish & Squid laugh and groan their way through Mel Brooks’ classic, Blazing Saddles. Squid gets artsy with Cinematography while Fish focuses on Continuity from scene to scene. While the movie has some language and violence, don’t worry if you’re squeamish. There won’t be blood… this time.

Warning: Spoilers for Blazing Saddles within.
