For this episode, we take a look at one of the raunchiest and non-PC comedies ever made: Mel Brooks' magnum opus, Blazing Saddles. As with all the movies in our Back in Time series, we tackle the most important question: Is it still funny?

With this film, we also have to ask: Could Blazing Saddles ever get made today? Well, of course, the answer is no. We'll not only talk about why, but also why the non-PC aspects of this movie keep it relevant in today's socio-political climate. Blazing Saddles is a comedy, but it's also loaded with hard truths.

Did you know that the lead part was intended for Richard Pryor? Or that Pryor was one of the primary screenwriters for the film? We've got loads for trivia on this classic film, plus an awesome wine pair, all on this episode of Cinemavino!
