Spaceballs (1987) with Griffin Newman (Blank Check with Griffin & David) Eye of the Duck
-
- Film History
This week we investigate Mel Brooks' "Spaceballs" (1987) with Griffin Newman (Blank Check with Griffin & David, Masters of the Universe: Revelation, The George Lucas Talk Show, The Tick), and search for the scene at its center.
This is a podcast about movies, and the scenes that make them special. Usually on our show, we explore a film we love, a new release, or ask our guests to bring a movie they can’t wait to talk about. But this week, and throughout the summer, we’re devoting our show to 20th Century Fox’s Alien Franchise.
