Season 5, Ep.1: Blazing Saddles (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Reel Poppycock is back in the Saddle again, and best believe we are coming out Blazing in our Season 5 premiere! This new episode covers the 1974 Mel Brooks comedy classic "Blazing Saddles," possibly the most influential flick in the comedy genre of the past 52 years. We can't forget the scathing social commentary either, as your hosts discuss the film co-star Gene Wilder described as one that "smashes racism in the face, but while making you laugh." Certainly better to smash racism in the face
Season 4, Ep. 13: Predator (1987) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
1987. Where it all began. Join Reel Poppycock as we welcome original co-host Joe Harrison back onto the pod to help celebrate Ed's birthday pick-flick episode. "Predator" displays the importance of tacking on mass, as beefcakes galore grace the silver screen, going up against an enemy that uses subterfuge as a weapon. Can Ed's "ice cube cheeks" withstand the piping hot quiz questions as the crew drills him on his special born day movie? You'll just have to tune in to the Season 4 finale episode
Season 4, Ep. 12: Joe Dirt (opens the original)
Read excerpt
"Hey! You're talking bout our (podcast) all wrong. It's the wrong tone. Do it again, and we'll stab you in the face with a soldering iron." That hilarious quote, belted out by the iconic Christopher Walken, may be the high point of the firework-filled fan-selected-film "Joe Dirt" that we are tackling today; but there might just be more to this movie than meets the eye. Written by David Spade, who also stars as the titular Joe Dirte, this flick marked Spade's first foray into leading man status.
