Blazing Saddles (1974)

Dana and Tom discuss one of their mutual favorite comedies, Blazing Saddles (1974): directed by Mel Brooks, story by Andrew Bergman, starring Clevon Little, Gene Wilder, Harvey Korman, Madeline Kahn, and Alex Karras.

Plot Summary: When the new railroad route must change and go through the town of Rock Ridge, the conniving Attorney General Hedley Lamarr (Harvey Korman) looks for a way to drive out the town residences so he can snatch the land. Moreover, Lamarr talks the Governor into appointing the first black sheriff, Bart (Clevon Little), hoping to cause further chaos and disorder. When Bart arrives in town, he is anything but popular. However, he soon teams up with the Waco Kid (Gene Wilder), a washed-up gunslinger, who becomes his deputy. Will the people of Rock Ridge be able to stand against the scheme of Lamarr or will he get the last laugh?
