Mel Brooks: The 99 Year Old Man! • Now on HBO Max • Documentary by Judd Apatow

We watched the first part last night. Very well done, Apatow doesn't overly insert himself as the interviewer. Tons of clips of interviews that I'd never seen. I love how Apatow takes clips of Mel Brooks telling the same story on multiple shows, and splices them together to show how he's the master of pacing a joke.

And once again, I will never understand how Patton Oswalt gets himself inserted into every single documentary made.

Dude I’ve been wondering the same thing man

blazing saddles and history of the world are both on HBO as well, watched them last night.

If Blazing Saddles and History of the World are on, Young Frankenstein should get a showing on HBO, too.

Put de candle, back!

Nice Knockers!

if it is i'm watching it tonight. maybe just for teri garr



conan is right in that clip in the OP, and mel brooks did do whatever the frick he wanted to do. and succeeded in epic fashion. the big 3 are among the greatest comedies ever made, maybe the greatest

I can't count the number of times I've watched Blazing Saddles. Young Frankenstein many times as well. HoTW not as much as those but more than 5

he’s only in it briefly. The rob reiner scenes are tough to watch

watched both episodes last night highly recommend. I thought I knew a lot about Mel brooks but not nearly enough. For instance I didn’t know about his production company or his involvement in movies like the elephant man. And obviously I knew he was married to Ann Bancroft but the story of their marriage is inspiring.

If you are a fan this is a must watch

Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein coming out in the same year is insane work.

He did. It sucked. Came out a few years ago.
