Spaceballs (1987): May The Schwartz Hold Up

About this episode

The episode revisits the cult classic 'Spaceballs' and discusses its impact and humor.

Do you remember Spaceballs? Of course you do. But how many times did you quote this movie with your friends? How many times did you try to re-enact the beginning of the Schwartz fight before someone inevitably got hurt or in trouble?Join us as we go back and re-watch one of the most beloved cult comedies of the 80s. We’re talking Lone Starr, Princess Vespa, Colonel Sandurz, President Skroob, Barf, Yogurt, the Dink Dinks, and of course the legend himself… Dark Helmet.Our expectations are set to Ludicrous Speed, and we’re hoping this is still the hilarious childhood classic we remember… and not our father’s brother’s nephew’s cousin’s former roommate… a dud.May the Schwartz be with us.
