This fall celebrate the artistry of three legendary filmmakers: Mel Brooks, Billy Wilder, and Howard Hawks - on the big screen!SPACEBALLS (1987) - OCT 3
"May the Schwartz be with you!" In Spaceballs , Mel Brooks rockets us into the absurdly hilarious galaxy of sci-fi parodies, lampooning everything from Star Wars to Star Trek . But beneath the jokes about intergalactic merchandising lies Brooks' genius at blending slapstick comedy with cultural critique. Join us as we explore how Brooks used the space epic as a canvas for satire, while reminding us never to take a galaxy too far, far away too seriously. Perfect for fans of cinematic hijinks, nostalgia, and jokes that land at warp speed.
MEL BROOKS
A master of satire and slapstick, Mel Brooks redefined comedy in film by tackling taboo subjects with razor-sharp wit and absurd humor. From parodying entire genres to poking fun at history and social norms, Brooks has a unique ability to make audiences laugh while subtly inviting them to think. As a director, writer, and actor, his films blend clever satire with visual gags, and his enduring influence on comedy is seen in everything from spoof films to sitcoms. Brooks’ fearless approach to humor is what makes him a true legend of the screen!
