Technically not in the 19th C last round... too early
And now we blow right by the 19th C and end up in the 20th C.
What is WRONG with us? Well, after all the death and blood, it's time to watch no blood and all the jokes. Mel Brooks takes on the The Western as an institution, as well as the Hollywood Production codes, which had just been axed in the early 60's to be replaced by the voluntary rating system we see today - G, PG, & R (General, Parental Guidence & Restricted)
But before those were solidified, Mel Brook went out to the Back 40 and skewered all the tropes, and made decades of people giggle at boundary pushing naughtiness. And you'll get to see how the "prim and proper" plus cowboy mythology is still painting us today - even if just by giving us stuff to rebel agains or fight over.
Saddle Up!
As always - you can reach us on the internets.
