Welcome moviephiles to new episode of the Reel Film Nerds! Today we have an amazing Legacy Cast for you, Spaceballs!! This movie was requested by Matt’s buddy and co-worker Derek Nanke, thanks Derek for the request! Right off the bat things start to get crazy in this pod! Matt talks about his dad taking him to see Spaceballs in the theater as a kid. He also talks about Star Wars probably too much but how you can not right Spaceballs is 95% of a rip on Star Wars! Mike explains where his obsession with male genitalia came from and how much fun he had watching this movie. Matt typically watches it at least once a year but Mike has not seen Spaceballs in a very long time! Sit back relax and grab a big glass of water to help with your 4th of July hangover because this is a long pod, almost a full hour!
Clearly Matt and Mike both love this movie without question. Mike loved it a teensy bit more than Matt probably because he has not seen Spaceballs as an adult! Mike hands out the very first perfect rating in the history of the Reel Film Nerds with a 5 out of 5 Reels!!! Matt loves Spaceballs without question but he does not think it is perfect, damn close but not perfect. He gives Spaceballs a 4.5 out of 5 Reels. Thank you for subscribing and listening to our podcast! We will talk at you next Tuesday with another Reel Film Nerds movie review!

After squandering the fresh air in the distant planet Spaceball, the good-for-nothing President Skroob orders the arch-villain henchman, Dark Helmet, to abduct the adjacent planet Druidia’s Princess Vespa to strong-arm her father, King Roland, to provide them with the code to the planet’s atmosphere. Under those circumstances, the seasoned mercenary, Lone Starr, and his trusty half-human, half canine sidekick, Barf, will attempt to save the princess in distress, while at the same time, the ruthless loan shark, Pizza the Hut is after them. But in the end, only he who can harness the mystical and mighty force known only as “The Schwartz”, will be able to save the day.
