COMMON CLAY: MEL BROOKS’ BLAZING SADDLES

“A deeply moral movie that tap-dances on third-rail subject matter and throws around verboten language to call out the racism and hypocrisy undergirding America’s cherished frontier myths. Blazing Saddles is as powerful a revisionist Western as Unforgiven or Little Big Man, it’s just incredibly silly about it. The film is full of childish humor, but treats you like an adult.” – Crooked Marquee, 01/30/2026
