 This week, we donned our green tights (it’s a podcast, you can’t prove we didn’t), cranked up the Mel Brooks, and laughed our way through the 1993 cult classic Robin Hood: Men in Tights. Yes, THE movie that taught us all the real look of a chastity belt (which may or may not require a locksmith and a tetanus shot). 🎙️

On This Episode: We plot our course through the forest of slapstick jokes and musical numbers, wrestling with everything from medieval metal underwear to whether Patrick Stewart, as King Richard, has the power to knight another knight—or just act very, very British. 🌳

5 Keys You’ll Learn This Week:
Mel Brooks Movie Math: Why Jason prefers his Mel Brooks’ movies with fewer spoofs and more cowboys… and why Men in Tights sparks family feuds over which Brooks film reigns supreme.
Dave Chappelle’s Big Screen Launch: Discover why we can’t believe the original movie synopsis left out Chappelle (Achoo…Bless you!), and how he stole the show with both sneezes and style.
The Absurd Science of Chastity Belts: Ever wondered how a 17th-century chastity belt worked, or how to pee in one? So did we. And we had way too much fun not figuring it out. Patrick Stewart’s Knightmare: Can a knight knight another knight? We put on our tinfoil armor and try to break the code—Nate’s “ipso facto” theory included.
Spoof Logic Explained (Kinda): Why the Sheriff of Rottingham’s backwards wordplay is the linguistic gymnastic event you never knew you needed, and why sometimes, you shouldn’t get your movie history from Jason. 🌟

Fun Fact from the Episode: One listener reminisced about seeing this movie in the cinema with their family… right as the WHOLE ROW of seats collapsed backwards! Physical comedy wasn’t just on the screen—we hope they got a refund and some free popcorn. 🎬 Outtro: This episode, we weighed the critics (42%... ouch!) against the fans (81%—vindication!), and threw in a discussion on the laws of Robin Hood archery contests just for good measure. Does Men in Tights still make you giggle, groan, or snore? Jason nearly set a world record for “most stumps given,” while Nate remains forever haunted by visions of Princess Bride déjà vu. 👇 Call to Action!
