Young Frankenstein (1974) - with author Christopher 'Coyote' Choate

Greetings! In this week’s episode of Stamper Cinema, we’re heading to Transylvania for one of the greatest comedies ever made: Young Frankenstein!

Released in 1974 and directed by Mel Brooks, Young Frankenstein features an absolutely ridiculous comedy dream team, including Gene Wilder, Peter Boyle, Marty Feldman, Madeline Kahn, Cloris Leachman, Teri Garr, Kenneth Mars, and Richard Haydn.

Shot in gorgeous black and white and deliberately modeled after the classic Universal horror films of the 1930s, the film recreates the look, atmosphere, sets, lighting and even filmmaking techniques of those old movies. The result is a comedy that somehow manages to be both a hilarious parody and a genuine love letter to classic horror.

And joining me for the discussion is retired Air Force pilot and now author, Christopher “Coyote” Choate.

Enjoy!
