It’s good to be the king...until you’re revealed to be a blatant sex offender. This movie is as much a sword and sandals comedy as it is a Harvey Weinstein throughout the ages historical fable. Join our resident cinephiles (not as bad as it sounds) Paco, Jason and Terry as they reveal the nuances of a comedic giant like Mel Brooks, and his downward turn in a genre that Brooks himself helped to pioneer, as well as the ways in which he’s still got it at this point in his career. All things considered, Brooks was still able to Count De Monet.
