One Track Mind with Ryan Luis Rodriguez
Audio commentaries are the embryonic form of podcasting, and this show looks at the art of filmmaking through the greatest of these tracks. From comedy to drama, live-action to animation, good and bad, we run the gamut of cinema in a lighthearted, hopefully enlightening fashion. It’s the only commentary-centric show that matters because it’s the only one that exists. (As far as we know.)

It’s Good to Be the King: The Films of Mel Brooks, Part I (with Nathaniel Jonsson)
This week, it's the first part of a three-part deep dive as we dial back the clock to the late 60s and detail the pre-Zucker/Abrahams/Zucker master of parody, Mel Brooks. It's finally time for three legitimate comedy classics including the most delightfully offensive song in film history and the endless joy afforded by cowboy farts!
Plus, Nathaniel Jonsson of "At the Devil's Ball" stops by to help your wonky yet affable host dissect (see what I did there?) 1974's "Young Frankenstein"!
This Week's Recommendation(s): “I Married a Witch" (1942)
