We have a very special treat today for our WizPod Fam! Today’s guest is David’s godfather and legendary filmmaker Mel Brooks! Mel is a Hollywood icon most known for making comedic movies. He reminisces on stories of David as a kid and how he met David’s father Dom. Mel talks about how he defied studios and always stuck with his gut on what he wanted to do. Mel gives us all the behind the scene secrets on creating his most acclaimed films, from recasting a role due to an actor’s major injury, to huge film studios saying no to Mel’s films that would go on to become huge successes.
Does Mel think it is easier to make an audience laugh or cry? Does Mel Brooks watch ‘The Real Housewives of New Jersey’? What does Mel Brooks want the younger generation to hear?
