This week, the Kicking the Seat Podcast remembers dreamer of dreams Gene Wilder. David Fowlie of Keeping it Reel joins Ian to discuss an actor, director, and author whose unique brand of soulful, manic comedy impacted a generation of movie lovers. The guys discuss Wilder's legacy and filmography (including some startling confessions about who hasn't seen what), and what we can learn from 2016's onslaught of celebrity deaths.
By way of supplemental material, you'll definitely want to check out Peter Sobczynski's excellent ode to Wilder on RogerEbert.com. And if you're in the Chicago area on September 13th, head on over to the Music Box Theatre for a double feature of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and Blazing Saddles!
Episode 148 is your golden ticket to sweet, sweet memories!
