With Mel Brooks confirming a second Spaceballs, the first demands a second look.  Originally released 1987, the film is a spoof, mocking sci-fi tropes and the franchise mentality alike.

Last year, I wrote an article entailing the reasons as to why I believed that the movie Birdman would be a golden opportunity to cast a humorous, satirical eye on the superhero saturated market of Hollywood.
