Spoofs
3/28/2026
Edmund Stone dishes out some film foolery with a show about spoofs, films that are parodies - and a lot of fun. You’ll hear music from parodies of genres as disparate as westerns (A Million Ways to Die in the West), horror (Scary Movie), and science fiction (Galaxy Quest). It’s a great way to prepare for April Fools Day!
