Dirty Dancing is by far the lowest seed still remaining–can it hold out against Young Frankenstein to make it to the Final Four? We narrowly avoided a Monty Python-vs-Monty Python match-up for the quarterfinals–will The Producers pull off another upset and eliminate the Pythons completely? Will Blazing Saddles be able to put up a fight for Casablanca? Finally, the only match not to feature a Mel Brooks movie instead pits two Second City alumni against each other in Catherine O’Hara and Mike Myers–will it be Beetlejuice or Wayne’s World that advances? Let’s get voting!
