You really couldn’t make blazing saddles today. It’s a satire that while beloved belongs to its time. You couldn’t make “Veneno” in the 70s, and not just because it’s about a woman who became famous in the 90s. When blazing saddles came out whole categories of stories were relegated to less than savory media like pulp novels.
Also modern satire focuses on different topics because in the past 50 years a lot has changed. Even when you focus on racial issues “Get Out” is a product of a much more modern time than Blazing Saddles. And while i love Mel Brooks’s movies, I’m glad that the media about anti black racism that’s popular today is largely by black creators
