History Reviews -- History of the World Part I

While this movie was originally released in 1981, it has staying power and remains fresh today. Mel Brooks is mainly known for the Spaceballs and Blazing Saddles parodies, but History of the World Part I is the most overlooked of the collection. Through his satirical look at the epic historical movie genre, Brooks teaches us that “it’s good to be the king.” I have always found this movie by Brooks to be more fun than any regular history lesson. It also always makes me think “what if that’s how it actually happened?” It is a great movie to revisit for a laid-back weekend.

We reached out to the writer/submitter and got this info back...hope it's helpful. PBM: Pharmacy Benefit Managers are pharmacies that are owned by insurance companies. (CVS is one.) They negotiate with drug makers to get reduced pricing for medications, but they historically have not passed along those savings to patients. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/pharmacy-benefit-managers-staff-report.pdf MFN: Most Favored Nation pricing is a policy that means a country agrees to offer the same trade concessions (like tariffs or price reductions) to all member nations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). When applied to pharmaceuticals, it could disrupt global access, deter innovation, and obscure the deeper systemic issues in American health care. https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/05/22/the-global-risks-of-americas-most-favored-nation-drug-pricing-policy/Comment publication date: 6/23/25, 7:47 AMComment source: L E T T E R TO THE EDITOR
