Imagine if parody versions of Sam Spade, Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple gathered to solve the same crime! (1976), which begins this marathon of films sending up popular genres. Next, at 10/9c, the canon is well roasted in Mel Brooks’ (1987) with Bill Pullman as lovable space rogue Lone Starr and Dom DeLuise as Pizza the Hutt. At midnight/11c, it’s the Western’s turn in the saddle as James Garner—who’d played the West for laughs on TV’s —is the uncannily skilled lawman wooing Joan Hackett (right, with Garner) in , from 1969. And Dean Martin began his four-film run as wisecracking Bond-esque spy Matt Helm in 1966’s (1:45am/12:45c). —
