Jeremy is joined by Chris Arnsby to discuss the 1968 psychodrama The Swimmer starring Burt Lancaster and based on a story by John Cheever. This symposium includes discussion on the subjects of PEGOTs, grey flannel suits, the anticipation of sauce and the notion of twist endings.
Further reading on the film is this article from Bright Wall, Dark Room, which looks more deeply at the film.
THE SWIMMER takes place in an affluent Connecticut suburb, and for Ned Merrill (Burt Lancaster) it is where he confronts all of his dreams...and deceptions. According to Judith Crist, "Burt Lancaster gives the best performance of his career," as Ned, the troubled suburbanite, who one summer morning decides to "swim" home via the pools of his wealthy friends.

054 - PLAY TIME
Anthony Malone joins Jeremy to discuss 1967's epic comedy Play Time, starring, co-written and directed by Jacques Tati. As they dissect the film they immediately decide is a masterpiece, they also touch on Terry Gilliam, The Prisoner, Peep Show, architectural prophecy, silent farce and all the joy of the world.
Considered by many to be Jacques Tati's masterpiece, PlayTime is a perfectly orchestrated city symphony. Shot on 70mm on a huge constructed set of concrete, glass and steel, the film was the most ambitious project Tati ever took on. Now diligently restored in-line with the filmmaker's particular, perfectionist approach, audiences can once again enjoy the expansive scope of his comic vision.
I think Jacques Tati's PlayTime is one of the unrivaled great films of all time, but rather than talk about its socio-economic commentary or its myriad of slapstick gags, let's take a minute to dive into its extraordinary (and extraordinarily fun) Royal Garden sequence, and explore the inner workings of chaos unfolding.
053 - LUCY
Jeremy is joined by Chris Arnsby to mull over the 2014 sci-fi action thriller Lucy, starring Scarlett Johansson and Morgan Freeman and written and directed by Luc Besson, in a discussion that covers such diverse topics as Ed Wood, Chris Morris, Carl Sagan and the film's 1970s remake.

052 - PRINCE OF DARKNESS
Jeremy is joined by Anthony Malone for a discussion pertaining to John Carpenter's 1987 quantum horror Prince of Darkness, starring Donald Pleasance. Their conversation covers such matters as broken-down cars, academic dissertations, future sitcom stars and Joe Pesci impressions, while Anthony is tickled by the notion of an Erich von Daniken theme park and Jeremy is interrupted by an actual ghost.

051 - MOONWALKER

049 - THE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN
As one superteam convenes on the big screen, another assembles in Cinema Limbo, as Jeremy and Ed Bloomer wade through the mire of 2003's graphic novel adaptation The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, based on the book by Alan Moore and starring Sean Connery, in a discussion that takes in Bananaman, being Whoed out and unlimited exasperation.
We didn't go into any detail on the lawsuit connected to the film which soured Moore on Hollywood, but there are some details here, here and here.
Sean Connery leads a stellar cast in this breathtaking epic adventure in which a legion of superheroes - including an immortal, a vampiress, an invisible man, a monster and a spy - must track down a madman intent on launching global Armageddon! But first they'll have to achieve the impossible - working alongside one another.
048 - EVEN DWARFS STARTED SMALL
Jeremy and Chris Arnsby take a long jump into left field for Werner Herzog's 1970 satirical fantasia Even Dwarfs Started Small, taking in crucified monkeys, hypnotised chickens and drowned rats on the way.
As well as the usual trailer and product links below, enjoy some highlights from Herzog's bizarre career.
The inhabitants of an institution in a remote country rebel against their keepers. Their acts of rebellion are by turns humorous, boring and alarming. An allegory on the problematic nature of fully liberating the human spirit, as both commendable and disturbing elements of our nature come forward.
Werner Herzog (1982) Copyright London Weekend Television/Melvyn Bragg This video uploaded for non-commercial use only www.getusedtothebear.com
This piece of video already exists on Youtube, but those do not include English subtitles. As there are many non Germans out there who would like to know what the hell they are talking about I uploaded this. The video is taken from Werner Herzog's documentary "My Best Fiend".
In 1979, Les Blank took a detour to film German filmmaker Werner Herzog honoring a vow he made to Errol Morris that he (Herzog) would eat his shoe if Morris ever actually made one of his films he was forever talking about.
from the BBC
In this scene, Herzog is bored to tears talking to a penguin expert so he asks the seemingly flippant question, "Can a penguin go insane?" Yet the very next scene we see just that - out of a swarm of penguins heading to the mating grounds a lone dissenter makes make a sharp right and head towards the mountains in a full-speed waddle.
046 & 047 - REVIEW OF THE YEAR 2017
Jeremy is joined by both Chris Arnsby and Antony Malone as they present their thoughts on the last year in movies. In the first part of this epic adventure, they tussle with Bananaman, stand-up comic David Bowie, all the Draculas and enjoy a libel that was cut before release.
Jeremy, Chris Arnsby and Antony Malone continue their journey through the last year in film, as Chris pursues a family vendetta, Jeremy insults Mexico and Antony is hypnotised by a French screen legend.
