Wait, so that Ozzie-Osborne-like-bad guy from G.I. Joe who could change the color of his skin made a prequel of that totally problematic Heath Ledger movie from the early 2000s?  Well, not quite.  Actually, you know what, that’s pretty much exactly what happened.  Join us as we discuss Zoltan Korda’s remake of a remake of a remake that was eventually remade, remade, remade, and remade again.  We are joined by our good friend Max to contemplate Victorian imperialism, sun blindness, and the real color of pineapple.

It’s number 4. It’s Fellini. It’s a beloved and highly influential 1970s nostalgia-infused takedown of everyday people living in and under fascist Italy. And yet for all of these things, it’s truly one of a kind.

There’s a reading of this movie as Jean Renoir’s exercise in delayed gratification. What’s a cancan? Is that a cancan? Will they cancan? Oh no they can’t cancan!! But maybe, just maybe… No they can’t! And then just when you’ve given up all hope: they can cancan! And by god, they do. (Spoiler alert.)
