One of the best film historians, commentators, and all-around most supportive film critics on the planet joins me for this special discussion on a classic.
Listen to this episode on:
For those who don't know, my favorite way to exercise has always been swimming. I'm slowly getting back into it as a regular part of my daily routine. Not only that, Frank Perry's THE SWIMMER is becoming an all-time favorite of mine with every viewing and I wanted to talk to a true film historian about it.
Sergio Mims returns to the show for another bonus discussion on this fascinating Burt Lancaster picture from 1968 that audiences were probably not ready for at the time. As always, I learned a lot from Sergio but we talked a lot about its themes surrounding toxic masculinity, suburban angst and so much more.
Grateful to Sergio for talking with me for an hour. This serves as a nice prelude to the upcoming Keith Gordon episode recording in a couple weeks about underrated films of the 1960s. Towards the end, we start talking about the state of cinema in general and even preview a couple of upcoming episodes later in the year!
