Part 6: Have you considered analysis? (ft. Miriam Bale)
Manage episode 327661387 series 3003260
This month, we're taking a look at Akerman's sole foray into the English mainstream via the 1996 rom-com A Couch in New York, while also taking a look at the 7-minute short that followed in its wake (the introspective Le jour ou) and looking backwards to a previous comic gem, 1984's 60-minute L'homme a la valise. Joining us for this spirited and lively discussion is the great Miriam Bale, returning Lodgers champ. Discussed: Jewish comedy, Akerman's physical comic chops, William Hurt as the end boss of WASPSs, and much more.
