This film covers #120 in the Criterion Collection, How To Get Ahead In Advertising by Bruce Robinson. LISTEN HERE: REVIEW
Chris got new glasses. If Harold Ross could be seen wearing eyeglasses in the offices of the New Yorker in the 1920's...he'd knock them off his face in incredulous wonder at the chance to contemplate the films of Bruce Robinson that star Richard E. Grant, like "Withnail & I" and "How To Get Ahead In Advertising". Oh, and we discuss 'Can You Ever Forgive Me?", starring Melissa McCarthy and REG...to which Jason decidedly says NO and Chris says, yes, he can. In this way we are both true to form. Of all things, IRON MAIDEN comes into focus thanks to Matt The Engineer's trenchant observations and clarifications of Chris and Jason's confusion over Bruce's Davidson, Robinson and Dickinson. Also a NEW SEGMENT: Jason Reads Chris the Entertainment Headlines to hilarity and a little dead air. J Woww, Travis Scott, Green Acres, and a few choice words from Morgan Freeman, too.
In this weeks episode the Odours team dive into 1989’s ‘How To Get Ahead In Advertising’! With a featured interview from the star of 2018 Blockbuster Hereditary, Milly Shapiro, and British institution Anneka Rice, the team discuss The Falklands War, Consumerism, Dogging, the rise of Yuppyism in Thatchers Britain, and the shared Twitter responsibilities of Richard E Grant and Jacob Rees Mogg.
Jeremy and Chris Arnsby cast off the shackles of commercialism to watch How to Get Ahead in Advertising, the 1989 satire written and directed by Bruce Robinson and reuniting him with his Withnail, Richard E. Grant. Their discussion of this dark and disgusting comedy covers such rib-tickling topics as George Orwell, Franz Kafka, Sergeant Pepper, Blake's 7 and Thomas the Tank Engine.
In our 104th episode we're talking spine #119 and 120 in the Criterion Collection: Bruce Robinson's WITHNAIL & I (1986) and HOW TO GET AHEAD IN ADVERTISING (1988).
