'The Rules of the Game' (1939, Dir: Jean Renoir)

Ellis and Corbin talk about "THE RULES OF THE GAME," and are kind of bowled over by how much there is in it. Topics include: farce in collapse, the movie's technical achivements, and how it functions as a frustrated, bordering on nihlistic flipside to Renoir's other prewar masterpiece. 

Corbin reccomends "Link's Awakening," available on your Nintendo Switch or your Nintendo Game Boy. Matt reccomends a bar in Portland. Next week's episode is NOT about 'All that Jazz,' because it was hard to find on the internet and Matt got annoyed while watching it. Instead we talked about Alfie Hitchie's "NORTH BY NORTHWEST," which you can watch on Tubi.
