Reel Rap: Tati’s ‘Mon Oncle’ (1958)

Shane and Bennett roll up their sleeves and button up their pants for a discussion of Jacques Tati’s delightful Mon Oncle

In 1959, Mon Oncle won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. A few days ago, it won Shane and Bennett’s hearts. With their first episode recorded in quarantine, listen in as the head Reelheads discuss neoliberal architecture, unclehood and one of the best comedies they’ve ever seen.

A comedy duo straight out of William Penn’s backyard, Bennett Glace, an adult Disney fan, and Shane Pfender, an ordained minister, have for years lent a critical eye to Hollywood’s most tedious auteurs. They are a comedy duo for film snobs and slobs alike. Exhausted by the current uninspired landscape of film criticism, the two work to find a new language with which to understand and interact with the films they cover on their inimitable podcast, Reel Rap.
