Reel Rap: Tati’s ‘Jour de Fête’ (‘The Big Day’)

Author Reel Rap Posted on

Bennett and Shane discuss Jacques Tati’s 1949 debut feature, Jour de Fête, in the latest Reel Rap

Recorded more than two weeks ago, the latest episode of Reel Rap takes us back to simpler, pre-quarantine times. Bennett opens with perhaps the best joke of his life and it’s all uphill from there! With Jacques Tati’s Jour de Fête (The Big Day) in the hot seat, your hosts discuss the three deadly sins of men’s fashion and, once again, marvel at Tati’s detailed physical comedy.

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.
