Episode 18: "Jack The Giant Killer" Comfy Trickster Heroes and Enjoying Silent Cinema in Abel Gance's Historical Epic "Napoléon"

Fake Film Fans

Swade is annoyed that Walter keeps ruining the bits that are brought in with sexual degenerate energy. However, asking Walter to ask proves to be incredibly difficult so maybe even if Walter didn't try to ruin Swade's bits, they still wouldn't work out properly (00:03:47) Swade and Walter share some of the toys they use to play as a child and of course, the types of toys they played reveal a lot of who they are today. (00:18:39) Swade reflects on some of the trailers he used to watch as a child and believes that is the reason Nathan Juran's "Jack the Giant Killer" from 1962 was so comfy to him. Walter asks why trickster heroes like Jack are interesting to so many cultures and starts to realize maybe his privilege has gotten in the way of him understanding Jack's legacy. (00:44:49) Terry the Trailerman is back to talk about "Chainsaw Man" new anime show that's coming out soon in 2022. (00:49:29) Walter brings Abel Gance's "Napoléon" and tries to spit out bad historical facts to see if they can bait some of their history podcast friends back onto the show. (01:09:53) Swade and Walter end the podcast arguing with each other because Walter didn't appreciate Swade's readiness to immediately dislike movies that are too long or too short.
