Shite & Sound
The Earrings of Madame de... (1953) & The Pink Panther (2006)
Season 1, Ep. 1
•
On the first episode of Shite & Sound, Finn and Uther watch two movies that could not possibly depict French culture in less flattering ways, 'The Earrings of Madame de…' (1953) and Shawn Levy’s remake of 'The Pink Panther' (2006). French accents. Steve Martin’s career. What do filmmakers think sex looks like? Uther explains the strange chronology of the Jack Ryan series while Finn grapples with some World of Warcraft related trauma.
The theme is 'The Knucks' by kazaamBLAM! (https://kazaamblam.bandcamp.com/)
