Listen "Reel Rap: Russell Crowe's 'The Water Diviner' (2014)"
Episode Synopsis
After wrapping up Season 6 on Elaine May and Mike Nichols, Reel Rap moves to Russell Crowe's lone directorial effort. In 'The Water Diviner' Crowe plays a semi-mystic farmer who searches the stereotyped streets of Turkey for his three sons who are missing after the Battle of Gallipoli. In this episode Shane eats banana bread, Bennett demonstrates his Australian accent and shares how The Simpsons and Mary-Kate and Ashley informed Reel Rap's sense of Australian history.
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.
