Zach welcomes back podcaster and filmmaker Zack Beins (Talkin’ Troma) to unravel the strange story of a Talking Mule who became a hero as they dissect the 1950 comedy classic, FRANCIS.
After you have taken a breath from Francis’ vast (and often unfortunate) vocabulary, settle in as the boys talk about the wacky stories surrounding the project at its early stages, shale their heads at the way Universal rustled a mule for the film series, scrutinize every last detail of the plot, reckon respectfully with the verbiage of Francis, and ASSess the ways the film has influenced the works we see today.
Plus: Martin Scorsese proclaims Francis as CINEMA.
