The title has nothing to do with anything, I just saw the title of the film “Wife VS Secretary” and thought of the perfect way to improve it. Creativity in action.
Greetings from my hovel on the shores of the Bow.
This week, let’s pretend I am King and my first decree is to force everyone to watch movie double features of my choosing! Here’s today’s:
DUCK SOUP (1933)
Directed by Leo McCarey.
Rufus T. Firefly (Groucho Marx) is named president/dictator of the country of Freedonia and they end up declaring war on the country of Sylvania and it’s chaos and it’s hilarious and Groucho packs more jokes into 30 seconds than most modern comedies have in their entire runtimes… and speaking of countries being run by buffoons who don’t know what they’re doing resulting in millions of people who aren’t them dying horribly…
DR. STRANGELOVE, OR: HOW I LEARNED TO STOP WORRYING AND LOVE THE BOMB (1964)
Directed by Stanley Kubrick
One of the funniest films of all time, and one that sadly never stops feeling completely relevant. This would also pair nicely with Terry Gilliam’s BRAZIL if you wanted to extend to a triple feature. Basically, nobody is driving, the people in charge don’t know what the hell they’re doing and it’s going to end up getting everybody killed! The feel-good comedy of the season.
Currently Playing: Tosca Tango Orchestra – “Waking Life Original Soundtrack”
