See
Hear podcast is back for 2016. Did you miss us???? Don’t answer
because….telling the truth can be dangerous business.
Tim,
Bernard, and Maurice discuss a film hand-picked by the wonderful
Frank Santopadre of Gilbert Gottfried’s Amazing Colossal Podcast.
That film is 1987’s Ishtar starring Dustin Hoffman and Warren
Beatty as Chuck Clarke and Lyle Rogers, two awful songwriters and
lounge singers who get sent to play gigs at a hotel in Ishtar, but
get caught up in American / Middle Eastern politics. Strangely
familiar?
The
film was a financial failure with rumours of creative conflict
between the director, comedian Elaine May (of the brilliant May and
Nichols duo) and Beatty & Hoffman. It has long been derided by
the critics and many others as one of the worst films ever made. With
bravery and fortitude, the See Hear Crew went in to find out if the
film was as bad as reports had made it out. We are pleased to report
that there was disagreement among the crew as to the film’s merits
– conflict makes a film discussion more interesting.. Forget Siskel and Ebert or Stratton and
Pomeranz. We give you the infamous Ishtar Disagreement of Merrill,
Stickwell and Bursztynski.
Many
thanks to Frank for this selection.
