Published: Feb. 7, 2021, midnight

b'In this episode of Arthouse Drive-In, Robert and T take a rose petal bath in the legendary French classique The Rules of the Game (1939) by Jean Renoir. Yes, the upholstery of the car will never be the same, but it was worth it for T\\u2019s budding film studies clout. Listen along as they unravel the complicated web of affairs and show how this almost century old classique still holds its relevance today.\\n\\nRobert explains the pros and cons of auteur theory and explains how this film was incredibly controversial in France upon its release. T does his best to traverse the societal minefield of the aristocratic affairs that dot the landscape of this film and attempts to present a comprehensive synopsis without spoiling an almost 100-year old movie. And let me tell you, that ain\\u2019t as easy as it sounds.\\n\\nTag along as they crack open this rather pleasant egg of a movie, only to show the rotten yolk of society within. Some films just don\\u2019t pass the test of time, but much like an egg in the freezer, The Rules of the Game remains fresh even now. Learn all about the ensemble movie that Ocean\\u2019s 11 wishes it could be from the safety of our cozy drive-in.'
