Reel Rap S6 E1: 'Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?'

Published: Nov. 21, 2019, midnight

b"Legendary comedy-duo-turned-filmmakers Elaine May and Mike Nichols are the subject of the sixth season of Reel Rap. Shane and Bennett kick things off with Nichol's directorial debut, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? Adapted from Edward Albee's hit 1962 play, Nichols' sharp-tongued, star-studded 1966 film lets the booze flow and the insults fly between Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, George Segal and Sandy Dennis. Shane and Bennett also share their favorite insults in the film, discuss how cleaning products have evolved and relive the craziest tears they've gone on. \\n\\nA comedy duo straight out of William Penn\\u2019s backyard, Bennett Glace, an adult Disney fan, and Shane Pfender, an ordained minister, have for years lent a critical eye to Hollywood\\u2019s 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."
