b"In the first of a special (our first ever) double header, Neil and Dario discuss new Irish comedy road movie\\xa0Apocalypse Clown.\\xa0As it debuts on Netflix following a short cinema run, Neil talks to 'friend of the pod', producer James Dean about his collaboration with the team behind the project, comedy music troupe Dead Cat Bounce, the project's gestation and journey to the screen and the place of comedy in film culture and cinephilia.\\xa0\\nThis is picked up by Dario and Neil who wrestle with the general (if only perceived) seriousness (earnestness?) of cinephile culture and how comedy is often ostracised or embraced tentatively at best, within it. To kick off the episode, Neil discusses the crowdfunding campaign from filmmakers Rob Curry and Tim Plester to preserve the moving image archive of folklorist Doc Rowe who has been documenting the calendar customs of the British Isles (amongst other folk practices) for over 60 years. Details on how to support the campaign and the film, with some excellent rewards, can be found here.\\n-----\\nYou can listen to The Cinematologists for free, wherever you listen to podcasts:\\xa0click here to follow.\\nWe also produce an extensive monthly newsletter and bonus/extended content that is available on our Patreon page:\\xa0https://www.patreon.com/cinematologists.
