Shane and Bennett tackle the first credited onscreen collaboration between Elaine May and Mike Nichols

After an extended stretch through Elaine May’s filmography, Reel Rap jumps back to Mike Nichols’ films with 1996’s The Birdcage. With an Elaine May-written screenplay, the comedy features Robin Williams and Nathan Lane as a gay couple pretending to play straight when Williams’ son brings his fiancee’s family to meet them. Bennett also talks smoking cigarettes off the ground and ponders if John Travolta is the worst actor in the world.
