Legendary French comedian Jacques Tati takes the hot seat in the new season of Reel Rap

Sick of living in a DeLillo novel? In the Season 7 premiere, the Reel Rap boys are sending good vibes your way. Listen to Shane and Bennett discuss the films of French funnyman Jacques Tati. This week, they’re slathering on the zinc oxide and pouring up a hot white wine to talk Monsieur Hulot’s Holiday (1953). The film, Tati’s second feature, introduced the director to a wider audience and welcomed his signature Hulot character into the world. The boys break down Tati’s intricate gag construction and the hard work that goes into relaxing.
