Episode 1: The New Adventures of Aladdin (France)

Festive Foreign Film Fans

Festive Fans Unite! (send us a message)

This is our first episode of Festive Foreign Film Fans. Just the name is a mouthful -- imagine what the show is like. Bob and Mark travel to France to review the French film Les nouvelles aventures d'Aladin. Neither one speaks the language or has even travelled to the country (first mistake), so they offer great introspection. They also play a French Christmas song, sung by a non-French singer (second mistake) and discuss customs they know nothing about. You may not think this is a great investment of your time, but sometimes you need légumes when you can't have fromage. So, step out of your traditions and communities, and join us as we celebrate with a little Midwestern émerveiller and éblouissant!
