BrendanW Brendan and Jason go back to films somewhat related to movies on the BFI Top 100 with And Now for Something Completely Similar.
Following the legendary Lawrence of Arabia (#3 on the list), the guys talk about the follow-up nearly thirty years later – Lawrence After Arabia starring Ralph Fiennes in the title role. They discuss the difficulty of following up a war epic with a very small-scale movie, Brendan wonders if there is a homoerotic tinge to the relationship between Lawrence and Faisal, they talk about the movie’s weak attempts to mimic the original and more.
Next week: The guys continue the non-BFI Top 100 journey by talking about the 2006 remake of The Wicker Man.
