On the 19th episode of Shite & Sound, Finn and Uther watch ‘The Spirit of the Beehive’ (1973), Victor Erice’s bleakley beautiful look at childhood loneliness and disconnection in fascist Spain. The second film this week is 'Bee Movie' (2009), 80 minutes of Jerry Seinfeld just purging some jokes that weren’t good enough to tweet.
We try to figure out why The Spirit of the Beehive is so compelling. Bee Movie’s surprisingly violent heist sequence. How great is Patrick Warburton? Uther unveils his new role-playing game and Finn’s brain gets invaded by Junji Ito’s Uzumaki.
