I'm All Right Jack (1959)

EVERYBODY OUT!  For this week's show Tyler and comedian & writer Meryl O'Rourke downed tools and refused to record a podcast until their demands were met! To pass the time they chatted about the cracking 1959 film I'm All Right Jack, starring Peter Sellers, Ian Carmichael, Margaret Rutherford, Terry-Thomas, Dennis Price, Richard Attenborough, Sam Kydd, Victor Maddern and many others. They ascribed superlatives aplenty to Irene Handl and Liz Fraser and proposed a motion to officially acknowledge that Esma Cannon was criminally underused!  The film is still strikingly relevant in many aspects and they were able to draw parallels between some of its themes & issues and current events some 60+ years later. Has the world really moved on all that much?  As well as talking about the film itself there were many conversational meanderings via The Young Ones, Battleship Potemkin, Frankie Boyle, Mick Lynch and what is likely to be the first and last reference to Little Mix ever on Goon Pod!
