PREVIEW - #530 - Reading The Bellboy In Tehran

from Michael and Us · host Luke Savage and Will Sloan

Growing up in Iran under the shadow of American imperialism, filmmaker Mehrnaz Saeed-Vafa felt an unlikely personal connection with American cinema - specifically, the films of Jerry Lewis. In her documentary JERRY AND ME (2012) she explores Lewis as a symbol of America and a universal archetype for outsiders... but also runs into the limits of Lewis as a person. PLUS: We consider the legacy of Morgan Spurlock. PATREON-EXCLUSIVE EPISODE - https://www.patreon.com/posts/430-reading-in-105570192
