- Can you name the half-remembered, formative film from our listener's past? Mark has completely checked out of this feature and decided he will no longer engage, but it remains The Nation's Favourite.

I think Nietzsche once wrote something about how suffering deepens a person. Mark is a puddle that needs to become an ocean.
@Jay Smith I wasn’t calling him shallow, merely enjoying his displeasure in the segment because it’s funny to see him so exasperated.
That sounds a lot like Billy Wilder’s Irma la Douce (1963).
That was the only movie that came to mind for me, though I was going to have to look up Jack Lemmon/Shirley MacLaine films to find the title. Thanks for saving me a Google!
The sad thing is I don’t think the person who wrote in is going to see his answer in the TH-cam comments. I hope he does 🤞
if this is the late 70s I think what might have happened here is the listener watched The Fall and Rise and of Reginald Perrin and then Billy Wilder's Irma La Douce possibly in the same evening and got them mixed up in his memory...
Apparently "Irma la Douce" has a scene where the fake alter ego is "drowned" in the Seine. That may be it. There was also a filmed French version in 1972. He might have seen that version if it was dubbed.
This feature HAS to be part of Kermode and Mayo’s future projects ! To quote the good doctor K, "10 more years! 10 more years!"
I love this feature, it is so much fun to watch.
Mark's dislike for this feature was funny but now it just makes it deeply uncomfortable to watch/listen to the program...
The sheer anger that's lying under and over the surface is excellent.
Early bird huh? Ill get there eventually….
The 13th floor had a cinema release and was pretty well advertised as far as i remember.
I appreciate Mark's honesty. I'd be prickly, too.
Irma la Douce (1963)
Yeah has to be this
Yap!
I saw The Thirteenth Floor in a theatre in Connecticut, so it didn't go entirely straight to video...
It sounds like the Kate Bush song, Babooshka.
I'm alllllllll yours
Someone should write a WTF about The Ninth Configuration to put Mark out of his misery.
Please stop traumatizing Mark.
I thought WTF was where we can show Mark how much he has taught us…. 13th floor is a gem
I know he's probably doing a bit, but even if so, it's wearing thin. If not, he really needs to get over himself. I hope they continue to run the feature on the podcast, even if laughing boy needs to recuse himself. It's a great section and it's not a vehicle for Mark to show off his encyclopaedic film knowledge.
"those were the days"
The feature that all the boys wanna be and girls wanna be with 😂
13th floor yes!
Has Simon vetoed your review of Arsene Wenger: Invincible becuse he's a Spurs fan Mark?
Second!
