Film Club: Khartoum (1966) | Patreon Exclusive

One of the funniest, and possibly the best example of "yellow face" I can think of is in the Doctor Who serial The Talons of Weng Chiang. Notably, only the titular character is a white actor in racist makeup, and there are several east Asian actors in minor roles. The character in racist makeup at one point accuses another character of thinking that all Asians look the same, and watching it you're like "clearly not mate, because you've got racist makeup and prosthetic eyelids, and that guy next to you who has no lines is actually Chinese"

Does anyone know what watch Fin is wearing? Keep seeing it and trying to work out what it is

Micky Roony was also a hilarious old caretaker in Night at the museum 1, frustrating they didn’t make the connection after bringing up Robin Williams in Night at the museum 2, so close

the fact fins blackface name is Finikqua implies hes also in drag, very progressive for the time

Gents. I must say. I am absolutely trollied on a holiday in Gran Canaria. My Misses is being sick in our poorly functioning toilet as we speak and this a more than welcome distraction. But I must say, this is your absolute finest movie review to date. Bravo.

you could do an episode on john rabe, an actual nazi who saved 200k chinese people during the high 5 of nanking. i believe there’s a film about it in which he uses a swastika to hide escaping civilians. really throws you off

You need to watch “The man who would be king” it has some incredible black face by Sean Connery and Michael Caine

Guys, you need to do a film club for "the Terror of the Tongs", a 1961 crime caper classic

Great film

Get David MItchell on, by Vectron's beard

Going to need to find a way to get yourselves to watch Waterloo (1970)

Thanks for this guys. Our first child was born last Friday - and rather amazingly, doesn’t appear to have Downs, despite me taking the wife to your Leeds show last year. It was a tricky train ride home from the gig after she got wind of the Fin v History curse, and I must confess I was nervous. Cheers, a relieved dad.

You should do an episode on the Japanese programme Kamen raider. Just watched a clip where he's fighting a starfish Hitler.

Please do an episode on Oliver Reed. He lived a fucking hilarious life (and death). Fin will definitely have some affinity with his views on women.

Are we now just getting ‘film club’ stuff instead of Patreon episodes? Everyone is now doing it, and I am simply not interested in being in a fucking ‘film club’. I watch my own, borderline autistic, films alone when my girlfriend is out. She may be a figment of my imagination, but British film noir isn’t.

Did that weird looking British fucker misspronounce Cillian Murphy's name?

This subscription is already worth it and I only joined five minutes ago.

If you want to see some brown face, Spike Milligan and the very quickly cancelled sitcom Curry and Chips. He played an Irish/Pakistani called Kevin O'Grady and he is browned up. He also brown faced in The Melting Pot. A lover of racism.

Mr Olivier, watching you act really helped me get through a tough time. Can I just…can I just paint your face?

Lawrence of Olivier

Can you start putting the link as well as the embedded video - Youtube won't play embedded videos sometimes without a sign in that doesn't work, and the only solution is to click the actual video link and watch it on youtube rather than embedded on Patreon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAQzsGFat-Y

Re bad blackface performances, look up Stephen Fisher in Short Circuit and its sequel. It’s mad for late eighties.

I’ve often ended up drunkenly coming across some Oliver Reed interviews from back in the day. He’s a fucking boss. But seeing Parkinson and the other guests just openly mocking him as an alcoholic is fucking gross really.

Shakespearian Racism 😂

Finn needs to do a bookclub on flashman, it would be hilarious

Was genuinely nervous this week that you’d black up for the Patreon episode and get cancelled 😆

I was NOT ready for Mickey Rooney the Asian landlord 😂

We need an episode on Colonel AD Wintle, gordon of khartoum but in ww1 and 2. He has an insane wikipedia page

A beautiful painting. Matt Lucas making a final stand for blackface on the BBC studio stairs

Mickey Rooney is in Night at the Museum!! can't believe the lads didn't know this, after mentioning NatM 2 in this same episode

Boys Chris Lilly 2014 Jonah from Tonga trust an Australian to nail black face well into the 21st century

Blacked-up Hawk Down

Legend has it Charlie got empowered by this film and is sat behind the camera in blackface

Fin's blackface name being "Finiqua" (or at least that's how I heard it over Horatio) would imply he'd be a blackface drag queen And drag is woman black face already, so it's black face squared

I really liked how Finn gave it 5 stars but decapitated the 5th star in honour of the director. Fair fucks mate.

Thank you racist and gay for this bountiful Friday patreon, We can’t know 🙌🏻

Bloody links

Phwoooar.
