Fancy Movie Time #18: Mon Oncle (1958) and Playtime (1967)

On this special double-feaster episode of Fancy Movie Time with Brian and A.J., the Fancy Lads find themselves in the charming French village/terrifying modernist hellscape that is the world of Jacques Tati in what many consider to be his two masterpieces: Mon Oncle (1958) and Playtime (1967). Does his sense of playfulness and incredible attention to detail make these films a Fancy Feast? Or does their somewhat lugubrious pacing make them a Failure to Fancy? One thing's for sure: the lads DO NOT speak French.

did you just find a French-style accordion cover of the Monk music somewhere, or was this an original? Both answers are frightening!

Also "oppai" is Japanese for "tits," which added an extra layer to the bit.
