How to Get Ahead in Advertising - Say Hello to My Little Film Ep. 307

We’re kicking off the month of April with Rob’s episode of SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FILM! He continues to push Ray out of his comfort zone by recommending the 1989 Body Horror/Dark Comedy HOW TO GET AHEAD IN ADVERTISING! It centers on pompous ad executive Denis Bagley, who is neck deep in formulating a new campaign for a pimple cream, when he begins to question the moral validity of his profession. However, something decides to pop-up to force Denis back into the life he began to shun. This British cult classic stars Richard E. Grant (GOSFORD PARK, DEATH OF A UNICORN) in a truly Gonzo performance and sees him reteaming with director Bruce Robinson following their hit WITHNAIL AND I. A cynical and hard-hitting take on the state of advertising in the modern world, HOW TO GET AHEAD IN ADVERTISING finds a prescience for a world they didn’t realize we would be living in in the year 2026. But will Bruce Robinson’s rage at the late Thatcher-era England prove to be too preachy for Ray? Or will he be able to overcome the body horror elements to find something worthwhile? Tune in this week to find out! THEME SONG: Music and Lyrics: Jeremy Catarelli INTERMISSION: Music: Jay You Voice: Jeremy Catarelli
