25. 8 1/2 & Top Five

It's navel-gazing artist week on Film Chat! We've got a blast from the past in the form of Federico Fellini's avant-garde Italian classic 8 1/2, and a blast from right now as Chris Rock fictionalises his own life in Top Five. Who would win in a fight between Fellini and Rock? That's just one of the questions this episode does not address.Plus, we take look at Orson Welles at the pinnacle of his career -- drunkenly advertising champagne and board games -- and we discuss all the latest blockbuster tidbit news items.In a nod to the upcoming election, we also examine the favourite films of party leaders Cameron, Clegg, Miliband, and Farage. What's that you say, the election already happened? Most of those people have resigned? I don't know what you're talking about and I refuse to contemplate it.
