The African Queen: “Gonna Take A Lot to Drag Me Away from You”

The real story here is how well can Tim and Matt resist doing the Toto bit. One of them fares better than the other. Also they discuss The African Queen, its precipitous fall between AFI lists, grungy Bogart, screen chemistry, and Africa. Tim then presents two films with African settings that are vital to the primary romance plot, John Ford's Mogambo and Anthony Minghella's The English Patient. Talk of orientalism, megafauna, The Scramble for Africa, world war geopolitics, and, of course, maps ensues.
