About this episode

Jen and Tim discuss the film The Swimmer with guest Charles, exploring its themes and related adaptations.

Jen and Tim throw a pool party and invite Charles of the No Homework podcast to talk about the enervating suburban world of The Swimmer! Here is a representative sample of the “Hi, Guy!” series of Right Guard ads starring Bill Fiore, aka Mr. Hunsacker in The Swimmer. And here’s Jan Miner , aka Mrs. Hunsacker, as Madge the Palmolive lady. Cheever was indeed only adapted once for the big screen, but there have been a scattering of TV adaptations. This one, The Sorrows of Gin from 1979, stars Sigourney Weaver and Edward Herrmann! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
