\"\"<\/a>Here’s a podcast with Chris Morris, the writer\/director of the suicide bomber satire, Four Lions<\/em>.

And for those who wonder why the notoriously press-shy Morris consented to an interview (he hadn’t volunteered for one in almost 15 years), I certainly asked that question, as well as about the inherent homoeroticism of the military, and how a journalist can chase his own tail searching for an overall meaning in a comedy. That last part refers to Morris’ brilliant hipster parody Nathan Barley<\/em> and as I’m aware that not everyone has seen Morris’ TV work, like my podcast with Jordan Brady<\/span><\/a>, I’m providing a visual glossary below for the many references made to Mr. Morris’ work.<\/p>\n
