90 Minutes Or Less Film Fest

When We Were Kings with Nish Kumar

Listen on

Episode notes

Sam Clements is curating a fictional film festival. He'll accept almost anything, but the movie must not be longer than 90 minutes. This is the 90 Minutes Or Less Film Fest podcast.

In episode 122 Sam is joined by Nish Kumar, comedian and co-host of Pod Save The UK podcast. 

Nish has chosen the Oscar-winning When We Were Kings (89 mins). Directed by Leon Gast, the 1996 documentary follows the legendary Rumble In The Jungle boxing match between George Foreman and Muhammad Ali.

Sam and Nish discuss the political background of the Rumble In The Jungle, why the film took 20 years to make, and how Nish's Dad took him to see Muhammad Ali at the Whitgift Centre in Croydon.
