About this episode

Bob and Mark discuss their favorite French films while navigating the potential for spoilers.

This time around Bob and Mark lean right into the pretentiousness and discuss the French cinema they enjoy. (For the title we decided to go for the middle choice of "films;" seems midway between "cinema" and "movies.") We do less spoiling than usual, but you should still beware. The dreaded SPOILER may rear its head at any moment in our podcast. 00:00 Intro 03:45 Le Samourai 07:01 Ghost Dog: Way of the Samurai 11:26 Disorder (Maryland) 18:39 Au Revoir, Les Enfants 24:28 My Dinner With Andre 26:59 Three Colors: White 33:41 L'Argent 39:04 Wasabi 43:15 Le Cercle Rouge 46:50 Army of Shadows 51:43 Les Vacances de Monsieur Hulot 55:21 Odds and Ends The Count of Monte Cristo (2002), The Count of Monte Cristo (2024), Gankutsuou , The Count of Monte Cristo (Depardieu), Amélie , The Red Turtle , A Prophet 1:02:12 Wrapping up
