Such a great conversation!! For the longest time I didn't think I vibed with French New Wave, but then I really got into Truffaut's movies. The Doinel series especially is just so good, could easily spend hours more talking about them.

NEW EPISODE OF FRUITLESS! As is tradition, we kick off the year with a few low effort episodes because I'm very tired from the holidays. Chris and Jake join me to do a long cold open about craft beer and coffee before discussing the abduction of Maduro and some sports stuff.
