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! On today's episode, I was joined by @bryanonion.bsky.social to talk about François Truffaut's series of semi-autobiographical films, the Antoine Doinel saga. Available wherever you get your podcasts.

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.
