The 35th annual Alliance Francaise Film Festival begins across Australia, showcasing the best of French cinema.

"I ask you a little of this childish simplicity, and to bring us luck, let me speak four truly magic words, childhood's 'Open Sesame'...Once upon a time..." -Jean Cocteau

And speaking of those very words, nearly a decade ago, Jasmine was delighted to see that Brows Held High would be discussing not only Jean Cocteau's take on one of her favorite fairytales, but comparing it to the Disney version, both of which she loved. Now, what better way to discuss this movie than inviting Kyle Kallgren himself to join her, Sam, River, Ilana, and Bryan in discussing this film that toes the line between surrealist and familiar, and went on to inspire countless other works of art, including the next part of this double feature...

HISTOIRE(S) DU CINÉMA (1988), France and Switzerland, written and directed by Jean-Luc Godard, original cinematography by Pierre Binggeli and Hervé Duhamel, featuring Jean-Luc Godard, Juliette Binoche, and Julie Delpy.

The Film Listology season of SpecialTopics in Media continues with an abbreviated assessment of the critically adorned foreign langugage film from renown French director Jean Renoir, 1939's The Rules of the Game. Highly valued for its groundbreaking use of deep focus and dolly camera movement, Renoir's coveted love lorn prewar social satire employs artistic expression as a means to encode class criticism. Garret and Scott debate whether the film maintains topical functionality while also asking if the film now feels more like "homework" than required viewing. 

Hosts: Garret Castleberry, Scott McMurry

Producers: Garret Castleberry, Will McMurry (Audio Engineer), Alli Garner (Cover Art), Austin Foster (Music)

This week, Cody and Matt take a trip to the beautiful French countryside in search of art, food, culture, and surgery. They discuss the tragedy of beauty standards, the melodrama of one man's guilt, and the absolute buffoonery of one character's musical motif. The boys also dissect a pivotal surgical scene and peel away the layers of what makes this flick such an inspiration to modern horror. 

Feed the dogs, pack up the ominous black car, and put on your masks for some Night Howls ooh-la-lunacy.

Thanks for listening!

Today’s movie premiered at Cannes 2022 and was the Cambodian entry for Best International Feature at this year’s Oscars (though it didn’t make it off the shortlist). It follows newcomer’s Park Ji-Min’s Freddie as she returns to Korea for the first time since her adoption as a baby by French parents. Our guest is comedian Josh Johnson, whose new special Up Here Killing Myself is on Peacock. After unpacking this new movie, everyone tries their best at a brand-new (and extremely trivial) movie trivia game about movie time jumps.

Alonso - Marry Me a Little by Roy Kirby
Drea - Jimmy Carter
Josh - NHL ‘95 for Sega Genesis
Ify - Pine Street Biscuits
