Do you remember when Bill Ackerman and I revealed our 50 favorite movies episode for the 10-year anniversary of this show? That was Part One in what eventually has become a trilogy! Little did you know, when I briefly had a Patreon, we did a sequel that was exclusive for subscribers.

I no longer have Patreon so not only do you get Part Two (50 More Favorites) but also the newly recorded Part Three (Another 50 Favorites), both available the same day as a birthday bonus treat. All in all, not only do you get 150 favorite films from the two of us, but that adds up to a total of 21 hours of podcasting about which movies that we love that you should see. Thank you Bill for committing so much time to this insane endeavor but the trilogy is complete, it is accomplished!

Two reasons this podcast exist: Film Junk and Patrick Ripoll. So I'm always grateful when Patrick returns since he's the OG co-host of this show. He's always doing killer work with Reg on 96 Greers that I highly recommend. But I vividly recall two moments of the past decade: his love of Clouds of Sils Maria and my love for Personal Shopper.

Made a mental note to put French filmmaker Olivier Assayas on the list of potential directors and the time has come to cover him. He will have a movie out later this year but there are plenty of past titles and new discoveries for both of us to discuss even if ultimately, he didn't become an all-time favorite for either of us. We cover the majority of his filmography and have plenty of laughs along the way!

Thank you to Patrick for being a consistently smart, insightful guest with plenty to say. No new episode in April but you'll get two special ones in May featuring Bill Ackerman early in the month and then Mitchell Beaupre later in the month!

Footnote: The opening comes courtesy of Assayas' Cold Water and a time when Patrick broke some glass recording the podcast.
