Into the Antoineverse (feat. Bryan Cebulski)
On today's episode, Bryan Cebulski joins Josiah to discuss François Truffaut's Antoine Dionel saga--a series of five semi-autobiographical films following Truffaut's life from troubled child, to horny young man, to horny married man, and finally to horny divorced man. Are these films self-critiques or self-justifications? Does Truffaut know what a real job is? Is Truffaut the more talented Kevin Smith? All this and more on today's episode.
