For our 600th episode as Exploding Head Movies (DC for the Romans, 698 for long-time radio free gak listeners), we go mostly Gallic with music from Wes Anderson's 2021 film The French Dispatch. The podcast gods were amenable since I couldn't record this episode from home so we are successfully relying on the rebuilt server talking to the station logger properly to present what I feared would be a lost episode. Allons-y!
