On Episode #13 of Floating Through Film, we conclude our series on Charlie Chaplin! We aren't reviewing any of his films in total this week, instead we use this episode to go over our overall thoughts on Chaplin, how they might have changed or stayed the same while doing this series, what he means to us, etc. We then jump to a list of various questions we thought would be fun to answer about his films to get us to think and talk about his film career in more detail (16:25). The questions answered: Favorite Set? Best Female Lead? Favorite Score? Funniest Movie? Favorite Gag(s)? Favorite Short? Top 3 Chaplin Movies? We hope you enjoy!

On episode 8 of Floating Through Film, we do another one-week topic before starting our new series next week. We chose as our subject this week to talk about films that directors have made in countries that they're not from, especially in languages that are not in their native language. The list is huge and filled with great movies, so we just give some of our overall thoughts on this phenomenon in film history, before moving to our reviews for this week, Michelangelo Antonioni's 1966 film Blow-Up (18:03) and Paul Schrader's 1985 film Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters (43:05). We hope you enjoy!

On this sixth episode of Floating Through Film, we conclude our (first) series on the French New Wave!  We start this episode by wrapping up our overall thoughts on the French New Wave, including our favorite directors, films, etc., as well as talking about what we learned and how our opinions changed about these artists over the course of doing this series. After this, we move to the films we're reviewing this week, where each one of us chose one film from the movement that we personally wanted to talk about as we concluded.

This 5th episode of Floating Through Film is about the French New Wave filmmakers that weren't part of the Cahier du Cinema Group, commonly referred to as the "Left Bank" Group. The core members of this group were Chris Marker, Alain Resnais and Agnès Varda, but others at the time can also be considered a part of this group, especially including Varda's husband Jacques Demy. We begin the episode by giving our own thoughts on these filmmakers, and how we think of them in relation to the Cahier du Cinema group. We then move to the main portion of our podcast, where we review Chris Marker's 1962 film La Jetée (17:05), Jacques Demy's 1964 film The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (29:00), and Agnès Varda's 1962 film Cléo from 5 to 7 (48:26).
