100 episodes! What a long strange road it’s been and we have, of course, no choice but to celebrate by following up last years 12 GUESTS OF MANKMAS with a brand new TACULAR, the FRANCETACULAR! Of course we are naturally discussing the films FRANCE (directed by Bruno Dumont) and THE FRENCH DISPATCH (directed by Wes Anderson). We have a panoply (again, 12!) of guests to touch on topics such as “Is FRANCE funny?” “How do these movies depict journalism?” and “What do we think of French people?” We apologize for the obscene length, but we will be taking a short break so feel free to break up your listening to cover our absence! We wish a Very Merry Mankmas to all our listeners!

Thanks again to all Twelve Guests!
