For our 50th episode this week, we're taking a one-week break from our Ghibli series to reflect. On episode #1 of FTF, we answered film questions in a few different categories to show where our tastes in films lied. Now we go back to that format with some new and some similar questions from that inaugural episode. We plan to do these checkpoints every once in awhile just to see where we're at in our film watching journey, and more importantly because they're fun to do. The categories we covered are listed below. We hope you enjoy!

With the 2022 Sight and Sound List going to be released sometime soon (a poll on the greatest films of all-time conducted every 10 years), we thought it would be fun for us three to come up with our own personal lists. Outside of picking the films themselves, the discussion was also fun in each of us revealing our own personal criteria and the variety of factors we considered when picking our lists. We hope you enjoy!

On Episode #22 of Floating Through Film, we take another break before starting our next series. The relationship between these two movies, Stanley Kubrick's 1975 film Barry Lyndon (2:30), and Peter Weir's 2003 film Master and Commander (38:22), shouldn't be too hard to figure out, period pieces. We also have another guest with us to talk about these two great films, a huge history buff and our good friend, Sean! We hope you enjoy!

On Episode #14 of Floating Through Film, we take another break before starting our next series. The idea behind this episode is that each one of us picked a SILENT movie we wanted to talk about. The plan is to use this format for future break episodes as well, for different kinds of subjects we can think of. We start with Dany's pick, 1926's The Adventures of Prince Achmed (1:26), then Blake's pick, 1926's A Page of Madness (17:03), before concluding with Luke's pick, 1928's The Cameraman (35:43). We hope you enjoy!

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!

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.

Dany's pick was Truffaut's 1962 film, Jules and Jim (17:14), Luke's pick was Godard's 1966 film, Masculin Féminin (37:14), and Blake's pick was Chris Marker's 1983 film, Sans Soleil (57:38).

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).

The five directors most commonly associated with this group are Claude Chabrol, Francois Truffaut, Jean-Luc Godard, Eric Rohmer and Jacques Rivette. We first give our overall thoughts on these influential directors, before turning to the second half the show, where we review Jacques Rivette's 1974 film, Céline and Julie Go Boating (15:50), and Eric Rohmer's 1986 film, The Green Ray (32:25).

In this inaugural episode of Floating Through Film, we thought we'd try to introduce ourselves through a few different questions relating to movies that will hopefully allow you to see our individual tastes and interests as we answer them. We start the episode (1:40) by answering a 2 part question: 1. What was the movie that opened the door of film for you? and 2. More importantly, what was the movie that got you to enter the room? After this discussion, we then move to the main segment of the episode (13:35), using The Oscars awards categories to talk about some of our all-time favorite movies. This was a really fun conversation, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
