Karina LongworthGUEST
Between the Cinémathèque Française and then all of these kind of small theaters that they have that show repertory film around the clock, almost every day of the week that I'm in Paris, there's something that I want to see.

And, you know, in France in the 50s, we had Henri Langlois, who is... aggressive curator of the Cinémathèque Française.

Rico GaglianoHOST
Talking about the time a simple staffing change at his favorite movie theater literally led to blood in the Paris streets.
Barbet SchroederGUEST
Because the police started knocking on us with sticks, but really like if we were a public danger.
Rico GaglianoHOST
The theater it was worth getting your head kicked in for was the Cinémathèque Française.
Rico GaglianoHOST
It's so important, back in film school they told us about it on literally the first day of class.
Whitney Crothers DilleyGUEST
also wanted to talk about, if you don't mind, I'd like to talk about two ways that Wes Anderson was honored recently in the past year.
Whitney Crothers DilleyGUEST
There was a major retrospective called Wes Anderson, the Archives, that was shown at the Cinémathèque Française and the Design Museum in London.
Whitney Crothers DilleyGUEST
And it was a major exhibition of 700 objects, costumes, props, puppets, the miniature of the Grand Budapest Hotel.
Whitney Crothers DilleyGUEST

Whitney Crothers DilleyGUEST
So I think that's so good.
