47 - Federico Fellini - Fellini's Casanova

Ryan and Annie trade in the childhood fun of Amarcord for the grandiose and grotesque in discussing Fellini's Casanova. Fellini indulges in theatrical artifice like never before, but does this new artistic territory help him accomplish his ultimate goal to skewer the real-life Casanova?

46 - Federico Fellini - Amarcord

In discussing a particularly fun film, Annie and Ryan spend time in Fellini's childhood and get to experience both the hilarity and tragedy of growing up. It has them reflecting on their own upbringings and laughing along the way.

45 - Federico Fellini - Fellini's Roma

After both were pretty burned by "The Clowns," Ryan and Annie return to see something a bit more beloved. But will further docufiction work for them this time? Or will this discussion on the world's continual path forward be yet another misstep?

44 - Federico Fellini - I Clowns

After the bombastic insanity of Satyricon, Fellini partnered with an Italian television network to make a docufiction about his truest passion: clowns. It is inventive, strange, and fascinating (not to mention hard to find!) but is it good?! Ryan and Annie discuss within.

43 - Federico Fellini - Fellini Satyricon

Annie and Ryan take on a Fellini who has abandoned all sense of autobiography. In this new land with no focus on narrative and late 60's sensibilities, will our podcasters find a new side of the artist to love? Will they simply prefer that which they've lost? Find out within.
