Watch With Jen - S6: E16 - Physical Media: Part 4 - JEAN DE FLORETTE & MANON OF THE SPRING with William Boyle, WITHNAIL AND I with Sean Burns, & CHUNGKING EXPRESS with Blake Howard

Welcome to the fourth installment in our Summer '25 suite of episodes devoted to recent Physical Media releases from The Criterion Collection. This will be the last new episode of Watch With Jen before I go on a brief summer hiatus but I'm hoping to return with more wonderful shows & conversations you'll love in mid to late August. SAINT OF THE NARROWS STREET novelist William Boyle returns this week to discuss Claude Berri's lush, tragic masterpieces JEAN DE FLORETTE & MANON OF THE SPRING, my hilarious & brilliant Boston buddy Sean Burns joins me for Bruce Robinson's cult classic WITHNAIL AND I, & Blake Howard & I venture to Hong Kong for some "California Dreaming" & Tony Leung c/o Wong Kar-wai's CHUNGKING EXPRESS. During our pod break, you'll find more updates & film content on our Patreon (patreon.com/FilmIntuition) where you can sign up as a free member or one who donates monthly (for as little or as much as you wish) to help keep this show running, & check out everything from videos on overlooked film recs to essays on some of the movies most obsessing me at the moment, including a recent piece on WITHNAIL AND I. I'm wishing everyone a happy, healthy, & safe summer break.
