In the most recent episode, your host Elise Hernke talks new movie by director Sophie Brooks, about what happens when a couple heads out to Ojai (get it?) for their first romantic getaway. Starring Molly Gordon and Logan Lerman, the movie observes the harm of a situationship by placing it under the most extreme circumstances and its kind of a delight to watch.

In this walk n’ ramble episode, your host Elise Hernke shares her thoughts on the latest addiction to the Knives Out whodunnit franchise “Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery.” Daniel Craig returns as Benoit Blanc, but the true leads are Josh Brolin as the head priest Jonathan Wicks and Josh O’Connor as his apprentice.

This week your host Elise Hernke has finally dipped into the Zootopia-verse starting at the sequel “Zootopia 2” (2025), which might be one of the best movies ever made?? A whole podcast could be dedicated to the themes and layers of this movie, so it feels like there was SO much left uncovered in this episode (including my animal counterpart Nipples Maplestick), but it was fun to dissect some first reaction thoughts. Please enjoy. If interested in more of my miscellaneous film and...
This week on this episode about the new Noah Baumbach movie "Jay Kelly (2025), starring George Clooney, Adam Sandler, Laura Dern, Riley Keough and Billy Crudep, your host Elise Hernke discusses the Scrooge-like tale and what it has to say about the legacy we leave behind. This discussion felt timely as the horrific news of the death of Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle broke through the airways and many of us have been reflecting on the beautiful and brilliant life of the beloved directo...
This week your host Elise Hernke saw the movie “31 Candles” (2025) at the Laemmle Royal theater. Starring as well as being written and directed by Jonah Feingold, this movie brings us a holiday rom-com that has the wit and neuroses of a Nora Ephron film. In this episode, we talk about the movie and the theme of “ruminating” (like the Lily Allen song) in films like those of Albert Brooks or John Cusack.

This week your host Elise Hernke watched Chloe Zhao’s “Hamnet” (2025) starring Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal. Based on the novel of the same name, this follows the famous William Shakespeare up until the writing of his tragedy “Hamlet” but largely from the perspective of his family who he leaves behind in the countryside in order to pursue his writing career. It’s a sweeping, breathtaking and heart wrenching narrative about love, loss and man’s connection to each other through ar...
On this weeks episode of Cinematic Breadcrumbs podcast, your host Elise Hernke reflects on the lessons we learn about love from a very Albert Brooksian afterlife in the movie “Eternity” (2025). Starring Elizabeth Olson, Miles Teller and Callum Turner, with Da’Vine Joy Randolph and John Early, David Freynes new movie is about a woman who gets to the afterlife and has to choose between her first husband who died in the war and her second with whom she built a whole life. It’s an a24 comed...
This week your host Elise Hernke talks about the new Yorgos Lanthimos joint “Bugonia” (2025) starring some of his favorites, Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons, about two conspiracy theorists who kidnap a high powered CEO because they believe she’s an alien. Brilliant! In this episode, we discuss how the Internet and all of its subgroups have given dark radicals a platform to capture the attention of vulnerable people (like incels and groupers). And what finding community online rather than in-pers...
Elise Hernke (your host) is back on the internet with a new podcast episode and new format because I am inspired! We will be walking around the neighborhood as I voicenote you my thoughts on a recent watch. This week it’s Lynne Ramsey’s “Die, My Love” (2025) starring Jennifer Lawrence alongside Robert Pattinson. It’s a visceral rabbit hole into the world of postpartum psychosis and Lawrence gives a thrilling, animalistic, guttural and intense performance I think we’ve seen yet and SHE W...
This week since your host Elise Hernke spent all of her free time catching up on the highly bingeable dating show Love Island (USA), this weeks episode exchanges movie history for a little pop culture & we are talking about the show. In this episode, you can expect a breakdown of why this is the best dating show on television, what has happened so far, speculations and comments about all of the Islanders so far, predictions about what will happen next and general thoughts and rambli...
Celine Song's follow-up to her beloved "Past Lives" stars Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal in a rom-com about the commodification of modern love, "Materialists." The film had a lot of promise, especially considering who was cast, but it falls short of packing a real punch. In this weeks episode, your host Elise Hernke breaks down what didn't work, but also dissects some of interesting themes that the film presents. Follow the podcast Instagram @Ingloriousbaguettes. No ...
This week your host Elise Hernke makes a case for the movie "Opus" (2025) directed by former GQ editor Mark Anthony Green, starring Ayo Edibiri, John Malcovich, Murray Bartlett and Juliette Lewis. The a24 "horror musical" got buried after receiving less than stellar reviews on the festival circuit. But it's actually pretty good! In this episode, we discuss why you should give it a chance, but speculate as to why people didn't seem to like it. Also in this episode, we talk about "Overcom...
This week we talk all things the new Ryan Coogler masterpiece, "Sinners" (2025), starring Michael B. Jordan as both Smoke and Stack. It is a movie about vampires in the Jim Crow South, it is about the transcendent power of the blues and it is an undeniable hit. Follow the Instagram @ingloriousbaguettes.

Happy 20th Anniversary to Joe Wright's BEWITCHING film, "Pride and Prejudice" (2005) starring Keira Knightley, Matthew Macfayden, Rosamund Pike, Carey Mulligan, Jena Malone, and Donald Sutherland, who seamlessly take on the iconic roles as Austen wrote them. I just love this movie. Follow the Instagram @ingloriousbaguettes.
"Companion" (2025) is "Barbarian" creator Drew Hancock's latest horror comedy treat. A perfect date night movie, it follows a girl who goes to a cabin weekend with her boyfriends friend group that goes horribly awry. Falling somewhere between 2011's "You're Next" and the masterful 2014 "Ex Machina," "Companion" explores gender politics, the ethics of technology and modern love. I also talk Met Gala 2025 & what I've been reading lately. Follow the Instagram @ingloriousbaguettes...
This week it's all about the 1927 German expressionist silent film that is considered one of the first full-length science fiction films ever made: "Metropolis" directed by Fritz Lang. Lumiere Cinema and Music Hall in Beverly Hills put it on with a live performance from Vox Lumiere, which reimagines the soundtrack to the classic film and performed it along with the screening. Aside from it being an incredible experience, what struck me the most is how relevant the films themes were: a r...
This week your host Elise Hernke takes a look at the legendary Lady Macbeth from three different lenses: Lady Macbeth the novel by Ana Reid, "The Tragedy of Macbeth" (2021) and "Lady Macbeth" (2016). She also imagines how she would put together a Renaissance Faire Film Festival... Hint: It would be an absolute banger of a weekend. Follow the Instagram: @Ingloriousbaguettes Further reading/sources: "A Knight’s Tale" (2001)"The Green Knight" (2021)“Donkey Skin” (1970)"The Tragedy o...
This week 4/20, the national stoner holiday, fell on Easter Sunday and it won't happen again for another 62 years, so it is cause for a CELEBRATION. This for my group looked like a double feature watch party starting with the 1973 version of "Jesus Christ Superstar" and followed by 2001's indie masterpiece "Donnie Darko." In this episode, your host Elise Hernke, starts by talking about a few recent headlines and some more highly anticipated upcoming films. Then, we look at the film vers...
