On this weeks episode, your host Elise Hernke talks Joaquim Triers latest “Sentimental Value” — the return of the force that is Renete Reinsve, the way her and Stellan Skaarsgard brilliantly play off one another as daughter and father, and  the playful seriousness of Elle Fanning.  For more, follow @ingloriousbaguettes on Instagram.

This week on Cinematic Breadcrumbs, your host Elise Hernke discusses Josh Safdie’s latest, “Marty Supreme” starring Timothee Chalamet, Gwyneth Paltrow, Odessa A’zion among others. I also read Flesh by David Szalay which stirred up a lot of thoughts about what is being referred to as “our crisis of masculinity” and the standards we hold for men in our society and how it has left men emotionally stunted. In the case of Marty Mauser, his selfish ambition takes precedence over everything else in his life and the film observes how this looks at different phases of his success.  Follow @ingloriousbaguettes on Instagram for more.

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.  For more follow @ingloriousbaguettes on Instagram. ❤️

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.  Follow @ingloriousbaguettes for more. ❤️

To kick off the New Year, your host Elise Hernke talks about one of the best movies of the year, Paul Thomas Anderson’s “One Battle After Another,” starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Benicio Del Toro, Teyana Taylor, Sean Penn and more.  Follow podcast Instagram @ingloriousbaguettes for more film related content.  Enjoy xx! 

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 television related thoughts please follow the pod on Instagram @ingloriousbaguettes. 🩷

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 director.  Hope you enjoy!

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.  Follow podcast on Instagram @ingloriousbaguettes.  💌 

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 art and their connection to themselves through nature.  For more content follow @ingloriousbaguettes on Instagram. Thanks for listening! 

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 comedy with heart. It’s tender but never saccharine and reflects on the meaning of love and the meaning of life in really valid ways.  Follow @ingloriousbaguettes on Instagram. 

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-person combined with the algorithms generating individual echo chambers for each user has done to us as a human race. What would the aliens think?!  Follow @ingloriousbaguettes on Instagram for more content. 🩷

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 WAS “SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK!!!” (If you are my one follower on X, ne Twitter, during the pandemic, you know what that movie means to me). I talk about motherhood, regretting motherhood (a book I recently read) and depicting depression on-screen.  Also, my chihuahua Vinny gets in multiple tussles on our walk because her normally quiet ass loves to steal the show.  Thank you for listening xx  Please follow @ingloriousbaguettes if you even care!!! ❣️

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 ramblings about the show.

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 show notes this week -- just my thoughts :)
