@Vocrobot This entire experience - hundreds of hours of research, recording, and editing - has been a surreal and gratifying one, and everyone’s contributions have meant a great deal to me. Onwards to whatever's next?

[Devan Scott @SadHillDevan]

Thanks in particular to @Vocrobot for editing an absolutely unreasonable amount of these episodes, and thanks to Ernst Lubitsch for reasons that should be all too obvious.

Well, the end of HOW WOULD LUBITSCH DO IT arrives today with our episode with Tim Brayton on CLUNY BROWN (1946).

It's a bittersweet one only in the sense that there's nothing left to cover - this has been among the more rewarding adventures of my life thus far!

[Devan Scott @SadHillDevan]

Two days until the big dead-German-director podcast ends...

[Devan Scott @SadHillDevan]

A fortuitous late addition for our penultimate episode of HOW WOULD LUBITSCH DO IT (@filmformally): Cahiers du Cinéma deputy editor Charlotte Garson joins us for a wide-ranging discussion of Lubitsch's pet themes and influence as we begin to close out the podcast.

[Devan Scott @SadHillDevan]

A last-minute addition to HOW WOULD LUBITSCH DO IT!

Screenwriter Mateusz Pacewicz (CORPUS CHRISTI) joins us to discuss the intersections between Lubitsch and Poland, and @DeusExCinema returns for a final word on HEAVEN CAN WAIT.

This one's for the completionist freaks among us.

[Devan Scott @SadHillDevan]

A momentous occasion for How Would Lubitsch Do It?, in which we finally talk a film from *this century*!

Matt Severson stops by @FilmFormally to discuss THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL, Wes Anderson's ode to Zweig, Lubitsch, and Mitteleuropa in all its forms.

A unique episode of HOW WOULD LUBITSCH DO IT (@FilmFormally) this week: a reading of frequent Lubitsch collaborator Samson Raphaelson's eulogy/memoir 'Freundschaft', as published on May 11, 1981 in The New Yorker.

[Devan Scott @SadHillDevan]

@dcairns And while we're at it: @dcairns absolutely knocked this recording out of the park, and his contributions to the show as a whole have been absolutely essential. My immense gratitude for helping me tackle such a heavy episode.
