I recently returned as a guest on the We Love to Watch podcast to discuss Jean-Pierre Melville’s coolly detached hitman thriller Le Samouraï (1967) as part of their ongoing “Hitmania” theme month.

Aaron & Peter were kind to invite me back after previous discussions of The X from Outer Space (1967), Brigsby Bear (2017), Dagon (2001), The Fly (1958), and Xanadu (1980). It’s always a blast to guest on their podcast, since I also listen as a fan. Their show is wonderfully in sync with the enthusiasm & sincerity we try to maintain on this site, so I highly recommend digging through their back catalog if you haven’t already. And, of course, please start by giving a listen to their episode on Le Samouraï below.
