This website is dedicated to Agnès Varda and to Luis Buñuel. LA GRANDE BOUFFE (THE BIG FEAST) is the craft beer and movie podcast series with salty film critic Cole Smithey.
For its first 100 episodes, Millennial filmmaker Mike Lacy was Cole's co-host to copiously consume international politics and culture through the prism of a single film and a different craft beer each week. The Big Feast attracted a slew of contributing co-hosts, including Thelma Adams, Michael Somerville, Phil Holt, Jeremy Workman, Christopher Sherwood, and Mai Masri.
