It's the second part of episode 11, in which we cover Alice Guy's movies. Movies, after all, are just as much a part of film history as the people who made them (more actually).
In this episode, we discuss:
Faust et Méphistophélès (1903)
A Story Well Spun (1906)
The Drunken Mattress (1907)
A Sticky Woman (1906)
Madame’s Cravings (1906)
The Consequences of Feminism (1906)
La Esmerelda (1905)
The Barricade (1907)
The Girl in the Armchair (1912)
A House Divided (1912)
A Fool and His Money (1912)
Ocean Waif (1916)

That looks like a big list, but the episode is still fun I promise. If you would like to contact me, you can email me at historyoffilmpodcast@gmail.com. I will see you next week!
