Podcast: Download (Duration: 44:47 — 35.9MB)

Will Remmers joins Josh to continue their conversation about the Criterion Channel. For this episode, they discuss “The Lovers” – stories of love and loss – and give a few recommendations for films that fit the theme. Plus, Matt Gasteier of The Complete podcast shares some tips and tricks for navigating the Criterion Channel’s digital supplements – and makes the case for spending time with the Channel’s interviews, commentaries, and supplemental documentaries.

Note: Will did choose films that expire February 29, 2020, so we are including links to these films’ Just Watch listing in order to direct our listeners to alternate avenues for viewing these titles.
