Criterion Now – Episode 100 – Memory Lane, Wish Lists

Mark Hurne and Trevor Berrett join Aaron to celebrate our 100th episode. In this discussion, we first reminisce about the origins not just of Criterion Now, but of Mark and Aaron’s podcasting exploits including Criterion Close-Up and CriterionCast. We then transition to the big wish list episode, based on polling in the Criterion Now Facebook group. We had compiled a number of titles and box sets that people would love to see on Criterion, whether they are grounded in reality or not. We talk about the merits of the releases and what chances they have of happening.

Aaron West

I am a somewhat educated Criterion dork, with a History and Film Studies bachelor's degree and plenty of self-education over the years. My tastes are all over the map. Probably my favorite is 1930s French Poetic Realism, but I like everything from noir, to animation, to horror, westerns, and modern film. Usually I prefer film that challenges and requires something of the viewer.
