    Matt Gasteier returns to catch up on recent Criterion news and discuss some foodie film in anticipation of Thanksgiving. We cover the February 2018 Criterions, introduce a new challenge called Febluary, and talk about rumors around social media including possibly another Kubrick. We spent a lot of time talking about food on film, whether it is from Criterion or other art films, and we discuss Babbette’s Feast and Eating Raoul in greater length.

    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.
