Mark Hurne returns and discusses a lot of the latest with Aaron, including Lynne Ramsay’s Ratcatcher, Molly Ringwald’s take on her films in light of the MeToo movement, and the playful April Fools’ Jokes from boutique labels. Aaron gushes about King of Jazz, and we take a look at FilmStruck UK, some of the 4k restorations currently touring, the latest newsletter clue, and predict some Bergman hitting our mailboxes soon.

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.
