    Daisuke Beppu joins Aaron and Mark, as they talk Criterion in Japan and the rest of the Criterion news. Daisuke has lived and studies in America and his passion for the Collection originated here, but he now lives in Japan and can speak to what it’s like being a collector there. He is also a prolific YouTuber, and has become a fixture on social media. We touch on a number of topics in this episode, including how we feel about Barnes and Noble hauls, Tarkovsky’s The Mirror, Loden’s Wanda, The Grand Budapest Hotel, Merchant Ivory, and plenty more.

    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.
