Criterion Now – Episode 85 – July 2019 Announcements, OOP Comebacks, Criterion Channel

Aaron is joined by David Blakeslee from Criterion Reflections and Jon Laubinger from Film Baby Film. We dig into the Criterion July 2019 slate, tackle some rumors about OOP discs that could potentially come back to Criterion or to another label. Finally we check in with the Criterion Channel and cover a series or title from each as our Short Take. We also talk about Lost Highway, Godzilla, Paris is Burning, Karel Zeman, and we give tribute to the recent passings of Bibi Andersson, Seymour Cassel, and Kazuo Koike.

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.
