Each episode of this third season of the podcast features conversations with a variety of guests offering insights on movies that originally premiered in 1971 and were destined to eventually bear the Criterion imprint. In this episode, David is joined by Norman Buckley, Josh Hornbeck, Robert Taylor, Jason Beamish, Brad McDermott, Derek J.
