It’s that time of year again, when we take a break from the many blockbusters crowding our theaters and take a look back at cinema’s past and all of its various artistic triumphs and oddities. This year, Sean tries to power through some of his Criterion box sets, John picks some Tarantino favs as well as horror-adjacent curiosities, and I just try to remember what old movies I’ve seen before. This is always one of the more fun podcasts we do each year, and this one is no exception. We’ll see you in Criterion Month!
