I only discovered the Criterion Cast at the beginning of the year and, since then, have made my way through most of the back catalogue. While I do not always agree with the comments I always find myself learning about new films and directors, as well as ways of appreciating film. Your podcast always makes the tram ride to University faster and more enjoyable. Keep up the good work.
Continuing to listen from Melbourne, Australia.
FIVE STARS
An excellent movie podcast based on the Criterion collection. The new structure to the show has vastly improved in 2011. The guys on the show are friendly and funny yet exceptionally knowledgeable. They dedicate each episode to news, one Criterion film or interelated films and finally other things they've been watching. An entertaining podcast. Wish there were more!
