CRITERIONAUTS

Great podcast exploring the filler for criterions catalog with films so pretentious and avant-garde that New York's Wooster group looks palatable in comparison. I would like to see an episode on films that are mandatory buys because I got seven samurai and loved it but outside of Kurosawa it's hard to figure out what parts of the catalog are worth buying. Keep up the great work!

These two sow the seeds so we may harvest the crop of knowledge. We can all become more in tune with the art of film making without having to watch such movies as "Salo"and "Sweet Movie".

They descibe the movies so well I feel like I never have to watch them! I would like a commentary episode, that would be awesome.

Criterionauts gives me a good laugh. Its regular people watching the movies that you normally expect only critics to fawn over. Some movies are good, some are bad, most are kinda artsy in some way or another. But these guys give you a breakdown of these… hits?… and you can follow along too. Most of the films they choose are on Netflix or Hulu so people can easily follow along so others can see why monster houses are weird and why there is always too much spaghetti.
