Marquee Mixtape Alec Rodriguez

Apes have been dominating the silver screen with recent first run releases such as MONKEY MAN [https://letterboxd.com/film/monkey-man/], SASQUATCH SUNSET [https://letterboxd.com/film/sasquatch-sunset/], GODZILLA X KONG: THE NEW EMPIRE [https://letterboxd.com/film/godzilla-kong-the-new-empire/], and KINGDOM OF THE PLANET OF THE APES [https://letterboxd.com/film/kingdom-of-the-planet-of-the-apes/]. Naturally, this inspired programmer Steve McFarlane [https://www.instagram.com/dimension_____tide] to curate a sequel to his 2017 dual film series at Anthology Film Archives and Spectacle: Simian Vérité and Missing Links. This time around he enlisted Nico Pedrero-Setzer [https://twitter.com/NicoPSetzer] to co-program the new series with him — Primate Vision: Man or Monkey?

In this episode Nico sits with Host Alec Rodriguez [https://www.instagram.com/smrtalec/] to discuss the film series Primate Vision, the cinemas they're screening at (Spectacle [https://www.instagram.com/spectaclenyc/?hl=en] and Roxy Cinema [https://www.instagram.com/roxycinemanyc/?hl=en]), and they discuss Nico's journey as a NY-based programmer and film critic over the past few years since he graduated from NYU.
