Criterion Now show

Summary: <p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-54620" src="https://criterioncast.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Criterion-Now-1200x630.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="630"></p> <p>Aaron is joined by Becky D’Anna and Martin Kessler and we discuss favorite comedies, Czech films, and Lost in America. Becky is a massive Ingmar Bergman and Albert Brooks fan, so we dig deep into Brooks with Lost in America, and a little bit into Bergman. Martin is a massive Czech film expert, so we got his perspective on some of the potential Czech films that could be coming to Criterion. We also talk about the Top 100 Comedies list from the BBC, and the usual Criterion news and FilmStruck.</p> <h3>Episode Notes</h3> <p style="padding-left: 30px;">17:30 – Czech Filmmakers</p> <p style="padding-left: 30px;">28:00 – List of Comedy Films</p> <p style="padding-left: 30px;">32:00 – Lost in America</p> <p style="padding-left: 30px;">57:00 – Short Takes</p> <p style="padding-left: 30px;">1:03:00 – FilmStruck</p> <h3>Episode Links</h3> <ul> <li><a href="https://wrongreel.com/podcast/wr313-terminator-2-judgment-day-3d/">Wrong Reel 313 – Terminator 2: Judgment Day</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.theterminatorfans.com/terminator-2-judgment-day-a-film-that-changed-my-life/">Terminator 2: A Film That Changed My Life</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/criterion/comments/6x8h6y/new_ghost_pages_are_up/">Reddit – Czech Phantom Pages</a></li> <li><a href="https://thefilmstage.com/news/the-100-greatest-comedies-of-all-time-according-to-bbcs-critics-poll/">BBC Critic’s Poll: 100 Greatest Comedies of All Time</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.albertbrooks.com/a-few-routines/">Albert Brooks – A Few Routines</a></li> </ul> <h3>Episode Credits</h3> <ul> <li>Aaron West: <a href="http://www.twitter.com/awest505">Twitter</a> | <a href="http://www.criterioncloseup.com">Website</a> | <a href="http://letterboxd.com/dsnt">Letterboxd</a> </li> <li>Becky D’Anna: <a href="https://twitter.com/hwoodminotaur%20">Twitter</a> </li> <li>Martin Kessler: <a href="http://www.twitter.com/MovieKessler">Twitter</a> </li> <li>Criterion Now: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/212026735952475/">Facebook Group</a> </li> <li>Criterion Cast: <a href="http://www.facebook.com/criterioncast">Facebook</a> | <a href="http://www.twitter.com/Criterioncast">Twitter</a> </li> </ul> <hr> <p><a href="http://geekremixed.com/">Music for the show is from Fatboy Roberts’ Geek Remixed project.</a></p>
