In our second "A History Of..." series after the success charting the rise of A24 Films, we are looking at The Criterion Collection. The company that is the premiere destination for your favourite hard to find art house flicks, out of print classics, B-movie masterpieces, retrospective boxsets and the best special features of any home video distributor. We look at their start from Janus Films back in the 1950's to being pioneers of CD-ROMs under the Voyager banner to putting out the best Laserdisc's, DVD's and BluRay's.
