  • Criterion Now – Episode 157 – Flow, May 2025 Announcements

    Description:

    Jill and Aaron talk about Flow, which appears to be the first Janus Contemporary that will get a Criterion spine release. We then talk about the May 2025 Announcements, and the new trend of increasing the number of new titles with upgrades. We speculate whether this has to do with the Steven Rales and Indian Paintbrush acquisition.

          Description:

          Becky D’Anna joins to talk about Alex Garland, and specifically the films that have been released by A24 — Ex Machina, Men, and Civil War. We talk about the sense of dread that he creates and how he’s such an excellent writer. Becky compares his work to Ingmar Bergman. He uses sound and photography to accomplish this, and there are parallels to Hour of the Wolf, Shame, and others.

                          Description:

                          Celeste de la Cabra is a horror expert, at least in Aaron’s opinion. They spent some time going through Aaron’s Top 100 Horror Films of the 21st century. Celeste had not looked at the list beforehand, and it turned out she had seen 63 of the films. She had some great takes, as expected.
