- Criterion Now – Episode 151 – CC40
Description:
Jill and Aaron take a look at the recently announced Criterion Collection 40 box set, which was based on the selections of guests who have visited their closet and recorded a video. We think this was a bad idea and strays from their vision, and we are not exactly sure who this is for.

Jill Blake – BlueSkyAaron West – Letterboxd1 hr 28 min - CineJourneys – Episode 13 – New Website and Japanese Films
Description:
Jill and Aaron welcome Joe Petrucelli. Joe is a founding member and listener of the Criterion Now podcast, but we didn’t get to meet him until he joined CineJourneys. He has been here since the beginning and watched this begin with no website, then barely a website, and now a full website, so we reflect on that experience with him. We also talk about the Japanese Films Journey, which was such great fun, and Joe was a big part of what we enjoyed about that.

Description:
Jill and Aaron welcome Caitlin Kuhwald. We had the great pleasure of working with Caitlin on the art for CineJourneys, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Usually when people see the website, the art is what they compliment. We also talk about Screwball Comedies and her Criterion covers.

Jill Blake – BlueSkyAaron West – Letterboxd54 min - CineJourneys – Episode 11 – Golden Globes, Awards Season, and Australian Film with Andrew Peirce
Description:
Jill and Aaron welcome Andrew Pierce from The Curb. He is also co-chair of the Australian Film Critics Association, and has written books on Australian Cinema. This past year he started voting for the Golden Globe Awards, which was really intriguing to hear about. Andrew takes his credibility serious and the Globes have a checkered past, and this year was surprising in that the Awards became part of the conversation again, in many ways thanks to Andrew and others who have tried to establish some dignity. We also speak about Awards Season generally, and he talks about the state of Australian Cinema.
