- Criterion Now – Episode 54 – July 2018 Announcements, No Bergman100, Come and See
Matt Gasteier joins to run down the 2018 July Criterion slate. We talk about a fantastic month with the first box set of the year, yet surprisingly without a Bergman inclusion. We speculate on whether Bergman100 will see a release this year, and we get into a lot of other film related topics and FilmStruck.
