- Criterion Now – Episode 40 – Othello, Alexander Payne, Tales of HoffmanAfter a short break, Aaron returns with Will Remmers’ debut appearance. We discuss a lot of the news that we missed from the past few weeks, including potential Criterion titles like Hard Eight, Margaret, The Virgin Suicides, and Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. We get a little deeper into Orson Welles’ Othello and his final documentary, Filming Othello. Will is an opera expert, so a few topics are steered towards that topic and we briefly get into The Tales of Hoffman.Episode Notes6:30 – New Releases and Criterion News48:30 – Short Takes (Jim Henson, Jabberwocky)53:30 – Othello1:09:00 – FilmStruckEpisode LinksNew York Times – Women in Love RestorationAlexander Payne Closet VideoAsk Jim Jarmusch QuestionsWhy Barnes & Noble Wants Smaller StoresKristopher Tapley Tweet About Hard EightThe Beguiled – Sofia CoppolaActor from The Breakfast Club Opens Up About John HughesWhy Billionaire Charles Cohen Believes He Can Save the Riskiest Indie FilmsCohen Media to Celebrate 50th Anniversary of Claude Berry’s The Two of Us with New 4K RestorationJanus Films – A Nos Amours TweetJohn – Mackenzie – Apaches 1977Episode CreditsAaron West: Twitter | Website | Letterboxd| InstagramWilliam Remmers: Twitter | Letterboxd | Instagram| Utopia OperaCriterion Now: Facebook GroupCriterion Cast: Facebook | TwitterMusic for the show is from Fatboy Roberts’ Geek Remixed project.0 min
