Episode 99: Jesus Visits The Criterion Collection

Prompts: Raspberry, Criterion, 549

We are ONE EPISODE AWAY from 100 episodes! We did it curators! Never thought we'd make it to 100, but we're so close. Thank you for all of your support. Lauren kicks off things talking about moving updates and why she never ended up doing improv professionally. Neal offers an alternative, Art History Improv, and since we didn't have video, you weren't able to see the look LT gave Neal!

Neal starts us off this week taking the word Criterion and 549 on the nose. He gives us a historical background of every cinephile and film nerds favorite closet: The Criterion Closet. Neal talks about origins, who started it, the first discs that were released, how a movie is even added to the collection, and badly makes a plea to go inside the closet himself.

LT takes over for a super informative look at Christ Washing the Disciples' Feet by Tintoretto. Lauren praises the wide nature of the piece (almost like Cinemascope, talking about film) and details each of the Disciples and how they are rendered down to the tiniest detail. Neal contributes with a comment and a question, and asks LT to rate his interpretation of one particular fashion item that may interest you!

Next week is our 100th episode! We want to hear FROM YOU!
