Criterion reached out to me recently to talk about their new release of 32 Short Films About Glenn Gould. I was delighted to see them announce a 4K remaster of the film. My own copy is from so long ago that I’m pretty sure it was in 480p. At first, I was just interested in seeing the disc, but I saw them mention that François Girard was going to be available for a few interviews.

My thanks to Diana and the fine folks over at Criterion, who had to really work to pin the time down for my chat with Girard. The new 4K release is a thing of breathtaking beauty, so make sure you pick it up in stores now. My thanks to François Girard, who was every bit as interesting and erudite as I hoped he’d be. And my thanks to Craig and Aundria for continuing to indulge my efforts to try to turn The Hip Pocket into something special for film fans of all types.

We’ll be back with new episodes of The Hip Pocket on August 29, and we’re already watching movies, one after another, to get ready for the great guests we’ve got lined up. Here’s hoping you guys are enjoying all of this as much as we are.

The Hip Pocket is hosted by Drew McWeeny and Aundria Parker.

Craig Ceravolo is the show’s bandleader and producer.It is a Formerly Dangerous Production.
