When you ask Film Freak Central senior critic and former University of Denver film professor Walter Chaw a question, you're going to get an answer that's as articulate as it is profound. Friendly and contemplative, for Jen Johans, it was both an honor and a delight to speak with the former VP of Operations at Denver's Alamo Drafthouse about life during quarantine for introverts, advice he has for aspiring critics, his philosophy of film writing as personal excavation, the many rich and varied experiences he's had hosting movies and watching them with filmmakers, as well as his recent movie and music discoveries.

The type of conversation that begs to be listened to at least twice to fully absorb all of the striking anecdotes and pearls of wisdom he tosses off as easily and selflessly as if he were sharing the ingredients to his favorite recipe, Jen hopes you'll enjoy this chat with the great Walter Chaw as much as she did.
