Bonus Credit 33 - Defender of the Television
Added 2023-06-21 20:34:12 +0000 UTCAll the bonus content you crave, concentrated into its purest form! Hear the panel pour over classic and trash film recommendations, lament the cruelties of the tax system and data tracking processes, and of course, dogs.
A SMALL DESCRIPTION OF EPISODES PULLED FROM:
- (Ep. 285) Pre-show. Tim shares the two worst words in the English language and a secret about streaming services. Brandon clarifies his thoughts on The Criterion Channel and Shudder TV. Tim tells the tale of Akiro Kurosawa, and his first time seeing Seven Samurai.
- (Ep. 285) Extended break. Can’t have a bonus episode without dog talk! Also covered: taxes, webcams, and the prospect of a live episode.
Comments
I can definitely see what Brandon is getting at - the people who watch these "important" films and put them in their top 4 on Letterboxd without properly interrogating if they actually liked or understood a thing are definitely a-type-of-person... but if we’re honest, we all catch ourselves doing this from time to time too so a level of self awareness is probably required when throwing those types of stones.

It's probably a bay area/new york problem where people make "knowing about film" their personality while researching no further than criterion.

2023-06-23 20:13:32 +0000 UTCMy favourite thing about Stalker is the part where the guy says "they say you only live but once" I was watching it with a friend and I turned to him and said 'Yolbo'
