I know some people think more highly of him than I do, but I’m not too interested in Bill Hader’s thoughts on Preston Sturges, Howard Hawks, etc. I’m not sure how he came to be an authority on 30s and 40s film.

Same with Rian Johnson or Louis CK or Greta Gerwig or whoever is talking about old movies. I’m sorry but these are not pantheon directors and their celebrity does not guarantee any special insight.

One area where has really been shining is with its spoken essays or two-person discussions about films. I've watched some of them more than once.

Not too impressed by the commentaries sometimes, or (recently) the lack of them.

Though it’s by no means a blockbuster release, though it was meant to be one film, and though there isn’t much in the way of special features, Criterion is of course taking the opportunity to charge for the price of two blurays. This company is so fucking greedy. They deserve to go under.
