Criterion Reflections – Episode 100 – Dennis Hopper’s The Last Movie… and More!

For the 100th episode, David has a conversation with Alexander Cormier about Dennis Hopper's ill-fated magnum opus, and also does a bit of reflecting on his experiences in podcasting and blogging about the films of the Criterion Collection.

Criterion Reflections is David Blakeslee’s ongoing project to watch all of the films included in the Criterion Collection in chronological order of their original release. This fourth season of the podcast features conversations about movies that originally premiered in 1972 and were destined to eventually receive the Criterion imprimatur. In this episode, David is joined by Alexander Cormier to discuss The Last Movie, directed by Dennis Hopper. David also recorded some comments on his experiences and objectives in podcasting in observance of this program’s 100th episode.
