Criterion Reflections – Episode 40 – Norman Mailer’s Maidstone

David and William punch their way through Mailer's improvised apocalyptic tour de force.

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. Each episode of this second season of the podcast features conversations with a variety of guests offering insights on movies that originally premiered in 1970 and were destined to eventually bear the Criterion imprint. In this episode, David is joined by William Remmers to discuss Maidstone, directed by Norman Mailer.
