Criterion Reflections – Episode 73 – Peter Bogdanovich’s The Last Picture Show

David and guests cast their long, soulful, emotive gaze at this timeless American classic (from an appropriate distance of social isolation, of course.)

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 third season of the podcast features conversations with a variety of guests offering insights on movies that originally premiered in 1971 and were destined to eventually bear the Criterion imprint. In this episode, David is joined by Richard Doyle, Josh Hornbeck, Derek J. Power and Robert Taylor to discuss The Last Picture Show, directed by Peter Bogdanovich.
