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 Jason Beamish and Josh Hornbeck to discuss Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s Gods of the Plague, starring  Hanna Schygulla, Margarethe von Trotta, Harry Baer and Gunther Kaufmann.
