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 Josh Hornbeck, Derek J. Power, William Remmers and first-time guest Brian Howell to discuss The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant, directed by Rainer Werner Fassbinder.
