012 - THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER (1955)

Welcome to The Criterion Connection, a podcast about The Criterion Collection. On this episode Ian (they/them) & McKenzie (she/her) discuss THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER (1955)! We talk about why we think this film has been reclaimed by Criterion-heads and cinephiles alike, the themes we saw in this film and why patriarchy is (hot take) not good, and Ian picks a fight with male auteurs and they're insistence on treating Shelly Winters poorly. Other topics include: Ian discovers a new all time favorite, McKenzie watches another foodie movie and also Steve Martin as Barbara Stanwyck (???), and finally we highlight what's coming to our streams on the Criterion Channel in June!
