019 - THE WATERMELON WOMAN (1996)

Welcome to The Criterion Connection, a podcast about The Criterion Collection. On this episode, McKenzie (she/her) & Ian (they/them) discuss a favorite of McKenzie's: SPINE #1184 - THE WATERMELON WOMAN (1996)! We chat about queer love and life, how this film shows the lighter side of lesbian relationships in contrast to other similar films, the 90s of it all, and just all around the humor of this indelible film. Other topics include: Ian has added another auteur to their list of filmmakers to be a completionist about, McKenzie chats T2 over on ADP and watched a Coppola (but which one?), and we still wanna hear what you are getting at the B&N 50% OFF SALE - let us know by sending us an email now!
