Show Notes

Oh boy!!! Here we go!!!🦩🦩🦩

This week, The Criterion Break returns, and what an episode to fire back with. Derrick and Andy bring all they can to the table to make up for Blake’s absence. The two discuss the Criterion adjacent release, Memoria, from director Apichatpong Weerasethakul. Memoria’s roadshow release strategy found its way to Sioux Falls and our hosts took it in as part of a double feature.

But what film was paired with the meditative art house experience?

An experience of a whole different kind, John Waters’ midnight movie, Pink Flamingos, played The State this past weekend and our hosts were able to take in the shit show. Andy and Derrick discuss the cult classic and express their complicated enjoyment and appreciation of the film that made Waters and Divine household names. 

Derrick (dervdude) AND Blake (therealjohng) can both be found on Letterboxd. Derrick can also be found on Instagram.

Andy can be found across social media at:
