In this episode, we delve deep into the Criterion Collection. We discuss the November releases, news, the Blogathon, and then we go into the rabbit hole. We talk extensively about numerous titles that have been “confirmed” that have not been released (we use quotes because nothing is definite) and others that have been rumored based on educated guesses, teases, restorations, and that sort of thing. This is a long episode, probably the longest we’ll ever do, but we wanted to do the topic justice. If you are the kind of person who loves to speculate what titles are coming soon, then this is the episode for you.
