    Ivy Insights

    The Criterion Cast: Master Audio Feed podcast is an excellent resource for fans of the Criterion Collection as well as general film enthusiasts. The hosts provide a wealth of news, rumors, and insights into the Criterion Collection, while also diving deep into specific titles, directors, and genres. What sets this podcast apart is its ability to go beyond Criterion and discuss related films, artists, and boutique labels. It truly feels indispensable for anyone interested in expanding their film knowledge.

    One of the best aspects of The Criterion Cast is the extensive coverage it provides on the Criterion Collection. The hosts offer in-depth analysis and discussion of various films within the collection, providing valuable insights and perspective. They also keep listeners up to date with the latest news about upcoming releases and any other developments related to Criterion. Additionally, the podcast often goes beyond just talking about films in the collection by exploring tangents and discussing related topics, making it a comprehensive resource for cinephiles.

    However, there have been instances where a guest or one of the hosts tries to inject humor into the podcast that falls flat. This can sometimes come across as self-congratulatory or trying too hard for a cheap laugh. While this may be a minor quibble in an otherwise great podcast, it is something that can detract from the overall listening experience at times.

    In conclusion, The Criterion Cast: Master Audio Feed is highly recommended for both hardcore Criterion collectors and general film enthusiasts. The hosts' love for film shines through in every episode, providing listeners with informative and insightful discussions about various films within the Criterion Collection. While some attempts at humor may miss the mark occasionally, they do not overshadow the overall quality of this podcast. With its wide range of topics covered and engaging conversation style, The Criterion Cast is a must-listen for any film buff looking to expand their cinematic horizons.
