You know why, as of this recording, CASABLANCA still doesn't have a Criterion edition? Probably because The Powers That Be know that 99% Tomatometer score is a hollow accolade. The Rick/Ilsa/Lazlo love triangle was captivating back when we were in the throes of WW2 but, watching it today, it's a silly distraction from serious international issues.

Sage and Sammy discuss the latest leaks, Warzone comparisons, whether it should reclaim the Firestorm name, and how destruction, map scale, and loot choices could set it apart. They also debate the big picture: can a BR boost Battlefield without cannibalizing the core game, and what happens if it's a smash hit? Highlights: • Leaks recap and first impressions • Warzone similarities vs Battlefield identity • Firestorm lessons: paid access, player base, longevity • Destruction, map size, and on-ground loot choices • Free-to-play funnel vs focus drift from All-Out Warfare • Monetization, live service support, and yearly release rumors • Studio capacity and why “Battlefield ≠ annual COD” Chapters: 00:00 Welcome & setup 00:16 Today's topic: Battlefield 6 Battle Royale 00:41 Naming debate: Firestorm again or something new? 01:05 Why Firestorm really failed (paid access, population) 01:34 First leak reactions; looks very Warzone at launch 02:00 Leak note: little/no ground loot and a large map 02:26 Hype vs worry: excited BR fans, cautious Battlefield vets 03:02 The risk: BR overshadowing the core Battlefield experience 03:39 Why a BR could help—player growth and funding 04:46 Must-have Battlefield flavor: destruction, traversal, identity 05:35 Does the footage feel “Battlefield” or just “COD in Frostbite”? 06:05 Confirmation status: heavily hinted, not formally named 06:23 Streamer incentives and the BR content economy 07:02 What would make this BR uniquely Battlefield (beyond destruction) 08:01 Lessons from Firestorm and Hazard Zone 08:14 Free-to-play strategy without starving All-Out Warfare 09:02 Success scenarios: good for money, bad for focus? 10:03 If it blows up: effects on BF6 vs the next Battlefield 11:03 The ideal: long-tail live service over annualized releases 12:02 Yearly release rumors—why that's a bad fit for Battlefield 13:01 Studio capacity and pipeline reality (DICE, Ripple, Criterion, Motive) 14:05 Live service realities: post-launch support vs annual churn 15:06 Don't out-COD COD—keep Battlefield's distinct scale and pacing 16:20 Portal/side modes that could've been the F2P funnel 17:07 Closing thoughts & what success should look like 17:52 Outro & call for feedback

THE SWIMMER (1968) We dive deep in to The Swimmer and discuss and analyze, maybe just a little bit the glorious film directed by Frank Perry, based on a screenplay by Eleanor Perry, from the 12 page short story by John Cheever. "Well-off ad man Ned Merrill (Burt Lancaster) is visiting a friend when he notices the abundance of backyard pools that populate their upscale suburb. Ned suddenly decides that he'd like to travel the eight miles back to his own home by simply swimming across every pool in town."If you're reading this I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support.

Articles & features from the Buffalo Criterion weekly newspaper

Claude Lanzmann was hired to make a 120 minute documentary about the Holocaust and turn it in within about 18 months. He did not do this. Instead, acknowledging the truth of the matter, that one could not begin to grasp the inhuman enormity of the Nazi's decimation of the Jewish people of Europe, Lanzmann spent the next decade interviewing survivors of the camps, non-Jewish Poles who lived and worked around the camps, Nazis who ran things, and other witnesses - over 350 hours of footage - and editing it down to the nine and a half hour documentary Shoah (1985) and a number of other shorter documentaries in the decades since.  Because of the emotional (and temporal) magnitude of the film we'll be spending the next three weeks covering this to better give it the time it deserves. Week one is on Shoah Era 1, the first four and a half hours of Shoah, week two will cover the rest of Shoah, and week three will cover the additional materials on the Criterion release including three additional shorter documentaries made by Lanzmann from his original footage.

This week news editor Amy Austin speaks to Justine Pattullo, chair of Flag and representative of Pension Lab and Nick Green, strategy and proposition director at Criterion, about Letters of Authorities and what can be done to improve this process.They looked at why the process is fraught with problems and why everyone will need to work together to see any real change.

Hang onto your slipcases, because Blake Howard and author William "Bill" Boyle discuss the impact of the neorealist melodrama fusion of CAIRO STATION on us watching and on Bill's latest novel, SAINT OF THE NARROWS STREET. Cairo StationYoussef Chahine established his international reputation with this masterpiece, which, though initially a commercial failure in Egypt, would become one of the most influential and celebrated works in all of Arab cinema. The director himself stars as Kenawi, a disabled newspaper hawker whose obsession with a sultry drink seller (Hind Rostom, known as the “Marilyn Monroe of Arabia”) leads to tragedy of operatic proportions on the streets of Cairo. Blending elements of neorealism with provocative noir-melodrama, Cairo Station is a work of raw populist poetry that explores the individual's search for a place in Egypt's new postrevolutionary political order.BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURESNew 4K digital restoration, with uncompressed monaural soundtrackNew 2K digital restoration of Cairo as Seen by Chahine (1991), a short documentary by Youssef Chahine, with an introduction by film scholar Joseph FahimNew interview with FahimChahine . . .

Welcome to the end of summer folks.  Booo that...but to help ring in your Labor Day weekend, the boys are back with the fourth episode of the new season.  It was Justin's pick this time and he went with the original Japanese gore film: Jigoku (aka The Sinners of Hell).  This film is arthouse to the max and may not be for everyone.  Justin wasn't shy to note that he was NOT in the mood for it when they watched it on the very pretty Criterion disc, but it carries a gravitas of beautiful imagery and powerful messaging that shouldn't be missed.  It's also quite gory for the time.  Now is a good time to grab that Asahi Extra Dry and dive in to Jigoku!  Happy Labor Day to all and enjoy!

With Safety Last! (1923, dir. by Fred Newmeyer and Sam Taylor) the Criterion Collection brings us a fantastic introduction to Harold Lloyd only a few years after we introduced him to ourselves watching Grandma's Boy (1922) for a Patreon bonus episode. Safety Last! is a more fun movie than Grandma's Boy, not least of all because there's no Confederate apologia, and Criterion helps us contextualize Lloyd's career with a plethora of additional features including three shorts and the two episodes of The Third Genius, a 1989 career retrospective.

[REBROADCAST FROM April 16, 2025] Writer and director David Cronenberg's new film "The Shrouds" is partly inspired from the grief of losing his wife in recent years. The film follows a grieving businessman named Karsh who invents a way to connect with the dead. Cronenberg discusses, alongside actor Diane Kruger, who stars in the film. "The Shrouds" is now streaming on the Criterion Channel.

Hang onto your slipcases, because Blake Howard and the prolific and wise critic Nadine Whitney discuss the timeless quality of Terry Gilliam's BRAZIL, now in 4k.BrazilIn the dystopian masterpiece Brazil, Jonathan Pryce plays a daydreaming everyman who finds himself caught in the soul-crushing gears of a nightmarish bureaucracy. This cautionary tale by Terry Gilliam, one of the great films of the 1980s, has come to be esteemed alongside antitotalitarian works by the likes of George Orwell, Aldous Huxley, and Kurt Vonnegut. And in terms of set design, cinematography, music, and effects, Brazil is a nonstop dazzler.DIRECTOR-APPROVED 4K UHD + BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURESNew 4K digital restoration of Terry Gilliam's director's cut, supervised and approved by Gilliam, with 2.0 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrackOne 4K UHD disc of the film presented in Dolby Vision HDR and two Blu-rays with the film and special featuresAudio commentary by GilliamWhat Is “Brazil”?, Rob Hedden's on-set documentaryThe Production Notebook, a collection of interviews and video essays, featuring a trove of Brazil-iana from Gilliam's personal collectionThe Battle of “Brazil,” a documentary about the film's contentious release, hosted by Jack Mathews and based on his book of the same name“Love Conquers All” version, the studio's ninety-four-minute, happy-ending cut of Brazil, with commentary by Brazil expert David MorganTrailerEnglish subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearingPLUS: An essay by film critic David SterrittCover based on a theatrical posterNadine WhitneyNadine Whitney is a freelance critic writing from Melbourne, Australia.

Movies are back!

A few months ago we had Marta on to discuss Abbas Kiarostami's Taste of Cherry and it was a wonderful conversation! Towards the end we talked about how it's a shame that his film The Wind Will Carry Us is hard to find and that Criterion should put it out on Blu-ray and behold, on one of the next slate of announcements there it was! When we saw that, we knew we were going to have her back to cover it and here we are. Like many of Kiarostami's pictures, this deals with matters of life and death, the perspective of children, the beauty in the monotony of daily life, and the creative/artistic process. It's wonderful to have back in circulation and we hope you enjoy the movie (watch free in the link below) and our discussion!Watch The Wind Will Carry Us on Google Drive link⁠Substantive Cinema Episode ListShoutouts:On the Silver GlobeFollow Marta:SubstackInstagramLetterboxdFollow Us:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Threads⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Philip's Letterboxd⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠BlueSky⁠Share Your Questions/Suggestions/Feedback With Us:Email: thesubstancepod@gmail.comDM on InstagramSupport Us: Support the show with an individual donation on CashApp to $TheSubstancePod or become a monthly Patreon supporter at patreon.com/TheSubstancePod
