Criterion Close-Up 
Finished listening to the podcast this morning. Very well done! I was hesitant because I started, but did not finish Broadcast News and I was hoping for no major spoilers. I’ll definitely finish the film this weekend. You especially have me ready to pull the trigger on purchasing Nightcrawler and to watch my copy of Network.
Thank you! Yes, we are careful with spoilers. We are both sensitive to them. We will try to not spoil films. There will be some films that we cannot help but spoil, but we’ll give fair warning. Highly recommend Nightcrawler and Network. Those are my two favorite films of all that we talked about on the cast.
