Criterion Close-Up 
Hitchcock/Truffaut is a must-read, one of the most essential books about film. Grab it for your recovery and good luck!
Funny that you mention that. I had the same thought after we finished recording and tried to find a copy. People are selling it for insane amounts of money and my library doesn’t have it. I’ll have to keep looking.
I had no idea… I actually own a copy from years ago, you can prob bootleg a scan off the internets, which I don’t usually advocate but fully support for out of print books.
I may try to do that one day. Right now I have a couple books from potential guests in the future, so that’ll hold me over. But this is high on my list.
Can’t wait to hear the interview with Cox. I just watched “Repo Man” after listening to Mark on the Talk Film Society podcast last week. I started “Sid and Nancy” last night until I realized that the Criterion DVD does not have subtitles. If I would have turned up the volume enough to hear the dialogue, then I would have made the kids sleep in earmuffs.
Good luck with the surgery. You have a vote from me to do a PUI (Podcast Under the Influence).
