Do you remember going to your local Blockbuster (RIP) or library and picking out a movie to watch for the weekend? From VHS to DVDs to Blu-Rays...how amazing it was to pop in the DVD Menu to see a chapter select, special features and even commentary. Long gone are the days of the base movie sets; just to rewatch and own. Today...we have Criterion. The cinephile's (or film bro, don't @ us) haven for film school in a package. In this week's episode, Rod and Raf are joined by our very own Layered Butter Criterion expert, Alex Orr, as we venture deep into the world of physical media and the prestigious Criterion collection. What makes the criterion collection, the pinnacle of cinematic physical media? Is it just an extra price tag for a collector's item or is there more to the name and the brand? In addition, we "celebrate" the return of a beloved actress back on our screens and is more Robert Pattison a good thing? Listen up and tune in!
