3. True Stories (1986)

In this, our third episode, we discuss the feature film directorial debut of Talking Heads frontman, David Byrne, True Stories. Featuring key performances from John Goodman, Spalding Gray, Anne McEnroe, and David Byrne himself. Do we agree it should be on the list? Why was it added so late? We get into it!   Notes: Criterion Collection page Music: “The Endless Scroll” by Absolutely Free courtesy of Idée Fixe Records and Arts & Crafts Music Inc.

Surprisingly Criterion - the podcast where we select and talk about the films that we’re surprised are a part of the Criterion Collection, and the films we can’t believe are not! The Criterion Collection brands itself as a depository of important classic and contemporary films for film aficionados. Their collection features over a 1000 movies and counting! Surely all of these can’t be important, can they? What does 'important' even mean!
