Criterion Reflections – Episode 117 – Michael Campus’s Z.P.G. and George A. Romero’s Hungry Wives a.k.a. Season of the Witch

Criterion Reflections

Criterion Reflections is David Blakeslee’s ongoing project to watch all of the films included in The Criterion Collection in chronological order of their original release. This fourth season of the podcast features conversations about movies that originally premiered in 1972 and were destined to eventually receive the Criterion imprimatur. In this episode, David is joined by Richard Doyle to discuss Z.P.G., directed by Michael Campus, and Hungry Wives (also released as Season of the Witch), directed by George Romero. At the time this episode was recorded, neither of the films were featured on the Criterion Channel, but they were available on the streaming service in years past.
