Episode 38 - March Releases with Brian Saur of Pure Cinema Podcast & Just the Discs + Reviver w/Oscar Becher

About this episode

The episode features discussions on March releases and includes a lost archival conversation with Oscar Becher about the Reviver sublabel.

Finding the joy in unfettered creativity. A podcast dedicated to bringing awareness and context to movies of any budget, from anywhere, and during any time. Before kicking off episode 38, we've unearthed a lost discussion from the Punk Vacation archives, restored for your listening pleasure: Chris and Eli are joined by the lead archivist from Vinegar Syndrome, Oscar Becher, to talk about the second release from his new sublabel, Reviver! Like the releases themselves, we won't spoil anything here, you'll have to listen to find out what we talk about! Then, we return to our regularly schedule programming and we're delighted to be joined by friend and supporter of the show, Brian Saur, co-host of the Pure Cinema Podcast and Just the Discs! Brian has been covering VS and partner releases since the label first hit the scene, so it was a lot of fun to talk about early titles that caught his attention and he helps us go through all the March announcements on the mainline, sublabels, and some OCN partner releases. If you aren't already listening to the Pure Cinema Podcast and Just the Discs, we highly recommend both for some great discussions on film with a real emphasis on discovery…
