b"The first time I tried to interview New York-based film critic Vadim Rizov for the Crizzlecast, it was the night before Hurricane Sandy hit. Like a dumbass, I thought it wouldn't be a big deal and I could talk to him amidst all the madness that was going on. Ten minutes into the interview, his phone crapped out. So much for that.\\nHowever, I got him on the line a few weeks later, and we managed to pick up right where we left off. I talked to him about what was it like being in the middle of that mess, along with how he got to be a film critic and his rather peculiar family history. We also spend way too much time discussing Lena Dunham and we SO spoil the ending of Leos Carax's Holy Motors. So, remember, you were warned."
