b"We\\u2019ve been compiling this episode for about 6 months now and we\\u2019ve conducted interviews in New York, Bristol, The Shetland Islands and via Skype. We hope our delve into film criticism is worth the wait. Thank you firstly to our participants, so generous with their time and thoughts. A huge thank you also to our roving reporter Charlotte Crofts for the amazing interview with Tara Judah featured in the episode, and others we couldn\\u2019t manage to get in. Thank you finally to our listeners who suggested this episode.The wealth of material we got was overwhelming so look out for all the interviews being uploaded in January while we are on our winter break. That should keep you going in the cold winter months.ParticipantsTara Judah https://tarajudah.com/ @midnightmoviesSam Fragoso http://talkeasypod.com/ @SamFragosoSimran Hans https://www.theguardian.com/profile/simran-hans @heavier_thingsAshley Clark http://www.bfi.org.uk/people/ashley-clark \\xa0@_Ash_ClarkViolet Lucca https://www.filmcomment.com/author/vlucca/ @unbuttonmyeyesMark Kermode https://www.theguardian.com/profile/markkermode @KermodeMovieProf. Linda Ruth Williams https://humanities.exeter.ac.uk/film/staff/lwilliams/ @lindaruth1Tom Shone http://tomshone.blogspot.co.uk/ @Tom_ShoneRoll of HonourAll the critics given shout outs across our interviews...Sophie Mayer, Alexandra Heller-Nicholas, Cerise Howard, Emma Westwood, Thomas Caldwell, Josh Nelson, Jack Sargeant, Dana Linssen, Kees Driessen, R\\xfcdiger Suchsland, Adrian Martin, Catherine Grant, Cristina Alvarez Lopez, Kevin B.
