Recent episodes of The\xa0Film Comment\xa0Podcast have contemplated formative filmmaker obsessions, but what about the movies that struck us much earlier in life? Maybe your parents took you to see it, maybe you flipped by it on cable and couldn\u2019t change the channel, or maybe you had a traumatic brush with the body horror of\xa0The Blob\xa0too early in life\u2026whatever it is, we revisit our childhood fascinations on this week\u2019s episode, giving us an occasion to reflect on how our tastes and critical faculties might begin to form at a young age, as well as what happens when beloved films may not withstand the test of time.\xa0FC\xa0Digital Producer Violet Lucca is joined by K. Austin Collins, staff writer for The Ringer; Nicholas Elliott, U.S. correspondent for\xa0Cahiers du Cin\xe9ma; and Mark Harris, regular contributor to Vulture and the author of\xa0FC\u2019s 2017 column \u201cCinema \u201867 Revisited.\u201d
