Summary

Adam and Josh revisit BEFORE SUNSET for its 20th-ish anniversary and share their conversation about BEFORE SUNRISE, which followed a 30th-anniversary screening earlier this year to close Filmspotting Fest. Scott Tobias (The Next Picture Show, The Reveal) and Producer Sam Van Hallgren joined them for that. Plus, the final film in the Andrei Tarkovsky Marathon, 1983’s NOSTALGHIA.
