Criterion Creeps Ep. 226: Fanny & Alexander

[@jayjohnson5868]

Yes!!! You guys finally made it to my all-time favorite movie! My first time watching was a two-tape VHS rental, and I was about 30 minutes in and very confused before I realized I’d started with the second tape (I’m an idiot!). So then I started from the actual beginning, saw that statue move, and was just blown away. Anyway, I went into this episode saying to myself, I will be very happy with the Creeps if: 1) you both talk about magic realism and give your interpretations; and 2) RJ does a good Bjergen Kjergen type Swedish impersonation. Got both. Very happy! Now I will wait patiently until you reach my second all-time favorite movie: The Double Life of Veronique (spine 359). Good luck along the way!

I just realized a couple weeks ago that they're going in spine order. Talk about being an idiot! 😆
