The Balcony is now open!
The hosts who brought you The Criterion Break are bringing you a NEW podcast. The Balcony focuses on the random conversations of three friends who just want to talk about movies. The Balcony covers the arthouse, the multiplex, and all stops in between, covering whatever movie topic comes to mind each week. On the premiere episode, the three talk Oscar nominations, what they’ve been watching, and the featured topic: what three movies are their Rosetta Stones? What movies define their taste in movies or have set them on their course of loving movies the way they do?
Blake can be found on Letterboxd @therealjohng and on Instagram @blakeg_5150.
Derrick can be found on Instagram AND Letterboxd @dervdude.
Andy can be found on Letterboxd and Twitter @fatdudeflicks and Instagram @fatdudedigsflicks.

The Criterion Break - Episode 44 - The State Theatre: Year Three
The Break is back this week, as the arthouse trio looks back at year three in the reopening of the Sioux Falls State Theatre. We run down a timeline of the events, and discuss some of our most memorable moments including a month of Fat Dude approved flicks, some great audience participation experiences, mystery movies, a horror movie featuring a killer sloth, and a chance to say farewell to a dear friend. We also discuss our excitement over the theater’s growth and our hopes for that to continue into the next year.
