It&#8217;s been a quiet week here as far as posting is concerned (though the comment thread\u00a0under Chinelo Okparanta&#8217;s story has been anything but quiet).

Each Eclipse Series box set contains a set of films tied together by director or theme, and each episode of the podcast is focused on one set.<\/p>\n<p>Up to this point, David and Robert have covered the following sets:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Eclipse Series 10: Silent Ozu &#8212;\u00a0Three Family Comedies<\/li>\n<li>Eclipse Series 26: Silent Naruse<\/li>\n<li>Eclipse Series 11: Larisa Shepitko<\/li>\n<li>Eclipse Series 5: The First Films of Samuel Fuller<\/li>\n<li>Eclipse Series 35: <em>Maidstone<\/em> and Other Films by Norman Mailer<\/li>\n<li>Eclipse Series 24: The Actuality Dramas of Allan King<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>At the end of 2012, after eight episodes, production on the podcast halted due to time, life, etc. I missed it. I love The Criterion Collection, and I love the Eclipse Series. And since the Eclipse Series is filled with obscure films, and since other than a few liner notes there are no supplements to give context, The Eclipse Viewer podcast was invaluable and always enjoyable.<\/p>\n<p>In October, I reached out to David and offered my services. After a pleasant exchange of emails, David and I recorded Episode 8 1\/2: Intermission, in which David explains what has been going on with the show and in which I introduce myself.
