EP575: Meet THE PRESS GANG
Today, the Kicking the Seat Podcast celebrates 575 episodes with its most critical round table yet! This week, Seven Stories Press released The Press Gang, a massive collection of film criticism, essays, and interviews from the pages of The New York Press. Between 1991 and 2011, critics Godfrey Cheshire, Matt Zoller Seitz, and Armond White provided bold, thought-provoking, and often irreverent commentary on blockbusters, indies, and the current state of cinema itself.
In this no holds barred discussion, Ian and “the gang” look back on two magical decades of fearless film journalism and tackle controversies within the profession, such as the existence of “troll” critics; the struggles of making a living as a critic in the Internet age; the future of movies, and much, much more.
Episode 575 has some definite opinions!
