#149: The Wages of Fear (1953) - The Film Dispenser Podcast

August 07, 2015

Welcome back to the FILM DISPENSER PODCAST, FilmDispenser.com‘s flagship movie podcast.
Today, on our Friday episode, we welcome back our segment Home School Film School. Every Friday, Spencer will have a guest for a lesson in film based on a recurring theme. Scott from West of Galveston and Beyond the North joins the 5 week series on our Criterion Collection Blind Buys. The Criterion Collection sets a home video standard of quality and art. Every year, Scott and Spencer pick up disk after disk based on nothing more than the Criterion Recommendation. They’re cracking open the cellophane and diving in the films that have rested on their shelves for far too long. The next film up is  The Wages of Fear (1953).
