Since the kind souls at The Criterion Collection generously sent both myself & my dear friend (& kid brother from an Oz mother) Blake Howard the same brand new pristine 4K edition of director Norman Jewison's Academy Award winning 1967 masterpiece IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT, we decided to team up to cover it together. Although you'll still hear several traditional Watch With Jen: Physical Media episodes in the future as Season 6 of my podcast continues, this time, we felt like kicking off the summer with a little HEAT c/o an episode of Blake's One Heat Minute Productions' Criterion Sessions pod. A fast-paced yet comprehensive, well-researched roughly twenty-minute episode on this landmark film starring Sidney Poitier & Rod Steiger, please stay cool for this fun chat between two friends, & then get ready for more Criterion coverage soon (including more Blake) on Watch With Jen as the summer continues.
