Pardon the Interruption!!! It’s time for a Criterion Break!!!
This week, due to GREAT circumstances beyond our control, Derrick Veurink is filling in for co-host Blake Ginithan, and thanks to the programming at The Sioux Falls State Theatre, we’re celebrating PRIDE MONTH!!! Andy and Derrick take a look at one of the greatest American documentaries of the 20th century, Paris Is Burning. The two discuss the film’s enduring legacy and its continual impact on the LGBTQ+ community, acknowledging both the sense of celebration in the film and the heartbreaking tragedy of lives lost during that era.
