It's so weird hearing her talk as a person and not reading stories about Hollywood scandals like a sexy ghost

[pixarfan]

I love how she talks casually about her husband who just so happens to be Rian Johnson

[conradpoos]

A journey into the Criterion closet....Join me, won't you?

[filmfury]

I have listened to her Charles Manson's Hollywood series on her podcast at least 10 times...She is incredible and full of knowledge

[ashes]

I love how some people will be so careful and gentle when picking things out but Karina just knows what she wants and is hyped.

[andrewwilson]

maaan criterion films so expensive thats probably like a grands worth she took

[jonathanwiggins]

I have no idea who she is, but I like that she's not afraid to be silly-- that and she had no shame in filling up that bag!

[ColleyatFlak]

I love her podcast. Love her voice. I read her excellent book on Howard Hughes before I knew who she was. Came across her podcast when I'd be searching for specific actresses.

[Buffaloc]

Her podcast is great. I have listened to everyone and look forward to future podcasts.

You never know where Karina will pop up. I’m loving the current series on Polly Platt.

[erinrising]

it is my ambition to become just famous enough to be invited to this closet

[brunopackardhill]

Omg! so weird to see her! I love You Must Remember This! Amazing podcast

[jackpotsb]

Karina Longworth and Rian Johnson together is the ultimate relationship goal

You just write 10 movie on description but she pick like 978 more or less

As a die-hard Hollywood Classical Film Era fan ("LIFE Goes To The Movies" has been my all-time favorite book since discovering it during an internship at a bookstore in Switzerland 45 years ago), I truly love the fascinating YMRT podcast and the EXCELLENT research.
While I cringe at the awful pronounciation of T as D in the podcast, which sounds like she is either too tired or too lazy to differentiate between the two letters, I'm now glad to hear her natural voice, which is far more appealing than the one used in the podcast.

Love your podcast. I listen to it every night. Went through it at least twice .just finished polly plat the invisible woman and came on youtube to see if i could find any interviews of her. I cant find any but found this. Thanks for your hard work..

[maxwright]

Most of the reason I want to be a successful director is because I want Criterion to invite me to come do this. That's all I want.

[stagesteele]

Only after awhile, did we come to realize that Karina was making us unwitting accomplices to her Criterion collection shop lifting spree.

Karina, I am a massive fan of your Podcast. You pack in a ton of information, but most importantly you tell a cracking story! The best thing though is that you have a catchphrase!! I love a good Catchphrase.. Join us won't you.. yes I will!!
