About this episode
One of the first film critics that Jen remembers reading religiously as a girl growing up in Minnesota in the 1990s, Chris Hewitt has the unique distinction of having been hired to review movies for both of the primary newspapers in her home state.
Originally working at "The St. Paul Pioneer Press," thirty years later, Chris is now covering film for "The Minneapolis Star Tribune." Friendly, engaging, and articulate, in addition to movies, Chris is a noted lover of Agatha Christie and fun novelty floaty pens, and in this fast-paced chat, he discusses not only those hobbies and what it's been like reviewing film professionally over the last three decades but he also dabbles in gourmet popsicle making and serves up some great South Korean film recommendations as well.
(Note: the conversation was recorded using Google Voice so while it isn't perhaps as crystal clear as some of the others, it's so entertaining, we know you'll easily forgive any technical issues.)
