Welcome to America's least necessary film criticism podcast. Each week, a guest will join hosts Noah Frank and Will Vitka to discuss a film that is at least 10 years old, that at least one of us hasn't seen in that period of time, and that, hopefully, at least one of us hasn't seen at all. No classics, no bombs. This is about revisiting regular movies that we think we liked when we first saw them, to see how both we and the culture around the film have changed in the intervening years. In contrast to the constant, life-or-death anxiety of the last few years, to the unyielding firehose of news, this podcast aims only to answer a single question with the lowest stakes imaginable: Do you still like this movie?

Our guest Dan Weber brings us to hell and halfway back with Roman Polanski’s “The Ninth Gate,” featuring a prime Johnny Depp, Frank Langella and Lena Olin.
We unintentionally landed on the same general takeaway as Roger Ebert did in his original review of the film, which we reference, and which you can read here.
We do our best to try to explain just what the hell happened in this thing without, as Dan did to us, forcing you to actually have to watch it. If you did see it, let us know what you thought on social using the hashtag #ITILTM.
