He has a soft spot for comedies, an unhealthy (and expensive) obsession with the Criterion Collection and fervently believes that in the long run, every Coen Brothers movie is a documentary.
Brandon Thomas
Brandon works in Central Ohio’s prolific library industry.
When not worrying about circulation-related matters, Brandon is usually re-watching John Carpenter’s filmography for the 100th time or musing about Star Wars. He once tried to care about French new wave, but it didn’t stick. Brandon is also a Central Ohio Film Critics Association member.

Thank you so much! Really appreciate that you took the time to let us know!
This is a question for George Wolf. What is your favorite musical?
I love your show and I also like musicals the best!
Have you done a review on Bonhoeffer? I can’t find it on your site and I didn’t hear you talk about it on Good Day Columbus when you were also reviewing Wicked and Gladiator II. It was set for release at this same time.
Greg – apologies on the tardy reply! Didn’t get the regular notification that there was a comment. We did not get a critic screener for Bonhoeffer, unfortunately, and missed it. Sorry about that! But thanks for watching GDC!
