Back in 2019, Ben already graced our podcast. Last month, I caught up with him in Chengdu for another episode, talking about the new flicks he's been cooking up over the past five years. I already knew last summer his Aranya project had snagged another Vimeo Staff Pick, but due to scheduling, the platform hadn’t dropped it yet, so I had to keep it hush-hush on the pod. But the full film is finally live this week, so we can finally drop the episode! Tune in to hear what Ben’s been up to and his current favorite skate flicks.

2019年笨笨就做客过我们的播客，上个月在成都我又找他录了一期，聊这五年他拍的新的片子，那时就知道他去年夏天在阿那亚拍的片子又拿到 Vimeo 的 StaffPick ，但是因为平台排期还没有发布，所以我的播客也不能提前泄露这个消息。本周正片终于上线了，播客也可以发了，来听听刀老三这几年都在忙什么和他这几年喜欢的滑板电影。
