SMC Bitesize Pod 3: The ”Perfect Movie”
Secret Movie Club Bitesize Pod #3 (final bitesize pod #4 next week then the gang returns 6/23/23) finds programmer.founder Craig Hammill looking under the hood of the concept of the "perfect" movie. What elevates movies like The Gold Rush, The Godfathers I & 2, Jaws, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Goodfellas, The Big Lebowski, In the Mood For Love, Mulholland Drive, Mad Max Fury Road, even 2017's Into The Spiderverse to the rarefied air of the "perfect" movie. And what actually happens behind the scenes in the sausage making to get there. Craig discovers a lot of the pictures are unified by the suffering, constant revision, and problem solving of its stressed out makers. A strange distinction between the "perfect" movie and a "great" movie also gets noted. Plus Craig manages to keep this pod more bitesize through some ruthless editing of his preambles and caveats.
