I love these conversations, and I think Steve is one of the best interviewers out there. But man, can we please get some more documentaries and less half-baked movies? Disclosure Day is not it.

I love this podcast because I’m learning from the talented experts so much and have breakthroughs every time.
I discovered Art of the Cut a couple of days ago and I have quickly become obsessed. The Mission Impossible, Asteroid City, Yellowstone, and Tar episodes blew my mind with how much insightful information they packed. I’m a film student and I have learned as much if not more from one episode of this pod than I have from entire semesters of some of my classes. The podcast isn’t just educational either, it’s a real pleasure listening to Steve and his guests talk editing and film.
