Your interview with the sound editor from the movie Ford versus Ferrari was great. I also think Don Sylvester should have won the Oscar for A Complete Unknown instead of Dune. In 20 years which one will hold up?
I enjoy Damien’s show so much because he’s always prepared, and equally a good listener. He has the ability to guide the questions to paint an emotionally accurate portrait of the guest, and also follow up when he can see it will shed more edifying light. I highly recommend.
Fantastic show with wonderful, in-depth discussions. Such a valuable resource for anyone in the industry!
