Audio commentaries are the embryonic form of podcasting, and this show looks at the art of filmmaking through the greatest of these tracks. From comedy to drama, live-action to animation, good and bad, we run the gamut of cinema in a lighthearted, hopefully enlightening fashion. It’s the only commentary-centric show that matters because it’s the only one that exists. (As far as we know.)

#076: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly with Tom Lorenzo
For our seventy-sixth episode, it’s our biggest episode ever when Tom Lorenzo (“You’re Missing Out” podcast) finally returns to discuss the academic audio commentary for his favorite film: Sergio Leone’s 1966 spaghetti western opera “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly”. Amongst the things discussed? The magic of having Ennio Morricone’s score on set, childhood awareness of the lack of lip-sync, the connections between Tuco and Paulie from “Rocky”, Clint Eastwood taking home a salary that exceeded the amount of gold he steals in the film, casting Eli Wallach as a Mexican, flies on set made more vibrant in 4K, learning when every actor and/or crew member died, the question of whether or not The Man with No Name Trilogy is actually a trilogy, and so much more.
Ryan’s Recommendations: “Room to Dream” by David Lynch and Kristine McKenna (2018), “Hollywood Pride” by Alonso Duralde (2024), and “But Have You Read the Book?” by Kristen Lopez (2023)
