Summary
Finding the joy in unfettered creativity. A podcast dedicated to bringing awareness and context to movies of any budget, from anywhere, and during any time. Episode 41 is Eli and I covering March titles in depth but most importantly it is sitting down with one of our heroes. Moviemaker, raconteur, philosopher, and now available on Shudder, Scooter McCrae joined Punk Vacation. Scooter is the actual best. Get this man into any discussion of the Mount Rushmore of moviemakers from history. He is takes the craft so seriously, and spends a lot of time in this conversation breaking down the small details he considers in order to out Dreyer Carl Theodor himself. He also speaks openly about his time as a behind camera creative in the NY porn scene, and shares some stories with us I had not heard before. But what jumps in every Scooter interview is how humble and kind the man is. He'll roll with any topic, is self-depricating if he has a chance to make a joke, clearly loves classic cinema. He speaks about cinematographers the way that the best drummers speak about their heroes from the past. After Scooter dips out, Eli and Chris walk through the mountain of March titles and portend the impossible task of covering everything from April. Overall, this is an episode I'm very happy with and I hope you enjoy! We will be back in early May to discuss the months announcements as the month of reveals opens up with a few early sneak peeks and another cornucopia of partner releases.
