Discovering and dissecting the art of officially-branded film discussion. Every episode, hosts Oliver Scott and Chris McCaleb comment on the finest and most remarkable commentary cases in a semi-structured discussion (with frequent sidebars). We're exploring films and film-making through the overlooked or forgotten lens of audio commentary tracks. We break down what each commentary reveals - intentionally or not - about the creative process, and often about the guests themselves.
