This special episode includes interviews with two renowned film editors: first up, Letterboxd’s own video editor AJ tells us what makes good editing and lists his favorite examples of movie cutting from 2023. And then, one of AJ’s 2023 picks, Jennifer Lame, joins Mia Lee Vicino and Brian Formo for a chat about working with Christopher Nolan, Greta Gerwig, Noah Baumbach and Ari Aster. Lame breaks down why she loves editing talking scenes and why she really wants to work on a comedy. And finally, because Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget has finally been released, Gemma Gracewood brings her thoughts on the overdue sequel home to roost.
