The Cut That Killed It: When the Wrong Editor Destroyed a Great Film

Last episode we talked about the actors who almost broke cinema before the cameras rolled — this week, we go into the edit suite, where perfectly good films went to die. We're examining the documented cases where studio-mandated editors, last-minute re-cuts, and battles over final assembly fundamentally destroyed movies that should have worked: the footage existed, the performances were there, and someone still managed to ruin it anyway. This is the story of the most invisible and most catastrophic job in Hollywood. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
