The first 37 minutes are nearly unwatchable and that's the point. We break down One Cut of the Dead with guest actor Matt Baughman, who brings a performer's perspective to the film's real challenge: actors playing bad actors, then toggling between their real character and their terrible on-screen character in real time. We cover the six-take one-shot filming process, why the structure works as a three-act play, the Ghost in the Box rights controversy, the Zoom-era spinoff that's free on YouTube, and what an American remake would need to pull off without spoiling the twist in the marketing. If you haven't seen it, stop listening and go watch it. We spoil everything."}
