Today on Art of the Cut we speak with Oscar-winning editor, Stephen Mirrione, ACE about editing the summer blockbuster, F1.Stephen's been on Art of the Cut before when he edited The Revenant, for which he was nominated for an Oscar, a BAFTA and an ACE Eddie. He was nominated for a BAFTA and an ACE Eddie for Birdman. He was nominated for an Oscar and a BAFTA and won an ACE Eddie for Babel. In 2006 he won the Cannes Film Festival technical Grand Prize for editing. And he won the Oscar and was nominated for a BAFTA and an ACE Eddie for editing Traffic. Not to mention - though I guess I AM mentioning - editing The Monuments Men, August: Osage County, Hunger Games, and Oceans 11, 12 AND 13.This episode includes discussions of how editing pace is contextual, the value of editors speaking into the script, and how in the HELL do you cope with a 2000:1 shooting ratio!? Director Joseph Kosinski's previous blockbuster, “Top Gun Maverick” was 800 hours of film for about a 200:1 ratio. And Apocalypse Now was notably insane at just 95:1.And if you want to read along with this podcast and also see exclusive images, timeline screenshots - with explanations of each track, and trailers and clips, please check out the BorisFX blog:borisfx.com/blog/aotc

"Don't forget. I'm also just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her." And, boy, were we suckers for this girl. In 1999's Notting Hill, the powerhouse coupling of Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant had audiences lining up on both sides of the pond. The rom com would go on to make over $360 million. Now, decades later, does this London-set love story have us scratching our heads as much as it once tugged our hearts? Why is Emma so drawn to Will? Why is Emma so mean to Will? And, why oh why, do we care? The Old Roommates throw on some totally inappropriate t-shirts - it's laundry day - and give this crowd pleaser a revisit through their middle-aged lens.

Making a Difference Through Media Synopsis: On this compelling episode of Conversations that Make a Difference, host Teresa Velardi welcomes three dynamic women who are harnessing the power of media to inspire social change: Andi Buerger, Cassandra Tindal, and Danielle Bisutti. Andi Buerger unveils the moving stories and powerful advocacy within her forthcoming book, "Voices Against Trafficking," highlighting the urgent fight against human trafficking and how storytelling can drive awareness and action. Cassandra Tindal, founder and editor of Womenz Straight Talk Magazine, discusses her mission to uplift women's voices, address real-world issues, and foster meaningful dialogue through her influential publication. Actress and singer Danielle Bisutti shares her passion for using the arts to make an impact—donating a heartfelt song to the Voices Against Trafficking album and using her creative platforms to amplify important causes. Together, these changemakers explore how diverse media—books, magazines, and music—serve as transformative tools for advocacy, education, and hope. Their candid conversation, guided by Teresa Velardi, inspires viewers to use their own unique voices and creative outlets to make a difference in their communities and beyond. Guests: Andi Buerger, Cassandra Tindal and Danielle Bisutti Bio: Andi Buerger, JD is an international speaker, author, and advocate for victims of human trafficking & exploitation. Andi herself was a victim of child sex trafficking and unspeakable abuses by family members for 17 years. She founded Beulah's Place, which provided temporary shelter services to at-risk, unsheltered teens for 14 years. 300+ youth were successfully rescued and assisted, earning national recognition. Andi later founded Voices Against Trafficking(VAT) to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves — the voiceless victims of human trafficking and exploitation. VAT advocates for the protection of every human's rights regardless of race, gender, culture, or socio-economic status. Voices Against Trafficking-The Strength of Many Voices Speaking As One, gives a portion of proceeds from each sale to survivors of child abuse and trafficking, as does Andi's first book, A Fragile Thread of Hope - One Survivor's Quest to Rescue. Andi launched Voices Of Courage magazine in 2023. It is distributed internationally and accepted into the U.S. Library of Congress. It honors everyday heroes who selflessly fight to protect human rights. These champions come from all walks of life to change communities and the world for the better. A television series by the same title debuts in 2025. Website: www.voicesagainsttrafficking.com Bio: Cassandra Tindal is the Founder, Visionary, and CEO of IMAG Media Inc., and the creator of Womenz Straight Talk®. Driven by an unshakable belief in the power of women's voices and the need for meaningful discourse, Cassandra Tindal didn't just build a media company—she ignited a movement. As the founder of IMAG Media Inc. and the force behind Womenz Straight Talk, Cassandra's vision was clear: to create a multimedia platform where women and marginalized communities could speak boldly, be heard globally, and drive real-world impact on the issues that matter most. Cassandra's passion for storytelling isn't about headlines—it's about humanity. She built Womenz Straight Talk as a hybrid of award-winning journalism, documentary filmmaking, and advocacy. Her mission? To challenge narratives, elevate underrepresented perspectives, and spark conversations that lead to action—whether in business, politics, culture, or social justice. At the heart of every culture, in every corner of the world, lies a shared human truth: we are wired for stories. From ancient oral traditions to today's digital narratives, storytelling is the bridge that connects us—transcending language, politics, and geography. Cassandra Tindal and Womenz Straight Talk harness this power, using media and entertainment not just to inform, but to unite, provoke, and inspire action on the issues that define our time. Website: https://womenzstraighttalk.net Bio: Danielle Bisutti is an Emmy Award-winning and BAFTA-nominated actress, writer, producer, director, and singer-songwriter with an illustrious 25-year career in the Entertainment Industry.

Danielle's diverse portfolio also features guest spots and recurring roles in Matador (Robert Rodriguez's El Rey Network), Last Man Standing, CSI: Miami, Without a Trace, Raising the Bar, and The O.C. Danielle graduated Magna Cum Laude from California State University, Fullerton, earning her Bachelor of Arts with a double emphasis in Acting and Musical Theatre.

Editor - Eddie Hamilton ACE MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - THE FINAL RECKONING editor Eddie Hamilton ACE has edited the last four of the franchise's eight films. While there are a combined five other editors responsible for the first four movies, the challenge of tying up any loose ends and bringing the franchise to a close (seemingly) fell solely to Eddie. In addition to his work on the Mission Impossible films, Eddie has also taken part in two other action franchises. Eddie cut TOP GUN: MAVERICK as well as two of director Matthew Vaughn's "Kingsman" films. Both within, and beyond, these three franchises, Eddie has clearly set himself apart as one of the top action movie editors working today. Picking up two months after the events of MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - DEAD RECKONING PART ONE, Ethan Hunt and the IMF team must stop a malevolent AI known as "The Entity" from either forcing the world powers into a nuclear war or launching the missiles on its own. Adding to the challenge, they must do this before Ethan's nemesis Gabriel gains control of The Entity and its power to dominate the world. Eddie Hamilton, ACE Prior to finishing the seventh and eighth films in the Mission Impossible franchise, Eddie cut Top Gun: Maverick, directed by Joseph Kosinski, for which he was nominated for the Oscar and BAFTA Film Editing awards, and won the ACE Eddie and Hamilton Behind The Camera Award. He also cut Mission: Impossible - Fallout and Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation for director Christopher McQuarrie. Other credits include Kingsman: The Secret Service, Kingsman: The Golden Circle, X-Men: First Class and Kick-Ass for director Matthew Vaughn. After 30 years in the industry Eddie has cut over 20 feature films (both indies and studio movies) in a wide variety of genres as well as TV dramas, documentaries and award-winning short films. His enthusiasm for big screen storytelling is matched only by his total dedication to the craft of film editing, his nerdy technical expertise and his undisputed love of chocolate. He has given presentations on Avid Media Composer editing at NAB and IBC. Eddie is a member of the Academy Of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences, American Cinema Editors, British Film Editors and BAFTA, was on the feature film panel at EditFest London in 2013 and 2018, and was the keynote speaker at EditFest Los Angeles in 2022.

The cinematographer from Dave's homeland had a helluva a year with three award-winning films, this one winning Best Picture at the Oscars, and cementing the Coen Brothers as industry elites, much to their Chigurh (that's a movie joke). Yeah, it beat “There Will Be Blood”. We talk about it a bit. John also opens with his “MI” and “Friendship” takes. Grab a beer and hear our thoughts. Our phone number is 646-484-9298. It accepts texts or voice messages. 0:00 Intro; 4:29 John's mini-review of “MI: The Final Reckoning” and “Friendship”; 14:52 Gripes; 17:47 2007 Year in Review; 38:52 Films of 2007: “No Country For Old Men”; 1:38:52 What You Been Watching?; 1:47:34 Next Episode Teaser Additional Cast/Crew: Tommy Lee Jones, Josh Brolin, Javier Bardem, Roger Deakins, Joel Coen, Ethan Coen, Kelly Macdonald, Woody Harrelson, Stephen Root, Barry Corbin, Tess Harper, Gerret Dillahunt, Gene Jones, Scott Rudin, Paul Rudd, Tim Robinson, Hosts: Dave Green, Jeff Ostermueller, John Say Edited & Produced by Dave Green.

This week, the boys pull up their dacks, lace up their blunnies, pull over their cardies, eat a bikkie, grab a tinny, and lob in for the Ridgy Didge himself, Baz Luhrmann's first feature film, “Strictly Ballroom”. This isn't any ear bashing- we loved it! It made us three happy little Vegemites. After Jeff gives a quick mini-review of “Mission: Impossible— The Final Reckoning”, our native Aussie and gutless wonder, Dave, knackered from a good hissy at his lappy, guides us through this absolute hooley dooley.

As the Listen like Thieves 40th anniversary album soars up the international charts, we unpack the June 24th, 1986 live concert which is brilliantly packaged and re-mastered onto the new release for fans to enjoy. The beautiful and historic Royal Albert Hall, opened to the public in 1871, has been the epicenter of British and international culture ever since. Hosting diverse acts and individuals ranging from Phantom of the Opera, Albert Einstein, The BAFTA's and sports, this 5272 capacity venue was intimate enough but large enough to capture INXS as they finally cracked fickle UK critics and audiences. With a setlist that leant on the recent triumvirate successes of Shabooh Shoobah, The Swing and Listen Like Thieves plus a few recent soundtrack releases, INXS captured that famous primal, propulsive and passionate urgency they were known for. With iconic footage on You Tube of the band's sound check and interview footage with Tim, Kirk and Michael sprinkled with their famous “ Nile Rodgers warmup song”, INXS fans are showered in nostalgic overdrive. So whether you're a downloader, vinyl operator or CD aficionado, do yourself a favour and turn your device up to 11 (hello Spinal Tap), sing from the heart and fist pump with passion and pride.
