Episode 125 – Walter Murch: Suddenly Something Clicked (And 5 Years of Filmumentaries!) In this special 125th episode of The Filmumentaries Podcast, I'm joined once again by the legendary Walter Murch — editor, sound designer, director, author, and true philosopher of cinema. This also happens to mark five years since I launched the podcast, so it felt only fitting to celebrate with someone whose insights have shaped not only cinema itself but how we understand it. Walter and I discuss his new book, Suddenly Something Clicked, which is due for release on 8th May 2025 via Faber & Faber (thank you to them for kindly sending me a preview copy). The book is a rich mix of theory, practice, and history — true to Walter's description of it as a “twisted rope” of ideas. We cover everything from the evolution of editing, cinema as a biological and neurological phenomenon, the mysteries of sound design, and even the mechanics of live television editing. Walter reflects on the analog vs digital shift, why sound should be metaphorical as well as realistic, and how editing mirrors the way our own bodies process time and perception. We also get into Return to Oz, AI in filmmaking, and his thoughts on films like Adolescence and 1917 that attempt to eliminate the cut entirely. As ever, it's a joy to speak with Walter — and I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did recording it.All my linksSuddenly Something ClickedOriginal 1977 Star Wars Screening

Up until now my interviews have been with 80 yr old men who were famous for wearing white suits. Jamie Benning is not 80 yrs old and I’m not sure what colour suits he prefers. Jamie is not a star from the 1980s. He’s the same age as me but he is championing movies from the 80s by means of his fantastic filmumentaries. See my recent blog post for more info about his filmumentaries and you can also visit Filmumentaries.com. Watch my Twitter feed later today where I will be running a competition to win a signed poster from Jamie. Massive thanks to Jamie Benning for inviting me into his home and letting me interview him for the podcast. You can view Jamie’s work at Filmumentaries.com.
