Swing Shift (1984) w/ Keith Uhlich

Film critic Keith Uhlich (Slant, Time Out New York) joins Carlo & Steve to breakdown Swing Shift (1984, directed by Jonathan Demme, starring Goldie Hawn) and why the Custom Workprint Edit is superior to the theatrical release. Keith describes how we got from Demme’s initial work print to the theatrical release, and everything that happened to get to the Custom Workprint version (1:21:00).

But first, Keith describes his film review style, favorite auteur film makers, and his love of The X-Files and Vince Gilligan.
