Recorded live from San Diego Comic-Con, Underrated hosted a panel on The Hidden Value of a Director's Cut! Enjoy it here as a bonus episode!

The director’s cut is a time-honored tradition in the film industry—where fans can bridge the gap between a studio’s perceived needs and a director’s artistic vision. But why do director’s cuts exist in the first place, and what have these done for studios and fans alike? The host of the Underrated Movie Podcast Derick McDuff is joined by Alix Catherine (public speaker, host, The Welcome Party), Tricia Aurand (award-winning screenwriter, podcast host), Andrew Linde (host, Nothing New: A Remake Podcast), Sarah Jefferson Carter (writer/director, Queendom Come), and Alex Marcus (podcast network director, The Pop Break) to discuss changing fundamental understandings of beloved movies, how a director’s cut can be effective/ineffective, and the most worthwhile director’s cuts in the pop culture space.
