I've posted before about how, as a photographer, I love all your talks about lens selection, composition, etc., but this episode was especially great since you guys talked about specific directing choices in motion, and things I never thought about (learning!) like effects of long lenses in parallax! Also made me appreciate how talented, pretty much every director that makes it big in Hollywood are, even if I generally detest their works (seriously, seriously hate Emmerich's movies, except maybe Stargate). I can't wait until you do a Michael Bay episode (apologies, if you've already made one, in which case I'll go back and re-listen).
