The Criminally Overlooked Art of Spoof DVD Commentaries

I don’t know about you, but I am a sucker for a good DVD commentary. When done thoughtfully, they can greatly increase your appreciation and understanding of a film. Most often it's simply a group of cast and creators gathering to share anecdotes and insights on the film and the production process. Other times you find instances where the individuals performing the commentary have meltdowns or act

Jenn The Editor: I miss these soooo much. This is why I still collect DVDs. I also love the Gone Girl commentary with David Fincher. He tells a great story about how Ben Affleck held up production for a few days by refusing to wear a Yankees hat in a scene
