Timecode⏱️🤠Cowboys | Ep. 6 | The Smight Stuff: Claire, Con Artists & Paper Moon

This week, the Smight family expands—and upgrades.
✨Claire Smight—art director, film connoisseur, and certified agent of cool—makes her long-awaited Timecode Cowboys debut 🎤🎉

With Peter Bogdanovich’s Paper Moon (1973) as our compass, we hit the open road to explore a world of scams, grifts, and Americana. Along the way we discuss the following:

👧 Tatum O’Neal’s Oscar-winning chaos as Addie Loggins

📖 The fine art of a Bible hustle

🎥 Bogdanovich’s obsession with vintage style and modern sharpness

🍼 And the truth about growing up in a house full of filmmakers, jokers, and cinephiles

It’s part family roast, part roadside elegy, and all love.
The Smights get reflective, ridiculous—and maybe a little rowdy. And yes: Claire absolutely steals the show (just like Tatum).

Timecode⏱️🤠Cowboys | Ep. 5 | Doctor’s Orders: Learning to Love the Cut with Mark Baldwin (and Dr. Strangelove)

This week, we step into the war room and go full Kubrick. Editor, documentarian, and raconteur Mark Baldwin joins us for a deep dive into the genius of Dr. Strangelove Or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb — from its razor-sharp satire to the way its editing reshaped comedy.

As a longtime industry vet with credits across both docs and narrative fare, Mark also shares his own career journey:

🧠 How Strangelove rewired his brain as a young cinephile
🎬 What it takes to build a lasting editing career in Hollywood
📼 Why sometimes the best edits happen when you don’t follow the script

It’s part masterclass, part therapy session for film lovers. Slim Pickens rides the bomb, and we ride shotgun with Baldwin.
