Coppola addresses the changes in the soundtrack by saying that after all these years he wanted to move away from a score that commented on what was happening to music that the characters would actually be listening to. The filmmaker delivers another top notch commentary full of smart observations and talks at length about why he prefers this cut.

Coppola invited all of them back to see this new cut of the film with Lowe and Dillon recorded separately. The others have a lot of fun watching it together as they talk about Coppola’s loose, almost improvisational approach that allowed them to play out long takes and develop them organically. Dillon and Lane confirm that their on-screen relationship mirrored their off-screen one. This is an entertaining track that fans will love. It’s great to hear these actors talk about this movie after all these years.

Coppola mentions how a scene was influenced by Spielberg's DUEL, a nice nod to a younger contemporary. A shame, though, that he dispensed with his father's beautiful film score, believing it too cheesy and on the nose. No, Francis - it's called Teenage Epic! All teens believe their teen lives are tragedies, so leave it be! Besides, the music was gorgeous. I wish he would release the first version to blu-ray...
