Ebert gives us a brief history of how he discovered Russ Meyer’s films and how he eventually met the man. He talks about working with the larger-than-life director and their creative process. Ebert also analyzes Meyer’s film techniques with excellent insight and dead-on observations. He also tells all kinds of anecdotes about the man in this solid track.

This is a wild track as they goad each other on laughing and generally enjoying themselves watching the movie. They talk about their experiences working on Dolls and with Meyer, telling refreshingly candid stories in a very funny way that makes this a very enjoyable track to listen to.

Roger Ebert has obviously prepared and talks non-stop about the movie, Meyers, and pretty much anything you ever wanted to know about the film industry. I'm an info junkie but at times even I found it almost too much. I needed to rewind more than a few times when my mind wandered. Still, it's good stuff and well worth listening to. Ebert talking about something he likes and appreciates ( even if it is biased ) is always a wonderful thing to hear. The man mastered the art of communicating an idea.
