So, there's this doc called Robert Altman and Garry Trudeau (2004), where the two sit down and chat about their experience working on Tanner '88. It's got this really laid-back vibe, almost like eavesdropping on an engaging discussion between two old friends. The pacing feels natural, nothing rushed—just them reflecting on the innovative blend of politics and satire they crafted. Trudeau's insights are sharp, and Altman's relaxed storytelling style really brings it all to life. There's something raw about it, no flashy edits or effects, just a pure conversation that highlights their respect for the craft. It's distinct, not just for the subject but for how it captures that moment in time when TV was really starting to challenge the norm.
