Short Cuts (1993) Criterion Disc Review

The work of two great American artists merges in Short Cuts, a kaleidoscopic adaptation of the stories of renowned author Raymond Carver by maverick director Robert Altman. Epic in scale yet meticulously observed, the film interweaves the stories of twenty-two characters as they struggle to find solace and meaning in contemporary Los Angeles. The extraordinary ensemble cast includes Tim Robbins, Julianne Moore, Robert Downey Jr., Jack Lemmon, and Jennifer Jason Leigh-all giving fearless performances in what is one of Altman’s most compassionate creations.

I'm about to start listening, and I'm wondering if you address the mystery of the ever-decreasing bonus features on the various editions of Short Cuts (from the LaserDisc onwards). www.criterionforum.org/DVD-review/short-cuts-blu-ray/the-criterion-collection/1648
I have the wonderful 2004 release, which includes a book of the Raymond Carver short stories upon which the film is based. Brilliant. ✌️
*Having now listened to a good portion of the podcast, I'm taken aback by how underwhelmed you all are.
