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.

Buckle up, movie lovers — it’s time to hit the gas!🔥

In Episode 3 of Timecode⏱️🤠Cowboys, we cruise the highway with Vanishing Point (1971), the cult classic that turned a white Dodge Challenger into an everlasting symbol of freedom, fatalism, and full-throttle filmmaking.

We talk the seeds of the screenplay written by a Cuban novelist (who might have also been a CIA agent) Barry Newman’s effortlessly stoic protagonist Kowalski, the mysterious DJ Super Soul, and that surreal mix of high-speed chases and ‘70s soul-searching that makes this film so indelibly iconic.

We also veer off-road into other iconic car chase flicks (The French Connection, Two-Lane Blacktop) and share how Vanishing Point floored us the first time we saw it.

This one’s got muscle cars, desert vibes, and a whole lot of cinematic myth-making. If you’ve ever dreamed of outrunning society with just a full tank and a fuzzed-out soundtrack, this episode’s for you.
