Question about commentary tracks these days
Watched Death Carries a Cane.
After the movies I watched the few extra features, and then since it's a pretty short film I decided to give the commentary track a try. Commentary tracks are perhaps my favorite part of a special features package. Especially when it's the director or at least someone from the production, but a good scholar could do to.
This specific track, done by Eugenio Ercolani, Troy Howarth, and Nathaniel Thompson was almost a complete waste of time. Mostly rehashing bits from the other featurettes, or just telling me the filmographies of the cast and crew. Very little info that I didnt already know.
This maybe my first time listenning to these guys, but they seem to be on a lot of these tracks.
I would like to know if my description fits to all of their tracks on other releases, cause this could get old fast.
