You are listening to The Next Best Picture podcast, and these are Will Mavity's interviews with the editor for The Power of the Dog, Peter Skabaris, and the cinematographer Ari Wagner, and my interview with one of the film stars, Jesse Plemons.

All right, so, first off, you know, you've been David Meshad's kind of long-time editor.

So how did you get teamed up with Jane?

That happened kind of around, I think we'd maybe just finish the king.

for quite a few years. And David, I had this story much after getting the gig, but David was

telling Jane how fantastic I was and how much fun

he'd had working with me.

And yeah, and then it just kind of happened.

He was right.

So I guess we should just kind of go ahead and say, I think the only way to really discuss

your work in this film effectively is to acknowledge to anyone who's going to be listening to this, that there's going to be some

spoilers because, you know, I can only ask you about my favorite parts if we do that.

Films a puzzle box.

I guess the big twist in this film, it's all building up to, is that Cody Smith-Bee's

character infected Benedict Cumberbotch with arsenic, right?

With anthrax?

Not arsenic. Antaracts, yes. Yeah, correct, yeah.

So, uh, why don't you just kind of go through the process of laying those puzzle pieces

to kind of sneakily build that reveal?
