Will Sloan, a film critic and author of Ed Wood: Made in Hollywood USA, challenges the stigma surrounding Ed Wood as "the worst director." He explores the director's queer identity and its significance in cinema history, particularly in Glen or Glenda. Sloan delves into the artistic ingenuity behind Wood's low-budget films, advocating for imagination over conventional quality standards. They discuss Hollywood's capitalist pressures on artists like Wood and Welles, and how this led to a unique, albeit tragic, legacy, forever reshaping views on outsider art.
