- Interview (21:13, HD) is a video conference conversation with actor Jeff Bridges, who's in Livingston, Montana for the chat, where "Rancho Deluxe" was shot (living inside a set he kept from the "Heaven's Gate" shoot). Asked about his memories from the production, Bridges immediately goes to his wife, Sue, whom he met during the shoot, initially turned down for a date. The interviewee reveals he has photographic evidence of this meeting, which he keeps in his wallet. Project origins are discussed, with the producer initially chasing Beau Bridges for the part. Bridges explores his sibling relationship and recalls time with director Frank Perry. Production oddities are remembered, along with co-stars, with Bridges enjoying the cast, but forming a longstanding friendship with Joe Spinell. The on-set vibe is assessed, and changing times in Livingston are identified. The talk concludes with thoughts on Jimmy Buffett's presence on the set.
- Interview (10:37, HD) with screenwriter Tom McGuane opens with his story of getting "Rancho Deluxe" made, openly lying to producer Elliott Kastner that he had a script ready to go before writing one in a hurry before they met. McGuane recalls the Montana headspace during the 1970s, and how this hippie-esque way was processed by director Frank Perry. The interviewee recalls his own ranch hand history, and goes into the buddy element of the writing. McGuane has plenty to share about the cast, finding Jeff Bridges amiable, Jimmy Buffett hilarious, and Slim Pickens playful. With initial reviews quite divided on "Rancho Deluxe," McGuane is happy about the movie's cult longevity, remaining in circulation for decades.
