It's the return of Skywalker Sound supervising sound editor, Mac Smith! Mac takes us inside the sound of Philip Kaufman's 1983 NASA epic, The Right Stuff, where the malfunctioning jets were built from CHALKBOARD SQUEALS. We bask in some post-election glow, then suit up and push the outside of the envelope.
