Between this and the first “Great Showdowns” book, how many pieces have you included, how many were left out, and what is that process like? There are about 150 Showdowns per book. About 600 are currently on the Great Showdowns site, so there are many potential books in the future. I try to choose a good balance of films that are popular amongst the masses and ones that are more obscure, so everyone can enjoy it. I don't want to have too many obscure ones to frustrate everyone. But i like the challenges. Plus, many of the unused showdowns can be used in future books, so cutting them is no big deal.
