I recently spoke with editor Jennifer Barbot about "Spider-Noir," now streaming on Prime Video. The conversation added another connection to my ever-expanding circle of one degree of separation from Nicolas Cage, who stars as The Spider in the series. Among the highlights was Barbot's story about taking her son to visit one of the show's filming locations. The experience culminated in an interaction with Cage that remains a priceless family memory.
Barbot is a film and television editor whose recent credits also include the series finale of "Lucky," starring Anya Taylor-Joy. Her editing work also includes "Dope Thief", "Your Honor", "Raised by Wolves" and "The Man in the High Castle."
A graduate of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign with a background in journalism, Barbot began her career producing and editing documentaries for PBS while in college. She later taught film editing in the MFA program at NYU Tisch School of the Arts Asia in Singapore and at NYU Abu Dhabi.
Barbot is proud of her Cuban and French heritage and is fluent in Spanish and French. She is a member of American Cinema Editors and supports efforts to foster diversity within the organization and throughout the entertainment industry.
Passionate about storytelling, Barbot has built a career bringing stories to life on both the big and small screen. She hopes to one day edit a project in Spanish or French.

![Jon S. Baird & Steven Rogers Talk Everythings Going to be Great - Interview
Everything’s Going to Be Great is a warm, sharply funny dramedy about the families we build through art and the chaos that comes with them. Allison Janney and Bryan Cranston lead as Macy and Buddy Smart, lifelong partners in love and in their scrappy regional theater company, who’ve spent decades raising two boys and staging shows across the country. Their sons, Derrick (Jack Champion) and Lester (Benjamin Evan Ainsworth), are polar opposites, yet equally shaped by their parents’ relentless optimism and offbeat lifestyle. When a long-shot opportunity arises, the family is forced to confront whether their dream is still worth chasing—or whether it’s time to let go.
The film is directed by Jon S. Baird [Tetris, Stan & Ollie (a personal favorite)] and written by Steven Rogers (I, Tonya), who spoke with me about the personal roots and tonal tightrope of the story. Rogers, whose father worked in regional theater, shared that the script began as a love letter to a world rarely shown on screen. He chuckled when I brought up his name’s more famous Marvel namesake—something he’s heard his entire life and assured me he is, in fact, not Captain America.
Baird was impressed that I pronounced his surname in the proper Scottish fashion (something that was truly a shot in the dark). He said he was drawn in immediately by the script’s emotional shifts, laughing on one page, tearing up the next. The film’s central idea, that the family business is the dream, resonated deeply with him.
Produced by Bryan Unkeless, Alex Lalonde, and Rogers, with an ensemble that also includes Simon Rex and Chris Cooper, Everything’s Going to Be Great lives up to its title—not because the road is easy, but because it’s worth the ride. Through setbacks and setbacks (including COVID-era delays), the team held onto the belief that this was a story worth telling. That passion is all over the screen.
Everything’s Going to Be Great comes to theaters on Friday, June 20, 2025.
