Intriguingly, when you type Schoomaker’s full name in a Google Chrome or Google search bar, the first query that comes up is “Thelma Schoonmaker salary.” Really!? People most want to know what she makes? Weird.

Just before the holidays, Den of Geek deputy editor Ryan Lambie shared a lively Q&A with Martin Scorsese’s go-to editor.
