Margaret Bodde has worked with Martin Scorsese for over a decade. She has been involved in several documentary projects with him, including Nothin' But The Blues (1996), a film featuring Eric Clapton which aired on PBS and was nominated for an Emmy. The Blues documentary series is a result of Scorsese's and Bodde's desire to delve deeper into the rich history of the genre, viewed through the lens of directors with personal, emotional connections to the music.

Percentiles are each film's standing among all films on MovieCove; the typical film is the median, so one outlier cannot drag it. Percentiles and reviewer scores count the films IMDb credits them on, for now; the Midcredits score bands, the shape of the crowd and the two cards count their MovieCove titles, shows included (a show ranked among shows), appearances as themselves left out. A descriptor is the shape of a title's IMDb rating distribution against the catalog; "most divisive" needs a spread wider than half of all titles, and a card names only a principal credit: a craft role, and on a show a crew role or a run of episodes, never a courtesy credit or a one-off guest spot.
