Overdue Rentals

Happy October everyone! What better way to kick off Halloween month than a nice chat with David Howard Thornton who portrays the twisted killer Art the Clown in Terrifier and its new sequel, Terrifier 2. Much to our delight, when it came time to talk about his Overdue Rental choice, David decided to go a bit further away from the Terrifier camp and chose to discuss Who Framed Roger Rabbit. How come there is never a question mark in the title of Who Framed Roger Rabbit? We should have looked into that!

It's another very special episodes kids! The absolute powerhouse that is Emily Watson joins us today to talk about her new film, God's Creatures. But you know, if we are going to have Emily Watson in the shop, we are going to also talk to her about her breakthrough role in Lars Von Trier's, Breaking the Waves. Speaking with Emily is just another reminder of how lucky we are to speak with the top talent in this business. Tune in and enjoy as we delve into some dark material, but don't worry, some good laughs are to be had. Also, some sing-a-longs?

It's podcast cross pollination time! Our friend and co-host of the Geek History Lesson podcast, Ashley Victoria Robinson joins us to talk about the Academy Award winning, yet still Overdue Rental, Argo. This best picture winner does still have some interesting controversies around it, and it feels strange that it dropped so far out of public consciousness; we just had to talk about it. Join us as we talk about all things Affleck and Argo, even as Matthew makes constant mistakes the whole way through!

Barbarian is a new horror/thriller from Zach Cregger of The Whitest Kids You Know. We were lucky enough to have the other Zach associated with the film, Zach Kuperstein with us to discuss his work as the films director of photography. Zach also discussed the work he did on the absolutely gorgeous; The Eyes of My Mother. If you haven't seen The Eyes of My Mother, make sure you get that taken care of as soon as you can.

Our good friend. Alec Kubas-Meyer is back on in the store with us! This time, we are moving out of Germany (go listen to Alec's last appearance talking about Run Lola Run) and heading into China to talk about Stephen Chow's, Kung Fu Hustle. Join as as we talk about this absolute must see film.

Don't worry everyone, Mike is just fine. He's just on special. extra cool assignment right now in a foreign country. While he is away, our good friend Andrew Korpan stopped by the shop to assist in talking to this week's guest; James Ponsoldt. James' new film Summering is hitting theaters this Friday, August 12th, and we took some time to talk about this new coming of age story, along with another type of coming of age story directed by James; The Spectacular Now. There are few people are lovely and kind as James out there, so this will be one fine listen for you all.

This week's special guest is writer/director Steve Pink who's new film, The Wheel, is available to rent now through all your favorite OnDemand services.

Yes, you read that right! The one and only Wes Studi joins us to talk about his new film, A Love Song, which he stars in with Dale Dickey. While we had Mr. Studi on hand to speak with us, we also made sure to inquire about this week's Overdue Rental, the 1992 instant classic; The Last of the Mohicans. The film will be celebrating its 30th anniversary this September, so what better time to dive into the film with one of its stars. Enjoy this wonderful conversation with such a wonderful human being.

Our friend and colleague Andrew Korpan drops by the shop to discuss the Warren Beatty helmed Dick Tracy adaptation which starred every actor in the known universe. What was once a massive release has seemingly disappeared from public perception and we wanted to talk about it. Please note, this was recorded a few months ago, before the passing of James Caan. Just thought we should note why we did not wish him well when his name was brought up.

Let the British invasion of Overdue Rentals continue! We were blessed to be joined by the lovely David Earl to talk about his new film which he co-wrote and stars in; Brian and Charles. We also got to chat about his Overdue Rental choice, the 1999 instant classic; American Movie.
