2025/01/31

When the film gods reach back into the mid to late 80s to bring back a film that should have had a long storied franchise, it usually fails. To our surprise though, when the new iteration of Street Trash came to life, it made so many right moves. We have producer Matt Manjourides, who also produces and co-created the return of Joe Bob Briggs with The Last Drive-In to talk about the original and semi-sequel to this twisted tale of the homeless and flesh melting products.

2024/12/24

Christmas time is here, and you know that means...VAMPIRES! The one and only Willem Dafoe joined us to talk about his role in Robert Eggers adaptation of Nosferatu. This also seemed like the perfect opportunity to discuss one hell of an Overdue Rental with Willem; Shadow of the Vampire. Before Eggers was even out of high school, Dafoe stepped into the shoes of Count Orlock in a film that images is Nosferatu director F.W. Murnau hired an actual vampire to star in his 1922 Dracula ripoff.

In the continuation of our coverage of the new film, Nickel Boys, we have Daveed Diggs join us to talk his experience working with RaMell Ross and company.

Welcome to episode 1 of or 3 episode special on the new film Nickel Boys. RaMell Ross hits the scene with his first full length feature (non-documentary) with the adaptation of the award winning book of the same name. The film is already getting best picture nods before its official release, including the recent nomination for best drama for the Golden Globes, whilst RaMell was fresh off being award best director by The Gothams and the New York Film Critic's Circle just days before speaking with us

2024/12/04

If you've ever woken up in the middle of the night and wondered if you transformed into a dog in the middle of the night and caused havoc around your neighborhood; you're not alone. Though, as Amy Adams experiences in her new film, Nightbitch, the reality of her experiences come from more of a deep place of lost identity compared to just some fun and games. We were thrilled to have the film's director, Marielle Heller, join us to talk about the film as well as her much loved, but still slightly

Overdue Rentals ·

2024/11/27

While David Gordon Green has helmed some big studio pictures and popular TV Shows, he has never turned away from his true indie roots. His new film, Nutcrackers, is a testament to heart and soul film making that jump started his career with George Washington. While we had David with us, we also had to talk to him about his bigger budget fantasy epic, Your Highness, which never struck a chord with a lot of audiences and we are here to change people's minds.

Overdue Rentals ·

2024/11/14

You may not see George Huang's name officially credited for as many projects he has his hands in. And while his new film, Weekend in Taipei is a slice of East Asian action pleasure, George's first film was a slice of life about the trials and tribulations of working in Hollywood. Swimming With Sharks is a sharp witted, comically dark tale from the early 90s that spoke volumes about the industry then, but probably echoes heavier today. It was a pleasure talking to George about these two films as well

Episode 121- Armand Assante on Don Q and Fatal Instinct

Overdue Rentals ·

2024/11/06

There has been a lot of movement in recent years with younger generations getting into classic spoof films. The Zucker, Abrams, Zucker and family classics from Airplane, to The Naked Gun, to Hot Shots! are making waves with new audiences. But one great spoof that was pretty much lambasted by critics on its release still remains under the radar for older and newer spoof fans. The Carl Reiner directed Fatal Instinct starred the one and only Armand Assante, who wasn't really know for comedy at the

2024/10/31

It was a sheer pleasure to speak with the man behind today's most effective and honest films of modern times, the stop motion expert, Adam Elliot. Adam's new film, Memoir of a Snail is in theater now, and much like his other full length feature, Mary and Max, it should not be missed.

Heads up! This episode starts and ends with our discussion with Timmy Williams, so don't worry, you didn't miss anything when you didn't hear our normal intro and outro. Having Timmy on as a guest has been germinating for months, as we originally planned to have him join us back in June. But, we finally got things in order and had a wonderful conversation about everything from The Whitest Kids U Know, Music, Life, and of course George Romero's 1981 love letter; Knightriders.

Alex Wolff (Nat too) have done amazing work breaking the young Nickelodeon star visage by headlining a slew of great pieces of true art. Alex's new film, The Line, continues that streak. We spoke him about the frat drama as well as his 2021 performance in the much loved, but still underseen, Pig.

We implore everyone to go see Rumours this weekend as it releases on Oct. 11th. It is Matthew's top film of the year at the moment. We were more than lucky to have the writing and directing team of Guy Maddin, Evan Johnson, and Galen Johnson join us to talk about this brilliant satirical satire as well as their 2017 experimental venture into loosely recreating Hitchcock's Vertigo with, The Green Fog.

We're late this week, we know! We apologize, things are a little crazy right now, but we didn't want to let you all down. This week we have New York Times best selling author Daniel Kraus with us to talk about his new book, Pay the Piper. This is Daniel's second co-authored project with the one and only George Romero as Daniel has finished two manuscripts George started before his passing.

The name Willie Pep might not spark a memory for many of you, but if you are a boxing fan and you don't know Willie, the you need to check out The Featherweight. The new film starring James Madio as Pep is starting its run in cinemas and you shouldn't miss it. While we had Madio with us to talk about the film, we also had to talk about his role in 1992's Hero. And of course, we had to see if that story about Dustin Hoffman plucking him from the set of Hook to play his son in Hero is

It Ends With Us is taking the box office by storm. We were lucky enough to have the film's producer, Alex Saks join us to talk about the process of getting such a film off the ground. We also took time to talk about one of her first gigs as a producer on the criminally underseen, Thoroughbreds.

2024/08/07

It's once again an tremendous honor to be joined by someone as special as the one and only, Jean Reno. Jean's new film, My Penguin Friend, is out this Friday, August 9th. While it was a pleasure to discuss this adaptation of the hit true story that took social media by storm, this also gave us the chance to talk to Jean about a classic Overdue Rental; 1998's, Ronin.
