Hello! Welcome to the latest edition of the exclusive audio commentary podcast hosted by me, David Hughes. For this episode, I’m delighted to be joined by Hayley Schore, co-screenwriter of Call Jane, Carol director Phyllis Nagy’s under-appreciated 2022 film about the "Janes", the underground group that gave Chicago women access to abortions in the pre-Roe v Wade years. Needless to say the film, which stars Elizabeth Banks, Sigourney Weaver, Chris Messina and Kata Mara, took on a horrible new

In this episode I’m very excited to be joined by screenwriter Jill Gevargizian, co-writer, director and producer of 2020’s brilliant Kansas City-set horror film The Stylist, in which a profoundly disturbed hair stylist, played by the phenomenal Najarra Townsend, gives very special hair treatment to her clients. Eat your heart out, Sweeney Todd. I’ve been a fan of this understated film – which

Hello! Welcome to a brand new episode of the audio commentary podcast hosted by me, David Hughes. On this episode, I'm delighted to bring you screenwriter Mishna Wolff's exclusive audio commentary for the whip-smart horror comedy Werewolves Within. Usually you can listen to one of our podcommentaries by themselves, but this one's a little sparse, so for best results, cue it up to the film, which is available to watch in the UK here and in the US here.

Hello! Welcome to the latest – 16th! – episode of the audio commentary podcast hosted by me, David Hughes. As a big fan of Neil Marshall, from Dog Soldiers to The Descent, Doomsday – not to mention the epic "Blackwater" episode of Game of Thrones – I'm delighted to join Neil and his co-writer/lead actor (and fiancée) Charlotte Kirk for a feature-length walk through The Reckoning, which is available to watch in the US here, and will be released in the UK on April 16th.

Hello! Welcome to the latest – 15th! – episode of the audio commentary podcast hosted by me, David Hughes. As soon as I finished the brilliant Wrong Turn reboot, I got straight in touch with director Mike P. Nelson to see if he'd be willing to record a commentary for us – and I was blown away when he not only said he would love to, but that he would round up lead actress Charlotte Vega, screenwriter Alan B.

Hello! Welcome to the latest – 14th! – episode of the audio commentary podcast hosted by me, David Hughes. I really enjoyed French director Julius Berg's 2020 horror movie The Owners, starring Maisie Williams, Sylvester McCoy and Rita Tushingham, and I was thrilled when Julius agreed to record an exclusive commentary – in flawless English – for the film, which is available here (US) or here (UK).

Hello! Welcome to the latest episode of the brand new audio commentary podcast hosted by me, David Hughes. I was really impressed by Adam Stovall's directorial debut paranormal romance A Ghost Waits, which has been a hit with festival audiences and appeared on a number of Top 10 lists from horror fans and critics. Despite having begun filming in the summer of 2016, it's only just becoming available outside the festival circuit, starting with a UK release exclusive to the Arrow Player platform. But

Hello! Welcome to the latest episode of the brand new audio commentary podcast hosted by me, David Hughes. I was really blown away by John Hyams' 2020 suspense thriller/psychological horror Alone, loosely based on the 2011 Swedish film Försvunnen (Gone), and I'm really grateful to Hyams for agreeing to record an exclusive commentary for the film, which is available here (US) or here (UK).

Hello! Welcome to a very exciting episode of the audio commentary podcast hosted by me, David Hughes. One of my favourite films released this year (in the US, at least) was Black Bear, a merciless examination of the personal cost of making art from life experience, featuring a tour de force performance from the reliably brilliant Aubrey Plaza, with Sarah Gabon and Christopher Abbott also excellent.

Hello! Welcome to a very special Christmas episode of the audio commentary podcast hosted by me, David Hughes. It's beginning to look a lot like a pretty bleak Christmas for many of us, so I'm especially thrilled that my screenwriting hero and long-time benefactor (he's contributed to almost all of my books) Steven E. de Souza, has gifted us with his first ever audio commentary for the perennial Christmas classic Die Hard.

Hello! Welcome to a very special episode of the audio commentary podcast hosted by me, David Hughes. My favourite film released in the UK in 2020 was Saint Frances, written by Kelly O'Sullivan (who also plays the lead role) and directed by Alex Thompson. I really wanted Kelly and/or Alex to record a commentary for the podcast, and when I found out they'd already recorded one – but that it was only available on the American Blu-ray edition – I decided to break with tradition and licence the recording

Hello! Welcome to a very special episode of the audio commentary podcast hosted by me, David Hughes. When I first had the idea for Rogue Commentary, the very first person I thought to ask – and, in fact, did ask – to record a commentary for me was this episode's very special guest, Emma Forrest. Maybe it was because I had loved her film, Untogether, so much, I contacted the publicist and asked if I could host a Q&A – which I did, on a rooftop cinema a few days later. Emma is such a brilliant
