Overdue Rentals

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...

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. We also are talking about his 2018 film, Blindspotting. There is a lot to get into here, so less typing from us so you can go listen to it now.

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 awa...

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 dire...

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...

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 th...

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 direct...

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 K...

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 F...

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. Along w...

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...

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.

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.

We're finally wrapping up our interviews for the long awaited Longlegs with writer/director, Osgood Perkins. Oz is here to not only talk about his smash hit, Longlegs, but also his first production (which was his second released film), The Blackcoat's Daughter. Strap in for darkness and grief with some light moments in between!

Legendary film maker Lee Tamahori's new film The Convert is already out and in theaters and OnDemand for all to enjoy. We couldn't pass up the chance to talk to Lee about the film and his groundbreaking feature, Once Were Warriors. This might be a more overall serious episode of Overdue Rentals, but it is a highly important and thoughtful one.

Longlegs week continues! This time we have the absolute lovely Alicia Witt with us to discuss her time and process on the smash indie hit, Longlegs. But, we're also discussing her role as Cherish in John Waters oft missed, Cecil B. Demented.

I'm still amazed that we have come to the point that maybe one of the greatest films of all time, is an Overdue Rental. This Friday, July 12th sees the release of Guy Pearce's new film, The Convert in theaters and On Demand. And while Guy was with us to talk about his new film with famed director Lee Tamahori, we had the opportunity to discuss both the legend that is L.A. Confidential, and...

You all better have your viewing schedule packed to the brim this week as there are two films you have to make sure you see. The highly anticipated Longlegs is hitting theaters on July 12th. In the first of three interviews we have coming for you from the film, we have the one and only Blair Underwood joining us. Blair talks to us all about joining such a one of a kind film and his role in the 199...

The day has come! The 40th anniversary of The NeverEnding Story is upon us, but more importantly; Tami Stronach who played The Childlike Empress in the film is back on screen for the first time in 40 years in her new film, Man & Witch: The Dance of a Thousand Steps. Man & Witch will have a limited run in theaters nationwide between July 28th to July 30th. Click here to get your tickets, no...

It's part two of our coverage of The Exorcism and this week we are graced with the great Adam Goldberg. Along with his work in The Exorcism, Adam talks about the greatly missed, The Hebrew Hammer.

There are few actors out there with such a wide range and ability that allows audiences to see them in so many different lights. The good guy, the bad guy, the wing man, the loner, the neurotic, the strong willed...the list would go on forever if I listed all the options. One person with this quality is the great David Hyde Pierce. David appears in the new horror/drama The Exorcism along side Russ...

The 2024 Tribeca Film Festival may be wrapping up, but we still have some special discussions to share with everyone. The wonderful Lisa Edelstein joined us to discuss her Tribeca comedy, The Everything Pot. She also is discussing the classic 1978 version of Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

It was a true honor to speak with the one and only Stephen Fry about his new film, Treasure, as well as the 1992 all-star breakthrough that is Peter's Friends. Stephen is someone who we can safely say everyone on earth is familiar with in one way or another, but he has always held a special place in our hearts; so it was such a thrill to talk about these films and more with him.
