Episode 73: Fantastic Fest Q&A: The Last Video Store w/Cody Kennedy, Tim Rutherford, Kevin Martin

September 30, 2023 / Aaron Haughton

Forget the format wars! The Last Video Store is a VHS battleground set in a basement video store where the physical media is so physical, it can kill. Directed by Cody Kennedy & Tim Rutherford, and featuring an entertaining and charismatic performance from Kevin Martin, the film is a kooky Canuxploitation horror comedy with extra cheese and a dollop of heart. It had its world premiere on day 2 of Fantastic Fest, screening in its midnight section, and we're delighted to share its Q&A with you!

Episode 68: Bottoms Q&A w/Emma Seligman, Max Handelman, and Alison Small

August 27, 2023 / Aaron Haughton

We were able to catch an early screening of the ferociously funny teen sex satire, Bottoms, with a Q&A from director, co-writer, and executive producer Emma Seligman, along with producers Max Handelman and Alison Small. This flick is a lot of gloriously over-the-top fun, and we think you should definitely check it out, especially if you love films like Heathers or the teen comedies of the 90s.
