Audio Commentary: Adventures in Babysitting with screenwriter David Simkins

We were shocked to discover that 1987’s Adventures in Babysitting doesn’t have a DVD or Blu Ray audio commentary.  After interviewing screenwriter David Simkins in 2022, we asked if he would be willing to record an audio commentary for Adventures in Babysitting and, to our delight, he agreed to do it.    In typical NWPP…

Ep. 102: Night Zoo

We continue #NIGHTvember with 1987’s Night Zoo.  With a title like Night Zoo, you’d expect a fun, family comedy.  Maybe something along the lines of Night at the Museum.  Spoiler alert!  You would be wrong.  Dead Wrong.   Night Zoo, directed by Jean-Claude Lauzon, is a dark film that spends the majority of its time…

Ep. 72: Sister, Sister – featuring Jason Kleeberg

Jason from the Force Five Podcast joins us as #Newoirvember continues with 1987’s SISTER, SISTER, the debut of director Bill Condon (GODS AND MONSTERS, CHICAGO). But is it noir? Southern noir?

We continue Comedy Month with 1987’s PRETTY SMART, the debut of director Dimitri Logothetis (SLAUGHTERHOUSE ROCK, JIU JITSU) and actor Patricia Arquette (NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 3: DREAM WARRIORS, BOYHOOD)!  But is this a comedy, or is it a drama?  Or was it intended to be a musical?

Ep. 48: Pinocchio and the Emperor of the Night

In this episode, we talk about a holiday classic.  While this movie doesn’t have anything to do with the holidays, it explores all the traditions of the holidays.  Traditions like getting wasted on carnival moonshine and going to a strip club complete with marionettes and, of course, letting your 1-year-old child wander the land on…

Ep. 44: Hellraiser – featuring Justin Grams

We invited our first guest, Justin Grams, to celebrate our TWO YEAR ANNIVERSARY by talking about HELLRAISER.  A lot has been said about this movie but that didn’t stop us from saying a whole lot more. For example, is Frank hot or not?  How hard is it to open the box?  Was blood the only…
