Nick D – Erik, Steve, Movie Reviews & Trainspotting is 30!
About this episode
Nick discusses film reviews and generational differences with guests while reflecting on the 30th anniversary of Trainspotting.
Nick welcomes film critics Erik Childress and Steve Prokopy back to the podcast to talk about the surprising box office success of a pair of independent horror films, a new music documentary on HBO, and several new releases, including Masters of the Universe, Carolina Caroline, Backrooms, and more. Later, Esmeralda Leon joins Nick for a conversation about generational differences, the oddball movie 8 Million Ways to Die, and the Scary Movie franchise. They also come to the unsettling realization that Trainspotting is now 30 years old. That leads to a hilarious discussion about aging, cultural references that no longer land, and the fact that far too many people have no idea who the Wu-Tang Clan or Foster Brooks are. [Ep 461]
