For the past ten years, Dan Berk and Bobby Olsen have teamed up to bring you some amazing films. You may have seen their directorial debut Body, their black comedy horror Villains, or the science fiction thriller Significant Other.
Their most recent collaboration is Novocaine, starring Jack Quaid as Nathan Caine, a mild-mannered introvert with a rare disorder, congenital insensitivity to pain (CIP), who must rescue the girl of his dreams who has been taken hostage in a bank robbery. The film is action-packed with an incredible cast: Quaid, Amber Midthunder, and Ray Nicholson. It’s in theaters right now.
Dan & Bobby join us to talk about Novocaine, the movie posters that graced their college dorm, and the alien Station from Bill and Ted’s Bogus Journey. Plus, praise for practical effects and the enduring charm of Jack Quaid.
Then, Jordan turns the page to talk about journalist Emily St. James' new book Woodworking. It's a beautiful coming-of-age story that you must read.
