In episode twelve, we talk to the amazing writer of Midnight Run George Gallo, about Martin Brest 'film school', nixing the potential casting of Cher, choosing Yaphet Kotto to star as Mosely, filmmaking advice from Sydney Pollack, and so much more. This episode also includes James Urbaniak's beautiful performance of Charles Grodin's recollections of Midnight Run from his memoir It Would Be So Nice If You Weren't Here.

In episode eleven, we discuss being twelve and convincing the family to go and see MIDNIGHT RUN, second-hand Farina parenting stories, how Martin Brest creates menacing stakes usually absent from action comedies and more.

In episode ten, we discuss travelling across the U.S.A., MIDNIGHT RUN as a once-in-a-generation comedy, De Niro requiring the most "real" straight man for his best comedic performances and experiencing De Niro's bullshit first hand.

In episode nine, we discuss that it's a crime that we didn't get nine more De Niro and Grodin movies, the similarities between Bad Boys and Midnight Run, what constitutes "I can fix him" energy, and the hot sliding door of Cher as an alternate version of The Duke.

In episode eight, we discuss that “Midnight Run” cannot be defined as a screwball comedy, its kinship with “Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part 1”, an age where actors looked like real people and finding the middle ground between “Scarecrow” and “Bad Boys”. 

In episode seven, we discuss complete unfamiliarity with the brilliance of Grodin’s talk show persona on Carson, the alchemy of De Niro and Grodin, some of the great Yaphet Kotto “Alien” stories and so much more.

In episode six, we discuss the eminent rewatch value, De Niro as god, the beauty of network TV/cable, and the ability to stumble upon gems like Midnight Run.

In episode five, we discuss how three minutes of Phillip Baker Hall inspired Paul Thomas Anderson to kickstart his incredible career, ask who the Martin Brest guys are, and how this movie collects acolytes.

In episode four, we discuss De Niro’s hotness, being scandalised by Midnight Run on cable while babysitting, loving diners and so much more.

In episode three, we discuss seeing Midnight Run in theatres then and now, Grodin being annoying as a superpower and crying every time you watch one of the funniest movies ever made.

In episode two we discuss Dennis Farina’s fear-inducing performance, the structural perfection of Midnight Run and how incredible every single cast member, no matter the size of the role, is wonderful.

In episode one, we discuss theories of TREMORS using MIDNIGHT RUN’s score as their temp track in the edit, the scene of De Niro’s career and director Martin Brest letting actors cook.
