463. 4Qs with Nick Roth

What are the 4Qs? (1) Three favorite films. (2) An underrated film. (3) An overrated film. (4) A lesser-known film people should seek out.

Happy Tuesday, My curious friends and welcome back! I’m hoping you enjoyed my chat with the remarkably talented Nick Roth last week and you are back to catch his 4Qs!

Nick wrote and co-directed the feature comedy Hanky Panky, which took home the Grand Jury Awards for Best Feature Film – Comedy and Best Cast Performance – Feature Film at Film Invasion Los Angeles in 2024.

This film is seriously funny and I URGE to go to your favorite place to buy/rent films and watch Hanky Panky as soon as possible.

462. Nick Roth “Hanky Panky”

Happy Thursday, Cinema Peeps! I’m thrilled that today you’ll be learning about filmmaker Nick Roth.

Nick wrote and co-directed the feature comedy Hanky Panky, which happened to take home the Grand Jury Awards for Best Feature Film – Comedy and Best Cast Performance – Feature Film at Film Invasion Los Angeles in 2024.

When I first saw Hanky Panky, I had one thought. “The people who made this film are the BEST PEOPLE.” This ensemble comedy sincerely takes me back to the glory days of Monty Python and Kids In The Hall movies,
where a group of smart, funny people do their best to create something that nobody has seen before. Therefore you should accept the challenge to go to your favorite place to buy/rent films and watch Hanky Panky.
Nick is of the opinion that the film is perfectly fine, maybe even better, on the AVOD platforms that throw ads into the film at random moments. Personally, I think you should rent it on an ad free platform.

Is that enough setup? I think so!

Except that you can go to @hankypankymovie to get weblink and more!
