Ep582: Friends 'Til The End
Today, The Kicking the Seat Podcast talks Rent-a-Pal with writer/director Jon Stevenson and stars Brian Landis Folkins and Wil Wheaton! In this offbeat 90’s-set thriller, Folkins stars as David, a lonely forty-year-old who discovers a strange VHS tape at his virtual dating service. The video’s clean-cut and cheerful host, Andy (Wheaton), offers fun and companionship—but at a price David isn’t quite ready to pay.
In this pair of brief and spoiler-free interviews (one with Wheaton, one with Stevenson and Folkins), Ian and his guests dig the film’s origins; the strange coincidences that followed the production; and insights from the actors about creating multi-layered characters.
Also, Ian reviews Rent-a-Pal; recommends the video versions of both interviews; and tells Chicagoans where they can catch it on the big screen this weekend (as well as On Demand)!
Episode 582 is kind, but doesn’t rewind!
