Documentary Filmmaker Dan Napoli joins former toy artist and NYC-based creative director John Battistini to wax intellectual on influential albums, movies, comics, and television shows from the 1980's and 1990's, influenced them growing up as part of the MTV Generation.
It’s Kevin Smith – part deux. Dan & John talk about Smith’s major studio debut – and massive commercial flop – Mallrats, and why they loved it anyway - as the film cemented its cult status, recently turned 25 with a tone of media coverage and special DVD / Blu-Ray release.
They discuss which they like better – Clerks or Mallrats, the undervalued impact of ‘90’s “dorm room theater”, and ultimately how Kevin’s tale of making a movie with a bigger budget and more people to answer to helped our duo navigate their own experiences, and what really defines a successful film or any creative project in Dan & John’s eyes.
