Episode description

Born in New Orleans, LA and raised in Bakersfield, CA, Nicholas Maggio now lives in Los Angeles. His directorial debut, MOB LAND (2023) starring John Travolta, Shiloh Fernandez, Ashley Benson, Stephen Dorff, & Kevin Dillon, is a homage to the classic American Neo-Noir genre.

We discussed the making of his debut feature film, the DIY nature of making indie movies, hardcore music, and then discussed two of his all time favorites the John Hughs classic THE BREAKFAST CLUB and Andrew Dominik's THE ASSASSINATION OF JESSE JAMES BY THE COWARD ROBERT FORD.
