Heart and Souls (1993) with director Ron Underwood

ROGUE COMMENTARY

Hello! Welcome to the third episode of the audio commentary podcast hosted by me, David Hughes.

This episode we're blessed with a brand new director's commentary for "Heart and Souls", the whimsical, high-spirited 1993 comedy-drama directed by Ron Underwood (Tremors, City Slickers) and adapted – by Tremors screenwriters S.S. Wilson and Brent Maddock – from Gregory and Erik Hansen's (impossible to find) short film "Seven Souls". The film wasn't the hit Universal Pictures was hoping for back in 1993 – full disclosure: I worked on the international release of the film, and one of the places it didn't get released was the UK – but it has been discovered over time, and I know it has a place in the hearts of a lot of people. And what a cast: Robert Downey Jr., Alfre Woodard, Elisabeth Shue, Charles Grodin, Tom Sizemore and David Paymer... not to mention Robert Downey Jr. playing Alfre Woodard, Charles Grodin, Tom Sizemore... (If you've seen the film, you'll know what we mean.) Hopefully we don't have to say this, but please watch the film before you listen to the commentary, as there are spoilers aplenty.

As always, you can listen as a podcast, or cue it up to the film, which – thanks to JustWatch – you can find here (UK) or here (US).

Comments? Feedback? Suggestions? Email David *at * Rogue-Commentary *dot* com or tweet at us. (We know it works, because this episode was inspired by a listener who suggested we ask Ron Underwood to record a Tremors commentary – which he'd just done for Arrow's new box set, so he couldn't do for us. But he gave us the next best thing...)

We have lots of exciting episodes in the works, so if you like what you hear – or just the idea – please subscribe, and remember to rate us wherever you hear this podcast – it'll really help us to keep going. Oh, and follow us on Twitter to stay up-to-date on our forthcoming releases.
