Idle Hands (1999) & Interview w/ Jonathan Doe (Cinema's Underbelly)

Slashers

Hack to School month continues with Idle Hands from our hosts' awkward adolescence, and yours too (probably).

The film was directed by Rodman Flender, who had a tremendous amount of restraint in taking the chance to reshoot the entire ending to ensure that it was tonally accurate to the remainder of the film.

Idle Hands was written by Terri Hughes and Ron Milbauer. The team started with Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and have gone on to write and produce tons of content.

We talk about all of the uhm... influences? that the film relied on, perhaps too heavily in some ways, including most famously An American Werewolf in London. *Cough* Seth Green is basically just Jack, but also really good *cough*

Devon Sawa plays Anton Tobias, who perhaps is named after Anton Levay... perhaps.

Seth Green plays Mick alongside Elden Henson as Pnub. The team embody stoners as well as Jay and Silent Bob and spookiness as well as Reaper, Deadbeat, and even Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency.

Vivica A. Fox is violent, beautiful hand-hunter, Debi LeCure. She aligns herself with Jack Noseworthy as Randy, the heavy metal heart throb, or whatever.

Doug also takes time to interview Jonathan Doe, aka Cinema's Underbelly, director of Barf Bunny. Check out his youtube here: https://www.youtube.com/c/CinemasUnderbelly and his podcast here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEd-DJJpKSJxAMSEfh6rw1g/featured

You may know their guitarist, Jordan Olds aka Gwarsenio Hall from Two Minutes to Late Night, a much more successful show than ours, but with the same level of engorged wiener energy.
