WARNING: Make sure to watch BEYOND SKYLINE before listening to this! As regular listeners may know, we at The Important Cinema Club are huge fans of movie commentary tracks and are always disappointed when a Blu-ray doesn't feature one - especially when a film's Writer/Director is a fan of sharing behind the scenes stories on his Twitter/Instagram. So, we decided to record our own! In celebration of the release of SKYLINES (The third film in the trilogy), The Important Cinema Club is proud to present an exclusive commentary track for BEYOND SKYLINE featuring Writer/Director Liam O'Donnell. Enjoy!

After doing an episode on Hallmark Christmas Movies I had a lot of questions on my mind, so I was really excited to talk to one of the experts on the Christmas directing scene: Sam Irvin. Sam has worked as Brian De Palma's assistant, made films for Full Moon, and has had a prolific career as director of TV Movies of all sorts - and that includes 8 Christmas movies! He was nice enough to have a chat with me about his experiences with gruelling schedules, shooting a Gay Christmas Movie (that can pass as straight), and the limits of Christmas cheer. Don't forget to check out all of Sam's recent work below!
