We've hit a lot of different (Canadian) genres in #VIDtober 2: kids film, thriller, horror, and now, comedy? Yes, comedy! 1987's MR. NICE GUY is the type of (Canadian) 80's comedy we haven't seen since THE FUNNY FARM (not that FUNNY FARM)! Literally, since star Mike McDonald (not that Mike McDonald) and co-writer Mark Breslin are both in that movie as well! (Which was also Canadian.)

Bonus Episode: Interview Part 1 with director Fritz Kiersch (UNDER THE BOARDWALK, TUFF TURF, WINNERS TAKE ALL)
We end #HAHAugust 2: Double Take with a bucket list guest: director Fritz Kiersch, one of the important directors of the second New World Pictures era, helming CHILDREN OF THE CORN to TUFF TURF, and lastly, UNDER THE BOARDWALK. This is really a 2-part interview, with this being the second half, but, since we're releasing it first, so it's actually Part 1. Trust us, it will all make sense.
In this part of the interview (Part 1), we discuss UNDER THE BOARDWALK and a non-New World film Kiersch directed prior, 1987's WINNERS TAKE ALL, including why Kiersch chose UNDER THE BOARDWALK for the third film in his 3-picture deal with the studio and why WINNERS TAKE ALL isn't a New World movie (when it really feels like one).
