Summary

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!

And would you be willing to let me post it on the Important Cinema Club podcast?

1:07.4
