Summary

WARNING: Make sure to watch SKYLINES before listening to this track. The SKYLINES (2020) Blu-ray was supposed to include a feature-length commentary track with Writer/Director Liam O'Donnell, but due to miscommunication, it never made it onto the disc, and the world never got a chance to hear how the mega ambitious DTV sci-fi action romp came to be. Until now. The Important Cinema Club is proud to present a commentary track for SKYLINES hosted by Writer/Director Liam O'Donnell. Get the film cued up to synch, start this episode, and hit play after the countdown.

A few months ago, me and Liam O'Donnell, the writer-director of Beyond Skyline,

did a commentary track for that film to celebrate the release of the third film in the series, Skylines.

0:20.1

You can now find it on Netflix, and I am happy to present to you a commentary track with the writer-director, Liam O'Donald, for Skylines. Now, I am not included on this track because it was recorded for the Blu-ray release of the film, but it did not end up making it on the disc. So here you can listen to

And hit play in three, two, one, play.

Hello, I am writer, director, producer of Skyline's Liam O'Donnell.

1:37.8

And Anthony's new movie Come True had come out and I remembered that he was excellent at this

1:43.3

and it became a really

1:44.1

cool late addition to the movie Sonically. So there's definitely, I've always wanted to do

1:51.5

an opening narration, something like this. That was one of my favorite movies. I think you
