When you spend all day in a studio shooting a YouTube series about drinking, things can run off the rails in a hurry, and carefully managing that chaos is vital if you’re going to make a show like How to Drink, and that’s what Greg & Meredith have done for years. Here at Midnight Local we give into that chaos and let the rails be damned. These are the conversations that make you pause the movie because it just can't wait. Things like how the Hays Code destroyed cinema from 1934 - 1968, why David Lindelof should never be able to hold a pen again, and the fact that Joss Whedon doesn't live up to the morality of his own characters and also has tiny teeth. Midnight Local is a place to get weird about movies and shows and the rest and go beyond the who, what and where.

Dark City, the best film of 1998?
Dark City is a highly critically acclaimed film from 1998, Roger Ebert went as far as to call it the best film of that year. The movie is often compared to the Matrix and remembered fondly by both Greg and Meredith. We aren't so sure that it still holds up but we couldn't stop bringing it up when we discussed The Matrix a few weeks ago and thought it was worth revisiting so we could tell you all about it.

Aliens, this time it's war
We couldn't talk about Alien without talking about it's arguably superior sequel, Aliens. James Cameron redefines the franchise into an action/adventure packed blockbuster where we see our main characters really fight back against the alien threat. The mother/daughter love story Cameron builds between Ripley and Newt adds a layer of humanity to this movie that everyone can connect with.

Alien, is directing a job for jerks?
In this episode we talk about the best space thriller of all time. This is the second Ridley Scott film we have discussed - go back and check out our episode on Blade Runner - so we spend some time talking about other directors who have made their mark and if the position of the director has changed. Also we discuss how Dan O'Bannon creates the most terrifying creatures of all time!

The Matrix, does it hold up?
Is the Matrix as awesome as we thought it was in 1999. There is no question that bullet time made it’s mark on filmmaking but is that the best thing the Matrix left us with? This week we are talking about this and much more.

Paul Reubens, Pee Wee’s Big Adventure
We are talking about Pee Wee Herman’s Big Adventure this week, Tim Burton’s feature debut. We also dive into the miss information surrounding Paul Reubens and how his signature alter ego came to be. This comedian and the world he created will be very missed.

Customer Reviews
Great
Really great insight from both of them. I love this podcast
Often insufferable
To start, Meredith is great. No notes.
But H2D Greg and Midnight Local Greg are, seemingly, two very different people, and the latter regularly comes across as a profoundly arrogant person who is unable (or merely unwilling?) to exercise empathy. Weird and offputting.
Perfection in unimPortant Podding
I was really glad to hear that Greg and Meredith were making this supplemental content in addition to the How to Drink channel — if ever you had sought the brilliant and sophomoric banter of these two goons sans the clickbait necessitated by YouTube’s algorithm, look no further than Midnight Local!
