About The Show

Hi, my name is Mario Lanza and I have been a movie fan since about 1978. And let me tell you, I have watched a LOT of movies over the years. Both the good, the bad, the obscure, the blockbusters, the TV movies, and the straight-to-video. And this is my podcast dedicated to all the underrated and forgotten and just plain underloved movies out there in the world, Staff Picks. Enjoy the episodes!

Oh, and feel free to email me at staffpickspodcast@gmail.com if there are any movies you'd like to see me feature in an episode in the future. The more obscure and unknown the movie, the better!

Writer and film analyst Darren DeBari joins me to discuss one of my favorite suspense movies of all time, and one that is very special to me, personally, because my dad used to watch it with me. It's 1977's mad bomber movie, Rollercoaster.
