He talks about working with the actors and how Vancouver(where the episode was filmed) doesn't look like New York and L.A. Very funny.

It's a decent track. John is one of the best for commentaries, but he's usually at his best with the leading man/woman talking back and forth. Unfortunately neither Udo Keir nor Norman Reidus is with him. Alone he goes over the movie, adds some insight, but in parts it lacks the entertaining fun vibe that comes with a lot of his tracks.
Commentary 2: Screenwriters Drew McWeeny and Scott Swan Rating:5.5/10 (4 votes) [graph]Login to vote or review

I actually meant to listen to the JC commentary but ended up hearing this one instead.
And what a good commentary it was. For the full hour they chat (in the same room) and you can just tell how happy they were to have this as their first film/tv project. Obviously because they were the writers, the tales we hear are more in line with the plot and the changes it went through and what it was like working with the cast and crew.
This is a recommended chat track and if the rest of the Masters of Horror are as good as this. Then it looks for an entertaining set of audio tracks.

They re-say all the stuff John Carpenter says with a few bits of new info.

Decent track, slightly better than Carpenter's if only because they have each other to bounce stuff off of. Take a more writer-centric view in their description, and describe what they thought of the adaptation of their script
