Tim Basaraba – I’ve always been indifferent to Zach Braff. I’ve never seen his films Garden State (2004) or Wish I Was Here (2014), nor have I watched a single episode of Scrubs (2004-2009).

Tim Basaraba – What can’t Channing Tatum do? He can act. He can dance. And, yes, the man can SING. Can he also direct a feature length motion picture? The answer is yes, but with a little help from fellow first-time-director Reid Carolin, the dude who wrote Magic Mike and Magic Mike XXL.
Tim Basaraba – How much of a good thing eventually makes a good thing not so good? John Wick: Chapter 4 answers this question for filmgoers.
