Slasher and Another Life creator Aaron Martin steps up for Arthur Hiller's The Out-of-Towners, the Neil Simon-scripted comedy starring Jack Lemmon and Sandy Dennis as a nice couple from Ohio whose trip to New York City becomes a cascade of disasters. Your genial host Norm Wilner knows better than to fly into JFK after noon.
Writer and producer Aaron Martin -- creator of the inventive horror series Slasher, now in its fourth season, and the delirious sci-fi series Another Life, which just dropped its second season on Netflix last week -- would like you to consider the similarly chaotic joys of The Out-of-Towners, the Neil Simon-scripted, Arthur Hiller-directed 1970 comedy starring Jack Lemmon and Sandy Dennis as a nice couple from Ohio whose plans to hit New York City for a night out and an important morning meeting are met with a maelstrom of delays, diversions and disasters designed to test the limits of their patience, their character and possibly even their immune systems. Your genial host Norm Wilner knows better than to fly into JFK after noon.
