Happy November! Let's kick off the month right with the one and only Neil Burger. His new film, The Marsh King's Daughter is out this Friday, November 3rd. But we are also talking about this week's Overdue Rental, his 2011 sleeper hit, Limitless. The Bradley Cooper/Robert DeNiro thriller was such a smash hit when it hit theaters and though it spawned a TV show of the same name, not enough people are talking about the film nowadays. Let's fix that!

Dennis Haysbert is someone everyone is familiar with, even if they don't know it. Maybe you know him as Pedro Cerrano from Major League. Maybe you're a 24 fan and know him as President David Palmer. Or maybe you just know him as The Allstate insurance man. The fact of the matter is, the man has had one hell of a storied career and is so much more than the roles people may associate him with. He can currently be seen as Clarence C. Baker in the Hulu/Disney+ picture, Flamin' Hot. The film...

You couldn't turn a corner at the time of its release without hearing the buzz around the movie, whether is was for or against it. We had the opportunity to revisit the film with...
