Hello! Welcome to the latest edition of the exclusive audio commentary podcast hosted by me, David Hughes.

The Blu-ray contains not one but three new audio commentaries, from producer Stephen Woolley, director David Leland and screenwriter Don Macpherson.

For this episode, I’m delighted to welcome one of my favourite film critics, Walter Chaw, author of the new book A Walter Hill Film: Tragedy and Masculinity in the films of Walter Hill, published by MZS Press. Chaw’s insights opened up a whole new perspective for me on Walter Hill’s filmography, and when I decided to open up the Rogue Commentary concept beyond filmmakers, Chaw immediately came to mind. So without further ado, here he is with an exclusive audio commentary for Walter Hill’s Streets of Fire, which you can find here (UK) and here (US).
