Jonah Hill on the Influences Behind Mid90s | TIFF 2018

We’re less than a week away from the release of Mid90s in theaters across the country. Various screenings have been held over the past several weeks; and we’ve yet to come across a bad review. It’s safe to assume that this is a must-see film for anyone interested in skate culture. If you’re reading this post, you’ll likely be sitting in a theater watching Mid90s at some point in the next couple of weeks. With that in mind, we thought that you might be curious about some of the movies and music that influenced the film. They include This Is England [2006] , Kids [1995], and A Tribe Called Quest. Jonah Hill breaks them down, and explains how authenticity and proper usage are key ingredients in his directorial debut’s formula in this excerpt from his recent interview with TIFF. Mid90s hits theaters on October 19.
