As his new film Dakota hits VOD, Tim Rozon (Wynonna Earp, Vagrant Queen, Surreal Estate) brings some serious love for Gus Van Sant's My Own Private Idaho and the incandescent, indelible performance of River Phoenix. Your genial host Norm Wilner is really just an enabler here.
In an episode almost seven years in the making, actor Tim Rozon (Lost Girl, Schitt’s Creek, Wynonna Earp, Vagrant Queen, Surreal Estate and the new family film Dakota) shares his love for My Own Private Idaho, and the incandescent, indelible performance of River Phoenix within Gus Van Sant's masterful 1991 indie drama. Your genial host Norm Wilner is really just an enabler here, but also feels he really underestimated what Keanu Reeves was doing the first time around.
