| Dir: Michael Philippou, Danny Philippou Folks from Flicks don’t often spend precious interview time advocating for other movie apps, but that’s exactly where I find myself when talking to Danny and Michael Philippou. Our interview’s barely begun when I ask the filmmaking twins behind recent horror smash Talk to Me (and before that, the hit YouTube channel RackaRacka) about a very different app to Flicks.
