<p dir="ltr">The title of writer-director BenDavid Grabinski’s comedy caper <em>Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice</em> is a mouthful, but it’s no accident. The film stars Vince Vaughn, James Marsden, and Eiza González as a trio trying to survive the most dangerous night of their lives. Grabinski says he wanted aspects of his movie to harken back to films such as 1976’s <em>Mikey and Nicky</em> and the 1969 comedy <em>Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice</em>. Grabinski tells Elvis how these films inspired him, his unusual music choices for <em>Mike & Nick</em>, and why he’s dying for the Coen brothers to direct a horror movie.</p>
