Also,
catch Nick's Film Reviews Saturday mornings at 9:30am.
Nick Digilio began reviewing movies
on the Roy Leonard Show in 1985. He started as "the guy who likes
bad movies" (reviewing "Critters", "Friday the 13th Part 5" and
the like). He studied at Columbia
College and Roy saw him at a few screenings, talked to him and
decided he'd be a good addition to his show. Eventually Nick became
Roy's co-host on his Saturday Morning movie review segment.
Since the late 80s Nick has been a
guy who gave an alternate opinion and sometimes a controversial
view to the films and plays released. Soon, Nick became a staple
on Roy's show and Steve King and Johnnie Putman's show as well
as a guest on several WGN 720 programs. Now he hosts his own show
on Friday, Saturday and Sunday Nights where he talks about pop
culture, current events, hot topics...and of course, reviews the
new films. You can also catch Nick on Steve Cochran's Saturday
Morning Show reviewing all of the new films each week.Nick grew up about five
blocks away from Wrigley Field, he is a die-hard Cubs Fan and
wishes the Cubs would vote Micky Morandini the best Cub ever!
His interests include everything from plays (which he writes,
directs and appears in), to music and books. He now lives in Andersonville.
He is honored to be a part of the WGN family and here are a few
things that he loves:
