Back To Back Films

HIYA! Join us this week as we talk Asian cinema! We cut our way into the Wuxia film Hero and shoot up the place with Hard Boiled. We cover the influence of Asian cinema, the history, and we try to pronounce "wuxia." And find out which film we liked best!

Happy birthday Byron! For his birthday we are talking two films with Byron's (or Brian's) name in them. The first is a Monty Python classic and the other is an exceptionally well done short film. We talk about the legacy of Life of Brian and why it is so popular, fun facts about the movie, and the behind the scenes of Goutte d'Or. Thanks for listening!

Black and white! That's what we're all about this week. We're talking black and white rereleases of different films. What is going on? Why did they do this? Does it work? And did it change our opinions about the movies? Find out!

Join us as we wrap up our Masterclass featuring Rian Johnson. We discuss why Johnson may have been chosen to helm Episode VIII, the world of Looper, and we see if Looper or Last Jedi was more liked!

We're trying a new format out in this episode to see if we can bring the length of the episodes down. Instead of talking about the behind the scenes facts of the film we focus on topic-based discussion and the things we learned about movie making from Johnson's films. Let us know what you think!

Masterclass number 2! Join us as we dig into Rian Johnson's first two films in lead up to The Last Jedi! Known for his genre films, Johnson came onto the scene strong with Brick, following up with the comedy, caper Brothers Bloom. Join us as we talk Easter eggs, film facts, and shoes!

IT'S KEITH’S BIRTHDAY! Therefore we're discussing movies with "Keith" or "Kevin" in the title. We also talk about whether or not a character needs to be complex in order to be good. We give our thoughts and opinions on 90’s revival cinema and what makes a scene feel stocky. And we debate over whether Kevin's character is a master manipulator or just a little sh*t.

Back to Back is back with "Backbackman". In this episode we dive into the reinvention of superheroes: Is it due to the September 11th terrorist attack or due to technological advancements in VFX? Our guest, Robert Speewack Bojorquez, talks about where superhero films are going next. We also discuss how the Iraq War may or may not be influencing the success of Marvel and the failures of DC. And we also talk about those new Regal short films made by AFI students.

This episode is actually a re-recording. We had a number of technical difficulties with the original episode. Instead of rolling through the traditional show beats, we felt it best to just do an open discussion. Sorry about that, but we think you'll enjoy this too! Thanks for listening.

Happy Thrillsgiving! Join us on this special episode where we essentially talk about whatever we want while stumbling our way to this week's films. Learn where we sit in a theater and why, who the "Killer" in Home Sweet Home actually is, and who has the best suits in all of film! We round things off with some reviews of each movie. This one is short and sweet, perfect for Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving! We're thankful for every listener we have!

Welcome to the Life of B-Ryon! That's right, Byron chose the films this week and topic we cover. Join us on a journey of self-discovery as we tackle the thrilling Nocturnal Animals and the oddly amusing Perfume! The big debate this week: is narration good or bad?

Get spooky on this week's episode! Explore why horror makes so much f%@$ing money. We also discuss what makes horror so different and Byron surprises us all with his opinions!
