And that is how we kick of Season 4 of Back to the Pictures? Join Ian, Anthon and Ben once again for more side-splitting, knit-picking, bollocks-calling shenanigans as the boys from P2, Oxford Court recall some of their bestest and some of their lamest movie adventures. And why not start with the movie that divided a generation. Actually, at the time, there wasn't much of a division - it was panned. But nowadays, the kids of, well round about the BTTP crews age, have reevaluated the first prequel in George Lucas's seminal space-opera series. And this one is a doozy. Trust the force and download this season premiere episode today!

Unfortunately, still no one can be told what this Back to the Pictures review on 1999's the Matrix is. You still have to hear it for yourself.

In the penultimate review of Season 3, our trusted trio delight in disagreement as a relic of Ben's film student days rears its beautiful or ugly head, depending on who you ask! Sofia Coppola's understated, cinematic love letter to Tokyo, Lost In Translation (2003) is in the firing line this time round. And the boys have a jovial time dissecting the nuances between loving a film where hardly anything happens and loathing a film where hardly anything happens. The debate ebbs and flows from respecting the lesser plot and more on experiencing life. Why the exploration of theme is more fitting than the desire for revelation. Is the movie irresistible and the characters empathetic or is it irredeemable and the characters pathetic? Find out what's hot and what's not about LIT on another episode of Back to the Pictures...and remember, for relaxing times...make it Suntory times.

Mellow Greetings Fellow Citizens! Enhance your calm and be well...by downloading and enjoying our review of DEMOLITION MAN - the 1993 dystopian sci-fi action movie. Our first go around with the iconic Wesley Snipes & Sly Stallone! Join us as we dust off the three seashells, turn up the wall-to-wall mini-tunes, and devour those oh-so-sumptuous rat burgers. In this episode we dig deep into the cryo-prison system and it's bizarre theories on rehabilitation and parole. And we dig deeper still into the Scraps, the Cocteau Plan, alternative titles for the movie and speculate as to who else might be on ice during this time period...

A touchstone of the despicable, deplorable and degeneration of the time the BTTP crew grew up in. Is South Park the last bastion of equal opportunities offending left in this burnt out burgh we call society? Or is it a relic of a decayed era, now a stain on our more refined culture? Or is it a bit of both? We dive into 1999's South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut to pose these questions and so much more. And to rub Saddam's nipples while he tortures a familiar, muffle-voiced little piggy...

This time round, the Back to the Pictures lot focus on James Bond's return to the big screen and his reclaiming of the crown as the go-to in the espionage action genre. This Bond is different. Different then all those that came before him. Listen in as we breakdown what's changed, what's sharper, what's edgier and perhaps what still lingers from the past...this is not your dads James Bond...or is it? Not to mention an absurdly immature focus on THAT torture scene. You don't want to miss this one. Have your martini's at the ready. Just don't ask for them to be shaken or stirred. Because, seriously, does it look like anyone gives a damn?

If you weren't even supposed to be here today, suck it up, download this episode and lose yourself to the banter of Ben, Ian & Anthon joined by special guest Noah Jordan - this movies primary superfan. This week, the guys work their way through Kevin Smith's divisive, but undoubtedly seminal, 1994 indie classic - Clerks. It's a comedy as outrageous as it is incomparable. The first Smith film reviewed on Back to the Pictures (and surely not the last), the opinions are passionate, the banter is plentiful and the final score is heartbreaking. But as a wise man once said, one doesn't want to disturb things just so they can shit comfortably.

It's an ugly planet, a bug planet!

Remember your training and you will make it back alive!

Zegama Beach!

Come on you apes, you wanna live forever?

Medic!

Take a trip down washout lane!

Someone made a big goddamn mistake!

The only good bug is a dead bug!

You trying to be a hero Sgt? Just trying to kill some bugs sir!

Service Guarantees Citizenship.

At least I got to have you.

Everybody fights, no one quits. Welcome to the Roughnecks. Rico's Roughnecks!

Yeah, this is going to be a geek fest of an episode. Monster Bugs. Space Travel. Sci Fi Weapons. Psychics. Love triangles. Defying Gravity. Fascist rhetoric propaganda. It's all here. What more could you want from a review of 1997's Starship Troopers?

Would you like to know more?

Join us for another showdown with Ben, Ian and Anthon and a genre rarely dipped into on Back to the Pictures. With only Hitch & The Girl Next Door for company, this time round, the romcom arena gladly receives 10 Things I Hate About You. Yes, the 1999 teen classic straight from the reimagining of Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew. This episode, BTTP Alumnus, Heath Ledger returns and is lauded upon (as necessary) and timeless Larry Miller is shown the proper respect as well. In fact, this film is chock full of BTTP alumni including JGL & David Krumholtz. The latter, of which, plays the terrifying genius, Michael, to much aplomb. Other questions answered include, has Bianca always been this selfish? And if so, why? How much did it really cost to have Letters for Cleo up the top of the building for that final iconic shot? And most importantly, did Nigel actually come through with the Brie??!
