Front Row Flashbacks

Front Row Flashbacks needs to throw out some teenage rebellion through the art of sexy dance. Join us we dig into Dirty Dancing and why this movie is more than a chick flick about dancing, and why Baby is a far more heroic character than a quick movie rundown may suggest.

Join us as we dig into an adventure with sword fighting, adventure, fire swamps, giants, miracle men, and true love with The Princess Bride, which turns 35 years old this year. This movie manages to walk a fine line between cheese and satire to create a timeless fantasy yarn. Give the episode a listen to learn why Westley and Buttercup’s love is one for the ages, why Inigo’s mission to avenge his father is inspiring, and why we just can’t get enough of Andre the Giant’s Fezzik!

Join us as we flashback 40 years to arguably the greatest werewolf movie ever made, An American Werewolf in London. David and his pal Jack did not heed the warning given on the Moors and one was left viciously mauled and the other transformed into a hound of hell. Along the way we find great humor, fast love, and the ever-looming threat of David’s new animalistic urges. London will never be the same.

We were lucky enough to have Riley, friend of the pod and lycanthropic expert as well as director David Weiner, who not only directed the fantastic In Search of Darkness Parts I & II documentaries, but also brought the cast of this werewolf classic on its 35th Anniversary. Give a listen as we discuss why there is so much more to this movie beyond the greatest werewolf transformation scene ever put on the big screen.

Join us as we flashback 40 years to the original blood and guts tale of The Evil Dead. Five twenty somethings take a minimalist vacation at a sketchy cabin in the woods that their friend got a heck of a deal on. After playing a recording from a tape player in the cabin where the ancient tongues of the Necronomicon bring forth an ancient evil and a series of possessions, we are left with scream king Ash Williams trying to survive the night. Can he make it through the night or will he become one of The Evil Dead?

We were lucky enough to have Steve Villeneuve and Martin Bruyère, creators of “Hail to the Deadites”, a documentary on Evil Dead fandom and an exploration the classic franchise’s undying and ever-growing popularity. “Hail to the Deadites” can be found on VOD.
