This February is “Frame of Reference” month at Catching Up On

Cinema!

All month long, Trevor and Kyle will be reviewing films that have

frequently been referenced in recent episodes of the podcast.

Due to a technical snafu, our initial review this month, of Brian

Helgeland's, Payback (1999) had to be re-recorded as a solo affair,
featuring only Trevor on the mic.

A grim neo-noir crime thriller, Payback (1999) was prolific

Hollywood writer Brian Helgeland's feature directorial debut.

Apparently a somewhat contentious production, Helgeland was

apparently ousted from the production at some point during filming.

Despite often being criticized for its cruel atmosphere, the film

would later receive a director's cut, overseen by Helgeland, that is
considerably shorter than the theatrical cut, though it is up for
debate which version is the superior cut.
