The Backseat

And we're back! Our lives were literally upended by the escalating pandemic situation - we promised to not talk about it but obviously had to! We recount our separate Covid-19 stories and what we've been watching in isolation, as well as reviewing THE PLATFORM (Netflix) and our old favourite 'documentary' CONTAGION. Stay safe, stay home, stay productive!Find us on FB/IG: @backseat_podcast

THE INVISIBLE MAN! What a movie - Leigh Whannell proves he's talented at creating low-budget thrillers that maximise their budgets.  We discuss the (invisible) themes of toxic relationships and mis-use of technology, and have nothing but praise for this modern Hitchcockian masterpiece!Find us on FB/IG: @backseat_podcast

This could've been a disaster, but SONIC THE HEDGEHOG runs in to save the day! An entertainingly simple film, and a masterclass in Social Media Learning - where brands can learn from their fandom and respond to feedback instantly. We discuss how we're seeing a lot of films live or die by this now! We also touch on comparisons to DETECTIVE PIKACHU and break down the script - who knew SONIC had layers!Find us on FB/IG: @backseat_podcast

What a historic moment! Parasite wins Best Original Screenplay, Director, International Feature and Picture and we're still not over it. We dissect what the historic win means, retrospectively review the incredible film and muse on what this year in film looks like - we're banking on a much needed focus on gender parity!Find us on FB/IG: @backseat_podcast

Like the madwoman herself, Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of one Harley Quinn is a wild mess of a film that works in parts, then doesn't. Full of some odd choices that don't always pay off - we've got a lot to unpack in this episode!Find us on IG/FB: @backseat_podcast

We were looking forward to BOMBSHELL and here we deliver our longest dissection of a film yet. It's an uncomfortable film - but for all the right reasons. A timely film, that's ahead of its time. We also unpack Tik Tok, our new obsession (at least for one of us) and how it's changing the game.Find us on IG/FB: @backseat_podcast

We're still crying tbh. This episode, we review LITTLE WOMEN and JOJO RABBIT - two incredible films that could only be made now.Find us on IG/FB: @backseat_podcast

Hmm... we discuss STAR WARS - THE RISE OF SKYWALKER and what it lacks (a lot of things...).Find us on IG/FB: @backseat_podcast

Nothing screams cinema than a lengthy discussion dissecting a film, and PORTRAIT OF A LADY ON FIRE had us screaming. We also touch on the Golden Globe noms and start to wrap up our 2019.Find us on IG/FB: @backseat_podcast

As we head to the end of the year, we've hit blockbuster season! We discuss KNIVES OUT, CHARLIE'S ANGELS and MARRIAGE STORY - and why MARKETING can make or break a film as these films show.Find us on IG/FB: @backseat_podcast
