Back To Back Films
Everything you never knew, you wanted to know... about movies.
Episodes
We're back for a "post credits" episode! To keep it simple - it's a freeform talk about Joker, Parasite, and a few other things we've watched since the BTB Finale episode. We've been feeling the urge to talk movies and what better way than with our listeners! These episodes won't be released on any consistent basis but you can definitely expect some more content in the future. Thanks for listening!

100 EPISODES!!! WOOHOOO!
To celebrate, we're giving you something brand new. Not one film. Not TWO films. But THREE FILMS! That's right, we chat about three films in this episode. Each film was handpicked for each host by the two other hosts. For Keith, we dove into the perpetual night with the 1998 science fiction film "Dark City". For Byron, we got crafty with the 2009 indie-darling, fantasy film "Ink". For Jacob, we too...
Is Us a racial commentary film like Get Out? We discuss that and more on this week's episode.
We discuss Claire Denis' new film starring Pattinson. Also Spielberg vs Netlflix and the new Batman.
No pitch this week.
We take a look at the recovered Russian propaganda film "I Am Cuba" and the Antonioni film "The Passenger". We discuss how these films revolutionized the long take and theorized about I Am Cuba's influence on Terrance Malick coming out of his hiatus.
As always, we pitch a film at the end of the episode. This week it's films with a long take.
How much character do you actually need in a movie? Why is linear action more interesting? On this episode we discuss vertical action films, which are films where characters are traveling up or down towards a goal. The two films are the totally underrated remake of Dredd and the Indonesian action thriller The Raid.
As always, we pitch a film at the end of the episode. This week it's action films with Linear Action.
We discuss Yorgos Lanthimos' strategies with disruptive characters and the fascinating production histories of these two films. We also get sidetracked and talk about Hitchcock, the Leftovers, and more.
As always we pitch a film at the end of the episode, this week it's films with "Characters that disrupt".
We discuss the bizarre, surreal, and uncanny through the lens of Academy Award Nominee Yorgos Lanthimos and his films. For this episode, it's his critically acclaimed slice of life film Dogtooth and his experimental follow-up Alps.
As always we pitch a film at the end of the episode, this week it's films with "Social Isolated Characters".
Special guest Ian Coleman joins us as we talk about Japanese live action filmmaking.
Jacob is busy moving so Keith and Byron talk about one of their favorite films - The Revenant! This film had a crazy production and we take you through the ins and outs of what it took to get it made. Jacob will be back next week for our coverage of Yorgos Lanthimos!

It's Jacob's birthday! So he gets to pick the films this week. He decided to choose two great films that flew under the radar of audiences, one of which actually picked up a ton of steam and was nominated for an Oscar!
As always, at the end of the show we each pitch a film. This week we're pitching films where Jacob is an integral character to the plot.

89 Happy Hour! Netflix Marketing, Christopher Nolan's Release Date, Rush Hour 4, Child's Play Reboot
Why are people are talking about how handsome Ted Bundy is? Why did Christopher Nolan's new film get a release date when we have no idea what his new film is about? What should we see in Rush Hour 4 and the Child's Play reboot?
Byron isn't here this week! So no PitchFest!

As we draw closer to the end of the year we decided that another color series was in order, one that is not traditionally thought of during this holiday time - Blue. Blue is a strong color with very particular meanings and feelings associated with it. Join us as we discuss them as they pertain to film, how these two films subvert the general usage of blue, and the p...
