S03E09: Lost in Translation (2003)
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.

S03E08: Demolition Man (1993)
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...

S03E07: South Park Bigger, Longer & Uncut (1999)
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...
Welcome to this fortnightly podcast hosted by Ben Rose, Ian Green and Anthon Ogundimu, three former university roommates - reviewing movies like you've never heard before.This trio of student-loan, debt-ridden 30-somethings pledge to re-watch and re-evaluate the movies they once viewed together (usually over a Pot Noodle) during their student days. Follow them, as they discover whether their once treasured flicks still hold up against the standards of cynical life-experience and evolving tastes.Each episode, they travel BACK TO THE PICTURES, screening a movie first viewed during 2005-2009. Moreover, each week the audience are serenaded with film trivia, plot breakdowns and excruciating knit-picking guided by impossible standards. Discussions are glued together with fond memories, private jokes and aimless banter.From Ian's shoutouts to classic film characters such as 'Sausage Charlie' to his shrewd observation of supermarket trolly quantum mechanics, to Anthon's nigh eidetic attention to detail and Ben's nihilistic approach to filmic discourse, this podcast is a shout-out to the duped generation - Viva La Higher Education Act 2004!
