S04E05 - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990)
09/03/2026 | 1h 49 mins.
Rarely does a movie come along that encapsulates the BTTP's 30-somethings sensibilities. Here, this episode, Ben, Ian and Anthon are faced with the ultimate franchise from their childhood and beyond. What do they make of the bodacious, tubular and spectacular looking animatronic Ninja (sorry, Hero) Turtles from the 1990 independent Comic Book-Superhero-action movie that would have defined their movie-watching habits in the early 90s. And what on earth do they make of a horrific, unprecedented crime spree of teenagers (with head stockings) stealing TV's from OAP's? This shit is dark. And this time round, can even Master Splinters sage advice and wisdom stop this once beloved childhood classic from falling down against the times? Cowabunga!
S04E04 - The Green Mile (1999)
23/02/2026 | 2h 15 mins.
It's a long walk, the Green Mile. Yes, it is. But in a change of pace from recent outings, this go around sees the BTTP lot inducted into a story of compelling narratives, profound themes and complex characters - not to mention a balls-to-the-wall performance by the late MCD! This is all true. But, fuck, this movie is long! This episode, Ben, Ian and Anthon refrain from throwing too much shade at this flick, because as we soon learn, some people are afraid of the dark.
S04E03 - Blade (1998)
09/02/2026 | 2h 10 mins.
You want to remember something a certain way, but that memory can only preserve as long as you do not revisit it. In 2025, the BTTP fellas are at it again - rewatching a long-time favourite Vampire-Superhero-Action-Horror flick, Blade (1998). It's going to be a tough one.
This episode, Anthon, Ian and Ben prepare to enter the Temple of Eternal Night and attempt to figure out the art of applying sun cream to stop yourself bursting into flames, assaulting uniformed police officers in broad daylight (with swords strapped to ones back) with no repercussions. Along the way, they are tested by the nebulous bromance between Frost and La Magra, the wildly tacked on inclusion of Oedipus themes and more! The answers may upset long term fans of the Day Walker! You have been warned.
Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace (Part 2)
19/01/2026 | 1h 55 mins.
A short time ago, in a recording studio far far overpriced...
Join Ian, Anthon and Ben once again for more side-splitting, knit-picking, bollocks-calling shenanigans as the boys from P2, Oxford Court recall some of their bestest and some of their lamest movie adventures. And why not start with the movie that divided a generation. Actually, at the time, there wasn't much of a division - it was panned. But nowadays, the kids of, well round about the BTTP crews age, have reevaluated the first prequel in George Lucas's seminal space-opera series. And this one is a doozy. Trust the force and download the 2nd and final part of their Star Wars Ep 1 review!
Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace (Part 1)
05/01/2026 | 1h 56 mins.
What is the story here?
The planet Naboo is under an attack...
Why? It's political.
How? It's macro economics.
Who? Essentially, Amazon in Space
When? A long, long time ago
Where? a Galaxy Far, Far Away
And that is how we kick of Season 4 of Back to the Pictures? Join Ian, Anthon and Ben once again for more side-splitting, knit-picking, bollocks-calling shenanigans as the boys from P2, Oxford Court recall some of their bestest and some of their lamest movie adventures. And why not start with the movie that divided a generation. Actually, at the time, there wasn't much of a division - it was panned.

About Back to the Pictures

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!
