S01 E11: The Dark Knight Part II 24.07.2023

This is the podcast you deserve. But not the one you need right now. Wait...that's not right.

S01 E09: X-Men 3: The Last Stand 25.06.2023

This weeks episode of Back to the Pictures sees the guys revist one of their most loathed movie-going memories. It is indeed, 2006's torid X-Men sequel - the Last Stand. Meant to shut out the trilogy in style, this movie is far from fondly remembered. From the blink-and-you'll-miss-it Arch Angel...well...arc, to the interminable dialogue, unfathable plot twists and overall Wolverine overkill - thi...

S01E06: Training Day 08.05.2023

On this Bank Holiday Monday, BACK TO THE PICTURES takes another stab at the crime thriller genre with 2001's Training Day. Ben, Ian and Anthon dive into the seedy world of police corruption, offer listeners insightful anecdotes based on their own run-ins with the law and address that profound question - how the hell did they explain the massive hole they dug in Roger's house?!

S01 E05: The Departed 24.04.2023

In this episode of BACK TO THE PICTURES the guys travel back to 2006 for the unforgetable crime thriller THE DEPARTED. Questions galore - Does Ian know which order the plot happens?

S01E04 Superman Returns 10.04.2023

In this Easter Monday episode of BACK TO THE PICTURES, the P2C's find themselves in a spot of bother. Their task, to re-review one of their less revered movie-going experiences from the summer of 2006. The question of whether Superman Returns still holds up is not the point of this episode - rather, the questions vary from when the hell is this movie even set? What was Lex Luthors plan exactly? Ho...

In the sophomore episode of Back to the Pictures, the gang revisit one of their favourites - Zack Snyder's 2006 Historical (ish) Action film 300! How has this blood-soaked, slow-mo'd, airsprayed, green-screened thrill ride held up? Let's say, opinions vary wildly. However, one thing is agreed upon - where the F did that white horse come from?!?

S01E01: Snatch 27.02.2023

In this pilot episode, Ben, Ian and Anthon dive back into the past to reconsider arguably their most quoted movie of all - Guy Richie's 2000 British Crime Comedy SNATCH! One of the first movies these three ever watched together - find out how their views have changed since 2005 - 2009. What do they make of the stereotypes? Does Bricktop still hold up? What do they think about Brad Pitt's Irish acc...
