Back to the Frame Rate
In the vast realm of film rankings – AFI's 100, Sight & Sound's Greats, 1001 To See Before You Die, IMDB's Top 250, Roger Ebert's Picks, and so on – there's a glaring omission: STAKES! Picture this: an asteroid the size of Texas hurtling toward Earth, a threat even Bruce Willis and his motley crew of oil drillers can't thwart. We're left with a front-row seat to our impending doom. Fear not, fellow film nerds, for we've constructed a fallout shelter, a haven for cinematic survival. Sadly, the space is tight, just enough for us and our cherished 35mm & 70mm film reels. To friends, family, and old acquaintances left in the cinematic dust, our apologies. But fret not, for we vow to emerge when Earth is safe for repopulation. We've preserved the very soul of civilization, ensuring a future where storytelling thrives. Back to the Frame Rate, saving the world one reel at a time! 🎥✨ Hosted by Nathan Suher, Sam Coale, and Briana (Bee) Butterworth. https://www.backtotheframerate.com (www.backtotheframerate.com) https://linktr.ee/backtotheframerate (Visit our Linktree)

Today we discuss Christopher Nolan's first big studio feature 'Insomnia' with the star-studded cast including Al Pacino, Robin Williams, and Hillary Swank. This is a interesting film from him because it's a relatively straight forward cat and mouse detective story...or is it? No matter what your opinion is on 'Insomnia', in comparison to his other films it does have a very different vibe.

Let's take a deep dive into Christopher Nolan's debut flick, 'Following,' as part of our Nolan nostalgia month! We'll be getting into everything from the film's plot twists to its teeny-tiny budget, and how it fits into Nolan's larger body of work, especially now that he's got that shiny Oscar for 'Oppenheimer'! We're gonna break down 'Following' like never before, ex...
We conclude our Epic Romance retrospective series in one of the most celebrated films ever...at least at the Oscars in 1996. It won NINE academy awards, but does it still hold up after all these years? And on a meloncholly note, we say goodbye to our friend Eli who turns in her podcasting keys this week. We will miss Eli dearly and everything she brings to our show!
