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)

Welcome to MAD MAY! We will be watching every film in the Mad Max franchise. Of course we take it back to where it all started with the 1979 original. This film may have a low budget, but it's still one of the most gritty adrenaline-fueled films ever put on celluloid.

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.

We conclude our Epic Romance retrospective series in one of the most celebrated films ever...at least at the Oscars in 1996.

We will miss Eli dearly and everything she brings to our show!
