Falling Down is a film that is a social commentary on the plight of the thrown away man. I recommend this film because it is still relevant.

This one wraps up the trilogy! Which one did you like the most?

Stranded in 1955, Marty McFly learns about the death of Doc Brown in 1885 and must travel back in time to save him. With no fuel readily available for the DeLorean, the two must figure how to escape the Old West before Emmett is murdered. Filmmaker Commentary is Hosted by Reginald Titus Jr.

Back to the Future part II! Another solid addition to the franchise.

Stay locked in as we drop back to back episodes for the next couple of days.

After visiting 2015, Marty McFly must repeat his visit to 1955 to prevent disastrous changes to 1985...without interfering with his first trip. This is probably one of the most iconic movies in American History.

BACK! in September we recorded episodes covering Robert Zemeckis's movies. Well a few of them.

Happy Black Friday!

We are covering Back to the Future!

This film is in my top 10 of all time for many reasons.

Marty McFly, a 17-year-old high school student, is accidentally sent 30 years into the past in a time-traveling DeLorean invented by his close friend, the maverick scientist Doc Brown.

The classic. It's here. Does it age well? You decide. Reservoir Dogs written and Directed by Quentin Tarantino is a bloody classic.

Filmmaker Commentary

Another solid film by the incomparable Quentin Tarantino. When I first saw "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" I wasn't sure what to think but after watching it again...It's pretty close to being his best film yet.

Jackie Brown! Written and Directed by Quentin Tarantino is definitely a good film that is looked over sometimes. It’s one of my (Reginald) top films from Quentin, maybe not top 2 but top 5 for sure. It was a joy to go back and enjoy this film and soundtrack. The music is hitting hard!
