Steven Spielberg looms large of Hollywood. The boys have dedicated multiple episodes to him without ever covering one of his movies. But in 2015, Spielberg put out a late career masterpiece, an epic of decency and understanding, and there was no way Nat or Ben was going to miss a chance to throw it some love. Finally a titan get his due as Back to Movies unravels the web of cinematic intrigue that is Bridge of Spies.

What is Crimson Peak? Is it horror? Is it gothic romance? Is it a post-modern exploration of the way genre fiction reinforces regressive gender roles? These are the questions Nat and Ben are dying to answer, if only they could stop poisoning each others tea long enough to do it. If they can survive each other, perhaps they will uncover the mysteries behind this forgotten entry in the filmography of a modern master.

2007 is in the books.

Is there a more essential, more definitive, more impressive 2007 movie than No Country for Old Men? The film is both a  towering return to form for the Coen Brothers after a decade of failures and an statement of their absolute and irremovable place on the Mt. Rushmore of American auteurs. Are Nat and Ben up to the task of discussing such a monumental film? No, but they had a pretty good time giving it a try.

***The episode has been reuploaded! Thanks to everyone who noticed the audio issues.*** Some movies are grim, but Before The Devil Knows You're Dead might be a grimmest. It's a raging diatribe against the rot festering in the human soul and a towering farewell from one of the greatest film directors of all time. It's so ruthlessly, unforgivingly bleak, it might even have been too much for one of our stalwart hosts. You'll have to listen to find out which. New to the podcast - parody songs!

Has an author ever so thoroughly and completely dominated their genre as Stephen King has horror? No one comes close to his ubiquity, his success, and his prestige. It's only natural, then, that his work would serve as the basis of many, many movies. Like, lots of movies. So many movies. 2007 saw two of his less appreciated adaptations, 1408 and The Mist, so Nat and Ben decided to lump them together in one super episode about people being stuck inside and slowly losing their minds. It gets real. Joining them on this expedition is Aaron Ware from the Thrash 'n Treasure podcast.

On this special episode of BttM, we're talking about a recent release: Marvel's "Black Widow". We talk all about the film, including spoilers in the back half, while also discussing the MCU's dominance in the modern box office, newcomers Florence Pugh's scene-stealing performance, and so much more. We'll be back to our regularly scheduled 2007-centric programming in our next episode, but this weekend enjoy the newest Marvel film in all its mainstream glory! 00:00 - Intro 09:42 - Spoiler-free reviews 25:45 - Ben's book report corner 38:15 - Spoiler talk Follow us on Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok Follow Nat and Ben on Letterboxd Email us at bttmpod@gmail.com And please, give us a 5-star review and share the podcast with your movie-loving friends!

Superbad is a generational film. What else am I supposed to put in this description? You know it. I know it. It's Superbad: McLovin', "boop," DTF, Steven Glansberg, and Jimmy's brother--you know the singer. It's Micheal Cera and Jonah Hill, Judd Apatow and Seth Rogen all at the top of their games. And we're talking about it! So just listen already.

The boys are together at last! After over a year of podcasting apart, Nat and Ben finally got to record in the same room. The results were wild, and not just because of the movie they were covering.  Things are a little less formal this week, so just sit back and enjoy this freewheeling discussion about that time Sean Penn made a two and a half hour movie about watching Emile Hirsch slowly die in the wilderness.

Once a season, Nat and Ben like to put aside the movie stars and special effects and IP driven brand management of Hollywood for the weird and wonderful world of documentary. 2007 was a great year for the form, so the boys selected two films that show the true breadth of experiences non-fiction film-making has to offer. First on the docket: Taxi to the Dark Side, a blistering condemnation of the systemic failures inherent in the prosecution of the War on Terror. Second: The King of Kong - A Fistful of Quarters, a plucky stranger-than-fiction look at the rivalry between two of the greatest old school Donkey Kong champions. Between them, they paint an unrivaled portrait of the USA in 2007, our triumphs and our failings, our terrible sins and our charming eccentricities.

The hype factory was running overtime in preparation for the release of 2007's I Am Legend. Will Smith, CGI vampires, an empty NYC -- how could you not be excited? Unfortunately, like many overhyped properties before it, I Am Legend fell short of the vaulted expectations. What went wrong? That's the answer the boys are searching for as they scour the desolate cyber-barrens of post-pandemic podcasting.
