Following (1998) / Nolan Nostalgia #1

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, exploring its clever storytelling and what it meant for Nolan to step behind the camera for the first time. We've got some killer suggestions for a double-feature movie night to pair up with 'Following,' including indie gems like 'Stranger Than Paradise,' 'El Mariachi,' and 'The Crying Game.' Trust us, it's gonna be a vibe. So grab your favorite movie snack and settle in—it's gonna be a cinematic journey you won't wanna miss!

Preserving Our Civilization One MOVIE At A Time

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.
