The 2023 Movie Forecast / Directorial Debuts

Welcome to our very first episode of BACK TO THE FRAME RATE. Nathan, Eli, and Sam introduce themselves and give you a very brief bit of their background working in the film industry and how they decided to launch this podcast. They follow up with a discussion about the upcoming slate of films scheduled for release in 2023, with each tossing out their most anticipated selections. After they discuss the recently announced Oscar Nominations. Are the Oscars the measuring stick for quality cinema? Is Michelle Yeoh a lock to win Best Actress this year? Why hasn't Sam watched Everything Everywhere All At Once Yet? Nathan thought Bohemian Rhapsody won Best Picture in 1999 (maybe this was just a case of the Mandela Effect). Should we have our podcasting license immediatly revoked? You the listener can decide.

About the Podcast

Back to the Frame Rate
Preserving Our Civilization One MOVIE At A Time
Back to the Frame Rate is a movie discussion podcast where filmmakers, actors, and passionate wannabes come together to celebrate the art of cinema. From beloved popcorn flicks of the '80s, '90s and today, to timeless classics and arthouse gems we cover it all. But we’re not just here to talk movies — we’re here to save them!

In a world facing imminent asteroid-induced doom (think Armageddon without the happy ending), we’ve built a fallout shelter for the greatest films of all time. With only enough space for a carefully curated vault of 35mm and 70mm reels, the stakes couldn’t be higher. We comb through the likes of AFI’s 100, Sight & Sound’s Greats, and IMDB’s Top 250 to decide which films are worthy of saving — and which will be purged forever.

Join hosts Nathan Suher, Sam Coale, and Briana (Bee) Butterworth as they passionately debate cinema’s survival, ensuring the future of storytelling one reel at a time. Sadly, the space is tight, just enough for us and our cherished 35mm and 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.
