Oct 2, 2019

The Filmlosophers swap roles as Spencer jumps in the driver’s seat to discuss the franchise that redefined time travel films, the Back to the Future Trilogy. The DeLorean Dynamos, joined by friend and longtime listener to the show, Marcus, buckle up and reminisce on the cultural, cinematic and even scientific impact of the films that took the world by storm over three decades ago. We take a deep dive and ask the hard questions: how do the films measure up today? Does the franchise and all its theories about time travel still hold water? Or -much like Professor Hulk pointed out in Avengers: Endgame- has the explanation of it been wrong all along? Tune in to find out what we think in this week’s episode of The Filmlosophers!

In comparison to the first film in the series, First Blood, how does Last Blood measure up?

The guys dissect the work of author David Morrell and his novel adapted into the cinematic work that started a 37 year franchise. The idea of Rambo holds thoughts of guns and explosions (and definitely body counts), but what happens if you take a closer look at the film that started it all? The Dynamic Duo do just that, and dig deep into not only the impact First Blood had in the cinematic world, but even it’s implications about the treatment of Vets in the U.S., even to this day! Tune in to find out how deep we dive in this week’s episode of The Filmlosophers!
