And we're back again! This time around on Season 3 we breakdown the '90s films of Kurt Russell (an action star who is both iconic and yet still , we think, oddly underappreciated.) Kicking off the season Scott and Special Guest Caleb Knutson (check out his YouTube Channel Caleb Watches Movies) look at the 1991 Ron Howard *ahem* "classic" "Backdraft." 

Ok, ok so we admit this movie is daft as a brush, has way too many subplots and a number of characters who have no right to been there. On saying that, do we think this movie is an enjoyable ride? Hell yeah, we do! Listen as Caleb talks about the special place this film has in his heart and Scott talk about how he assumed he had misremembered from his childhood viewings that fire is presented as a sentient villain (because that is silly right?) and his amusement that he had actually remembered that correctly!

Elsewhere in the episode, Caleb and Scott talk about how Donald Sutherland steals the film, how Kurt Russell and William Baldwin actually make really convincing brothers and get into just how wild and woolly the script for this film. Plus, they get into how Ron Howard might be one of the most middle of the road directors in cinematic history, whether or not Scott Glen is actually a vampire and how surprised they were to find out that this movie had a sequel....in 2019!
