Back to the Film!
Each week the Back to the Film lads sit down to chat about a different film. Back to the Film is hosted by Adam, Rob, Blue, Oliver, Alex and Andy. In each episode we discuss a movie and each give our take on the good and bad points. We all have very different tastes in films and what makes a good movie often leading to tenuously related topics being covered. Basically it's a light hearted look at different movies during which the hosts often have to be reminded to go Back to the Film! Sign up and tune in each week to get our light hearted and often chaotic look into different films.

This week we take a look at two classic films to judge if the stand the test of time. The Wild Geese 1978 is based on a novel of the same name by Daniel Carney. It's a British war movie and reflects the tone of the times. Starring Richard Burton, Roger Moore, Richard Harris and a host of other familiar actors it follows a group of mercenaries as they attempt to free a political prisoner.
Papillon 1973 stars Steve McQueen and Dustin Hoffman and is based on the memoirs of the same name by Henri Charriere. It follows the experiences of Papillon as he attempts to escape the brutal condition of the French Guiana prison he's been wrongfully sent to.
