Ep. 180: Behind Enemy Lines

5/6/2025
Zo, having served in the military, can empathize with people who become disaffected, unmotivated or uninspired with their chosen profession. Such people might have chosen to engage with their career path believing that they might accomplish great things only to be confronted with tedious and seemingly meaningless work. Like a certain Lt. Chris Burnett, a U.S. Naval aviator who has found himself running dull routine missions instead of punching Nazis in the face. Life comes at you fast and, in the case of Lt. Burnett, life is fast enough to shoot down his jet and leave him stranded Behind Enemy Lines. Now life is anything but routine.

Ep. 179: Strange Days

4/28/2025
Zo is at the end of the twentieth century in Las Angeles as it promises to be the grandest place to celebrate the coming of the year 2000. It is a time to be careful as the people are on the edge of rioting and there is a constant police presence. Whole squads of police in riot gear and police helicopters are everywhere. Among all of this carefully controlled chaos is a guy that tried to sell Zo on the idea of using this high tech device to jack someone's real life memories straight into Zo's brain. The salesman, a man named Lenny, drives a hard sell, and his offer is tempting, but Zo is weary and the whole thing feels like a drug deal. Lenny moves on and Zo considers . . .

Ep. 178: Ronin

4/21/2025
Zo is on vacation in Paris, France and expected this visit to at least be peaceful, but he finds that he must duck and cover as though he was in his own neighborhood around the suburbs of DC as gunfire seemingly erupt out of nowhere and he has to dodge cars driving insanely on the narrow and claustrophobic streets of the metropolitan European city. What could be happening? This seems to be more than the run of the mill criminal activity. Could this be some spy stuff? Is spy stuff happening all around him?!?

Ep. 177: Highlander

4/9/2025
Zo is enjoying a day in New York City, but there's an unsettling crime wave going on. It seems that there are police reports of decapitated bodies seemingly showing up in various places in New York and New Jersey. The bodies are often found with their heads nearby and, even more curious, a sword is often found with the body. Who's doing this? Is it a team of criminals or a serial killer? At this time it seems that it's best to avoid anyone in the area carrying a sword. You don't want to loose your head after all.

Ep. 176: The Dark Crystal

4/2/2025
Zo enters a world of magic, rot and decay. This world shouldn't be this way as this magical place was once green and briming with life. In time Zo finds out that a prophecy must be fulfilled in order for this world to be restored to its former glory. A rare being, a Gelfling who is guided by creatures known as the Mystics, is said to be the one to find the Crystal Shard that can be used to heal the world. On his way this Gelfling may find allies, but there are also numerous adversaries in the wilds.

Ep. 175: Crimson Tide

3/24/2025
Zo has a met up with a Navy friend of his who happened to be a submarine officer. Zo's Navy friend was all shook up as there where a lot of things that happened on the sub that had him questioning whether or not he should resign his commission. In the conversation the young officer revealed things that happened that were probably classified top secret. The friend talked about that they almost fired nuclear missiles and almost started a nuclear war and that it was only the intervention of the very cautious XO that prevented the launch. This intervention lead to an argument between the XO and the Captain of the boat, the XO forcefully relieving the Captain of being in command of the boat, and most damning, the mutiny of the crew. Zo asked his friend if the friend sided with the XO or the Captain. The friend didn't want to say, but would only comment that the whole incident felt like the coming of . . . a Crimson Tide. 00:08:08 - Opening Credits for Crimson Tide starring Gene Hackman and Denzel Washington 00:22:50- Favorite Parts of the 1995 film: Crimson Tide 01:07:14 - Trivia from the movie Crimson Tide 01:21:23 - Critics' Thoughts on Tony Scott's Crimson Tide Please leave a comment, suggestion or question on our social media: Back Look Cinema: The Podcast Links: Website: www.backlookcinema.com Email: fanmail@backlookcinema.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@backlookcinema Twitter: https://twitter.com/backlookcinema Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BackLookCinema Instagram: https://instagram.com/backlookcinema Threads: https://www.threads.net/@backlookcinema TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@backlookcinema Twitch https://www.twitch.tv/backlookcinema Blue Sky: https://bsky.app/profile/backlookcinema.bsky.social Mastodon: https://mstdn.party/@backlookcinema Back Look Cinema Merch at Teespring.com Back Look Cinema Merch at Teepublic.com Again, thanks for listening.

Ep. 174: Judgement Night

3/17/2025
Zo was invited by his friends in Chicago to attend a live boxing match. He declined not wanting to deal with the traffic. He later learned that there would've been more than just traffic to deal with. Besides getting stuck in the aforementioned traffic and getting into a fender bender in their borrowed RV trying to get out of that bumper to bumper headache, Zo's friends also got lost in the city taking an unfamiliar route to the stadium, accidently hit a pedestrian with the RV, got the RV banged up and stuck in a narrow alley, witnessed the murder of that same pedestrian by some gangsters, and spent most of their night running for their lives from those psychopathic killers! It seemed like the kind of tribulations that people would have to deal with on Judgement Day.

Ep. 173: Rush Hour

3/10/2025
Zo is in the famed Chinatown area of Los Angeles enjoying the sights, the sounds and, as it turns out, a bunch of commotion. Zo loves a good martial arts bout just like everyone else, but does a kung fu fight have to break out at the Chinese restaurant where he's at trying to enjoy egg fu young? It seems as though a well dressed Chinese man and a tall, lanky, goofy looking African American are in a full-on Hong Kong film fight with a bunch of unruly Chinese gangsters. At some point the tall goofy one, who's been talking non-stop during the fight, screams out "LAPD!," so these are supposed to be the cops? Instead of law and order they're causing an unacceptable amount of chaos smashing dishes, overturning tables and generally upsetting customers. Bumper to bumper traffic and kung fu fights . . . is Rush Hour always like this?

Ep. 171: Saving Private Ryan

2/10/2025
Zo is eager to enjoy a nice day at the beach. He is looking forward to the pristine blue waters of the Atlantic at one of the beautifully maintained French beaches. Unfortunately, fate has twisted this peaceful dream into a Hellish nightmare as he finds himself as a soldier ready to assault the heavily armed and armored beach that's zealously defended by enemy Nazi soldiers. The chances of him surviving this assault is near zero. Men are being made into bloody Swiss cheese even before they're able to exit the landing craft and get onto the beach. There's no cover and the only way to go is forward. Forward into the unforgiving machine gun fire. All around him men scream for their mamas. Forward. Men are cut to pieces right next to him. Forward. It's impossible to see even where the enemy fire is coming from. He feels fear like he's never known.

Ep. 170: Virtuosity

1/28/2025
Zo, while vacationing in Las Angeles, narrowly avoids getting caught up in a hostage situation. There was a club nearby that he thought about checking out, but he skipped it because this dance club didn't have the vibe that he was looking for. Later he saw on the news that the club had been taken over by a crazed lunatic who was forcing people to scream at gunpoint for the sheer pleasure of it. Zo could have been one of those people. There are also conspiracy theories floating around that the crazy man is actually a serial killer computer program set loose on the public in an advanced android body by the government to cull the population. They can't do that can they? Is that technology even feasible? Zo decides that the moral of the story is to stay out of dance clubs. 00:03:33 - Opening Credits for Virtuosity starring Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe 00:12:39- Favorite Parts of the 1995 Film: Virtuosity 00:30:48- Trivia from the Movie Virtuosity 00:37:56 - Critics' Thoughts on Brett Leonard's Virtuosity Please leave a comment, suggestion or question on our social media: Back Look Cinema: The Podcast Links: Website: www.backlookcinema.com Email: fanmail@backlookcinema.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@backlookcinema Twitter: https://twitter.com/backlookcinema Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BackLookCinema Instagram: https://instagram.com/backlookcinema Threads: https://www.threads.net/@backlookcinema TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@backlookcinema Twitch https://www.twitch.tv/backlookcinema Blue Sky: https://bsky.app/profile/backlookcinema.bsky.social Mastodon: https://mstdn.party/@backlookcinema Back Look Cinema Merch at Teespring.com Back Look Cinema Merch at Teepublic.com Again, thanks for listening.

Ep. 169: Mrs. Doubtfire

1/21/2025
Zo is on vacation in San Francisco and notices something peculiar while riding the bus at night. An elderly woman comes on board the bus obviously tired from a long days work. Zo notices that her thigh high stockings had slid down past her knees and the knees on this woman are boney and hairy. In fact, Zo could easily imagine that this was a man in drag, but men don't normally dress in drag as an old woman do they? Could it be that this was a man who's dressed in drag as a disguise to circumvent the divorce court system in order to surreptitiously spend more time with his children? No, that's far too implausible.

Zo finds himself in New York City for the holidays. The crowds of people seem joyful. The air is cool and crisp, and there's a shop nearby proclaiming to have the world's greatest coffee. Also, rather bizarrely, there's a very tall man who seemed to have enough Christmas cheer for the entire city. He seems extraordinarily positive and happy. He's almost literally bouncing between the walls of the skyscrapers and the crowded sidewalks. What's really eye-catching about the fellow, though, is that he's dressed as an Elf . . . straight from Santa's workshop.

Ep. 165: Get Shorty

12/9/2024
Zo got a chance to meet his favorite schlock horror movie producer, Harry Zimm, while visiting Las Angeles. At this chance meeting Zo also met an associate of Mr. Zimm who avoided directly giving out his name or any real personal information. Sure the man seemed really charming and friendly, but in an almost intimidating kind of way. The kind of the way that a king cobra might appear to hypnotize you before it strikes. The man also had the kind of demeanor that seemed familiar. He was confident without being cocky. He was eloquent in his speech, but not necessarily from book learning or advanced schooling. Zimm's friendly stranger also had the kind of smile that Zo only saw . . . on mobsters.
