Put more respect on John Cusack’s name! I love Cusack; look at the guys flicks - he’s an underrated talent!
Diving into the watchlist this week; I went to see the new Darren Aronofsky film “Caught Stealing” which I thoroughly enjoyed. I would like Austin Butler to just be hot or good at acting - you can’t have both man!
The film world lost icon Robert Redford which made me have a look at his filmography, the latest news around film releases and this week’s “Want to Feel Old?” is Goldeneye turning 30.

#25 Splitsville Review Pod
Thanks for stopping by The Backlot! This week I am diving into quite possibly my favourite movie of the year so far in “Splitsville” starring Kyle Marvin, Dakota Johnson and Adria Arjona.
Directed by Michael Angelo Covino; this absurd relationship comedy had so many highlights and honestly shocked me with how much I loved it!
It’s out in cinemas on September 11th - I have five double passes to give away so get around it!
