Episode 133 - Dallas Buyers Club - 10th Anniversary

The Back To The Blockbuster teams is celebrating the 10th anniversary of Dallas Buyers Club, the film that details the real life story of Ron Woodroof, a cowboy diagnosed with AIDS in the mid-1980s, a time when both etiology and the treatment of HIV/AIDS are poorly understood and its sufferers subject to stigmatization. Written by Craig Borten and Melisa Wallack and directed by Jean-Marc Valle, the story continues with Woodroff smuggling unapproved pharmaceutical drugs into Texas to treat his symptoms. Here, he distributes them to fellow people with AIDS by establishing the “Dallas Buyers Club”, all the while facing opposition from the FDA. The film stars Matthew McConaughey, Jared Leto, and Jennifer Garner. In addition to the 10 year anniversary of this acclaimed film, the team also breaks down trailers for Anyone But You, Madame Web, and Imaginary, while also discussing the news about a new Bourne being the works from director Edward Berger and Nicholas Hoult being cast as Lex Luthor in Superman: Legacy. The duo also talks box office and gives their predictions for Ridley Scott’s Napoleon.
