Episode 4: Reel Connections (All Four) & Did We Dig 'The Warriors?

Welcome to The Backlot! 🎬Join us to chat all things film and play some games along the way! 🍿On this week’s episode, we have another fiercely competitive game of Reel Connections — as we link from Jessica Alba to Adam Sandler, Leonardo DiCaprio to Angelina Jolie, Tom Hanks to Jennifer Lawrence, and Jamie Foxx to Jeff Goldblum.Plus, for this week’s Backlot Film Club we dive into The Warriors - did we dig it? We get into its gritty, stylized take on New York, its iconic gang imagery, and the raw, chaotic energy that’s helped it stick around as a cult favorite. But it’s not all praise - we also talk through some of the film’s rougher edges, including its dated and sometimes questionable portrayals, along with performances that don’t always land the way they should. Still, we unpack why, flaws and all, it remains such a distinctive and talked-about piece of cinema.Games, deep dives, and plenty of film chat — all in one place.Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more episodes of The Backlot00:00 Intro & Catch Up03:26 Reel Connections: Round 1 (Jessica Alba to Adam Sandler)07:32 Reel Connections: Round 2 (Leonardo DiCaprio to Angelina Jolie)11:09 Reel Connections: Round 3 (Jennifer Lawrence to Tom Hanks)16:18 The Long Link: Jamie Foxx to Jeff Goldblum27:42 Backlot Film Club: The Warriors (1979) Review39:13 Next Episode's Film Reveal: Jackie Brown40:05 Outro & Wrap Up
