Welcome to Back To The Review-ture - the show in which we take a classic movie that one, or both, of us might not have seen before and take a look at it now! In each episode, your hosts Drew Bridger and Amber Insch will take a close look at a different ”classic” movie, it’s tropes, it’s highs and lows, maybe even poke some fun at it, but ultimately decide if it is still worthy to be called a classic. Follow #BTTRPod for more updates and to send us your thoughts!
