The Rock (1996) | Ep. 137
The Rock is on the rock! John, Westy, and Matt break down Michael Bay's 1996 action classic — Connery's swagger, Cage's chemistry quirks, Ed Harris's tortured general, and how a script nobody could crack became one of the 90s' loudest, glossiest, most quotable blockbusters.

Almost Famous (2000) | Ep. 136
It's all happening. Luke, Matt and Westy hit the road with Stillwater to tell the story behind Cameron Crowe's Almost Famous, his 1973-set love letter to rock and roll and arguably the greatest movie soundtrack ever made. We get into the decade-long script, the Brad Pitt casting saga, how Led Zeppelin cleared their music, and being a golden God. Big opinions and bigger laughs as we board the bus for one of the most beloved films of the 21st century.Telling the story of Hollywood one film at a time.Connect with ATRM: To support what we do, access our archive and listen to exclusive episodes, become an ATRM patron:Listen on Patreon Listen on Apple PodcastsListen on SpotifyListen on YouTube
Psycho (1960) | Ep. 135
Mother's not quite herself today… but we are. John, Matt, and Westy check into the Bates Motel to tell the story of Hitchcock's 1960 masterpiece — the film that reinvented horror, traumatised a generation of shower-takers, and proved you really can kill your leading lady 47 minutes in. Expect chocolate syrup, screeching violins, and a Master of Suspense mortgaging his house to make it happen. Big opinions, big laughs, and one very unfortunate private investigator.Telling the story of Hollywood one film at a time.Connect with ATRM: To support what we do, access our archive and listen to exclusive episodes, become an ATRM patron:Listen on Patreon Listen on Apple PodcastsListen on SpotifyListen on YouTube
Young Frankenstein (1974) | Ep. 134
Luke, Westy and Matt give their creation life as we tell the story behind Mel Brooks and Gene Wilder's parody of the Universal monster movies, making one of the funniest films ever made in the process. We get into why playing it dead straight is the secret, how Gene Hackman begged to play the blind hermit for free, John Morris's heart-breaking score, and the moving hump nobody saw coming. What hump?

Back to the Future Part II (1989) | Ep. 133
The future is now — and John, Westy, and Matt are here to tell you exactly how Robert Zemeckis built it. We go deep on the production of one of the most ambitious sequels Hollywood attempted: hoverboards, self-lacing Nikes, and a plot that required filming the past, present, and future simultaneously. (Doc would be proud.)From the decision to make Parts II and III back-to-back, to the technical wizardry behind Hill Valley 2015, to the extraordinary challenge of recasting a central role mid-franchise — this is the full behind-the-scenes story, with analysis and huge opinions as we go.Telling the story of Hollywood, one film at a time.Connect with ATRM: To join our fantastic community of film fans, support what we do, access our archive, listen to exclusive episodes, and a whole lot more, become an ATRM patron:Join the ATRM Community ATRM Merchandise: Grab official ATRM merch from our online store.
