Cinematic Flashback is a podcast dedicated to the unforgettable films of the 1970s.

From gritty crime thrillers and paranoid conspiracy films to science fiction, road movies, and New Hollywood classics, each episode explores what made these films memorable then — and whether they still groove through the decades today.
Featuring behind-the-scenes stories, production history, box office context, filmmaking trivia, thoughtful discussion, humor, and full spoiler conversations, Cinematic Flashback celebrates the directors, performances, and creative risks that defined 70s cinema.
Whether discussing films like Jaws, The French Connection, The Sting, and Deliverance or rediscovering hidden gems like Scarecrow, Charley Varrick, and THX 1138, Chuck and Matt invite listeners to hop into the Wayback Machine and revisit the wild, bold, and unforgettable world of 1970s film.
