This February is “Frame of Reference” month at Catching Up OnCinema!

All month long, Trevor and Kyle will be reviewing films that havefrequently been referenced in recent episodes of the podcast.

Due to a technical snafu, our initial review this month, of BrianHelgeland's, Payback (1999) had to be re-recorded as a solo affair,featuring only Trevor on the mic.

A grim neo-noir crime thriller, Payback (1999) was prolificHollywood writer Brian Helgeland's feature directorial debut.

Apparently a somewhat contentious production, Helgeland wasapparently ousted from the production at some point during filming.

Despite often being criticized for its cruel atmosphere, the filmwould later receive a director's cut, overseen by Helgeland, that isconsiderably shorter than the theatrical cut, though it is up fordebate which version is the superior cut.
