Film chosen and introduced by Devlin "Victims...aren't we all." I probably watched The Crow in around 1995 for the first time. But it was probably a few years after this that I donned my dad's old leather duster that he had heretofore never mentioned owning, cut some bullet holes in a long-sleeve black top that...

Film chosen and introduced by Matt When did you first hear the words “Quentin” and “Tarantino?" The Tarantino explosion of ’96/’97 (for me anyway - most older people were aware of him much sooner, but I was only ten when Reservoir Dogs came out, so give me a break) was a multiple film initiation, as...

Introduced by Devlin Putting together today's cover image encapsulated a bit of a general problem when it comes to discussing a film like Romper Stomper: does it glamorise or even romanticise the character, and by extension the subject matter, of the film to portray him in a way that, well, makes him look cool? The... Continue Reading →
Introduced by Devlin Sir Mick Jagger, in an inexplicably large helmet, looks directly down the barrel of the lens right as it crash zooms in on his face, his trademark pout at its very poutiest: When our good friend Aidan, with whom we had been trying to coordinate to join us on the podcast for...

Introduced by MattJames Cameron’s action-packed, balls-to-the-wall, Southern Comfort meets The Magnificent Seven follow up to Ridley Scott’s sci-fi horror classic, Alien, was first released around this time in the summer of '86. I was about 9-years-old, like Newt, when I first saw Aliens on television, and I must’ve been completely obsessed by the time I... Continue Reading →
Introduced by Devlin GOOMBA! On this episode, we turned over the reins of the film picking to the delightful and talented Em, creator and host of the phenomenal podcast Verbal Diorama, and she, without hesitation, chose the 1993 Nintendo bob-ox office bob-omb Super Mario Bros. Even after she rewarded our hospitality with this calamity (kidding!... Continue Reading →
Introduced by Devlin …in which I derail any momentum we have in gaining new listeners by choosing a film most people haven't seen and which isn’t available to stream anywhere. Maybe Gali is right when he says he dreads my picks... To be honest, that’s always been our approach here on Rewind for Throwback episodes... Continue Reading →
Introduced by Matt Mellow greetings. I think my twelve-year-old self would roll his eyes if I said anything other than Demolition Man is a fun, rip-roaring slice of ’90s action cinema. I have little desire to pick it apart too much. I’m fiercely loyal to the films of my youth, particularly these days, and will... Continue Reading →
Introduced by Devlin This is the most recent film we've ever covered on the podcast, which stretches the self-defined scope of what we deem a Rewind movie. Until now, we've stopped around the early 2000s, as that sort of caps our adolescence and with it, the period in our lives when we had the time,... Continue Reading →
Introduced by Patrick You’re going to be taken… to a revisit of the most badass Brian you’ve ever encountered. I still laugh to this day that Liam Neeson’s character is called ‘Brian Mills’. It’s hardly a cool name like ‘Jason Bourne’, but that's one of the many reasons I enjoy this film so much -... Continue Reading →
