Film chosen and introduced by Devlin It's now 60 years since this film was released. In the ebb and flow of pop culture, especially in cinema, it's possible this film feels, to a lot of viewers, like a relic of a distant and unknowable past. I mentioned within the episode the strange juncture in movie... Continue Reading →
Merry Christmas Rewinders! This festive season, we have not one but TWO chats where we each discuss our perennial must-watch movies. True to form, those grumpy Grinches Devlin and Matt have picked subversive, somewhat dark 1980s twists on some traditional stories in what we're calling The Naughty List. First, Devlin talks about his love for... Continue Reading →
Film chosen by Gali and Devlin (sort of), introduced by Devlin We have, somehow, reached a half-century of episodes of this little ramblepod. And while this round of Throwbacks was due to be my choice of The Misfits, there was a feeling in the air that perhaps an elegiac, monochrome monument to the decaying embers... Continue Reading →
Film chosen by Gali, introduced by Devlin Among the many, many pleasures of Point Break, one major standout has to be that it contains one of the defining performances of Full Busey. Gary Busey is a very strange man. From his early breakthrough in Thunderbolt and Lightfoot and his garlanded turn as bespectacled nerd rock... Continue Reading →

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...

Film chosen by Patrick, 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...

Film chosen by guest Aidan, 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...
