May the 4th Be With You ✨

Introduced by Matt Star Wars (1977) "Let the Wookiee win." C-3PO, Star Wars It's always easy in retrospect to play post-structuralist, but for context, Star Wars is considered a crowd-rallying, post-Watergate and Vietnam War phoenix from the flames. It truly was a period of civil war in the USA, with gritty, cynical pictures mirroring the... Continue Reading →

Episode 104: The Exorcist (1973)

Film chosen and introduced by Matt In every sense, 1999 was a year of profound horror. I was sixteen going on seventeen, and careering towards my final year of secondary school. The queasy terror of receiving distinctly average GCSE results—though thankfully they were good enough to nudge me into a technical college, accompanied by a... Continue Reading →

Episode 101: Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)

Introduced by Matt Discounting Piranha II: The Spawning—from which James Cameron claims to have been sacked, in a shrewd attempt to distance himself from, and disown it—and his underwater documentary work, he's only actually directed eight films, and for me, only three are worth your precious time: The Terminator, Aliens, and Terminator 2: Judgment Day....

Episode 100: Home Alone (1990)

Introduced by Matt Home Alone is not for everyone. As much as my dad laughs at Gerald G. Bamman's indelible portrayal of the miserly Uncle Frank, I’m certain it's not entirely his cup of tea—though I do cherish the memory of him taking me to see Home Alone 2: Lost in New York at the old...

HalloRe’ewind ’22 🎃

The Rewind Movie Podcast’s very own HalloRe’ewind returns—this year, chillingly curated by Scarious Artists (aka me, Matt), featuring an unlucky dip… a ghoulish grab bag… a petrifying potluck… a gruesome gumbo—you get the point. A spine-chilling selection of haunted holiday horrors await! 9:00 It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (1966) 25m Good morning, you blockheads.... Continue Reading →

Episode 96: The Lost Boys (1987)

Film chosen by listener Louis Naum, introduced by Matt Anyone who’s ever upped and moved to a new town recognises The Lost Boys’ eighties, tropey Karate Kid vibes. I responded immediately to the plight of the Emersons—not because I ever relocated myself as a child, but as I’m from Catterick Village—ten minutes from Catterick Garrison, which remains the...

Episode 92: The Bodyguard (1992)

Film chosen and introduced by Matt I’ve watched The Bodyguard perhaps as many times as Frank Farmer’s watched Yojimbo. Alright, maybe not that much. But I've seen it a lot... I've seen it a lot. Due to that, this was an effortless first encounter to trace, as I have pristine memories of the summer surrounding... Continue Reading →

Episode 88: RoboCop (1987)

Film chosen by listener Jamie Russell, introduced by Matt I can totally recall my oldest friend, Rob, and I watching RoboCop together, possibly as young as 8, and gravitating towards ED-209. I’m not certain if we saw the theatrical version, or a censored cut taped off the telly, but I do remember the film adorning... Continue Reading →

Episode 87: Jaws (1975)

Film chosen and introduced by Matt How do we even begin to discuss, or write about our favourite films? Is Jaws the greatest ever? I can't say—it’s so subjective. But it’s my favourite. I know that much. It’s perhaps impossible to express my deep-seated adoration for it, but let's try. Stanley Kubrick's The Shining (once... Continue Reading →
