Film sort of chosen by, and introduced by, Devlin with a wonderful YouTube playlist by Matt https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXTibPqCx29HGoX7bInyvj-nNS-hkqCeJ Honestly there's not much to add to this week's episode; other than to say that if you are interested in the labyrinthine process by which HR Giger was hired to create the lead monster in Species, and subsequently...

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 →
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 →
Film chosen and 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... Continue Reading →

NOBODY BEATS ME IN THE KITCHEN. Welcome back to the Bargain Bin, as we go full steam ahead on the 1995 Steven Seagal-starring choo-choo beat ‘em up sequel Under Siege 2: Dark Territory.

CyberChrist on a bike! A second dip in to the Bargain Bin yields the 1992 virtual reality trip THE LAWNMOWER MAN, starring Pierce Brosnan and Jeff Fahey. Improbably named scientician Dr. Larry Angelo is using this latest technology to increase intelligence, and has the perfect subject in naïve, developmentally challenged stereotype Jobe Smith, a local...

GITOUTTATHERE! The Rewind team are taking their first dip in to the Bargain Bin – a new series that takes a break from the Throwbacks to focus on the ubiquitous trash that we’ve passively watched a hundred times and subjecting them to a level of scrutiny that they almost certainly don’t deserve. First up is... Continue Reading →
