The Rewind Movie Podcast pays our respects to the Beard, as we embark on a rewatch series of some of the highlights and lesser-travelled avenues of the career of arguably the most successful director in the history of the medium - Steven Spielberg. Our starting point (having already lavished our praise on Jaws) is his... Continue Reading →

Episode 136: Species II (1998)
"This isn't the f**king X-Files, goddammit!" No, this is a direct sequel to the surprise 1995 naked Natasha Henstridge sci-fi smash hit... it's Species II. Gali and Devlin have a close encounter with an awfully icky alien, as the sequels creators have gender-swapped the intergalactic sexual predator with unsurprisingly unpleasant results. Will a sloshed Michael... Continue Reading →
Episode 135: The Sound of Music (1965)
Patrick has done it again...he has brought the musical back into the podcast, this time to celebrate the 60th anniversary of The Sound of Music. A year after Mary Poppins, Julie Andrews plays Maria, a nun-turned-governess (so, not at all like a nanny) to the seven unruly children of Captain von Trapp (Christopher Plummer). Her...

The Real Quiz
This one is just us answering questions Gali made up.
Episode 134: Vanilla Sky (2001)
This…is a revolution of the mind. We’re screaming for tech support with Cameron Crowe’s 2001 mind-bendy romantic thriller Vanilla Sky. Somewhat-aging playboy rich kid David Aames, Jr. (Tom Cruise) skates by as the nominal figurehead of his late father’s publishing house, barely working, lounging in his sprawling penthouse with his casual friend-with-benefits, aspiring actress Julie...

Episode 132: Needful Things (1993)
Our Hail to the King series concludes (for now) with another anomaly from the venerable author's assemblage of adaptations - director Fraser C. Heston's 1993 take on his 1991 megatome Needful Things. In the quaint New England town of Castle Rock, the opening of a new store causes quite a stir - but just how... Continue Reading →
Episode 131: The Shining (1980)
Film chosen and introduced by Matt Maybe I’m crackers for finding The Shining convivial and cozy, but in parallel with Jaws, it’s morphed from a once petrifying picture into a movie that induces a somewhat trance-like state, where the horror is neatly neutered. It slowly became a seductively snug watch—washing over me like a secure,... Continue Reading →
Episode 130: The Mangler (1995)
“I'm uh, investigating a laundry folding machine with a bad case of demon possession.” We’re on the road to haunted Maine for Tobe Hooper’s 1995 Stephen King Bargain Bin curio The Mangler. When the gigantic industrial speed iron at Gartley’s Blue Ribbon Laundry Factory graphically swallows an elderly woman, bug-eyed, troubled local cop Officer John... Continue Reading →
Episode 129: The Predator (2018)
“Well, we took a vote. Predator's cooler, right?” Our LV-RMP series, running through the combined Alien and Predator series, arrives at Shane Black’s 2018 sequel, the confusingly named The Predator. A military sniper (Boyd Holbrook) witnesses a runaway Yautja ship crash landing in a Mexican jungle, and barely escapes with his life and a rucksack... Continue Reading →
