Film chosen by Gali, 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... Continue Reading →
Episode 36: BARGAIN BIN #7 Taken (2008)
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 →

Episode 34: Darby O’Gill and the Little People
Film chosen and introduced by Devlin I admit early and often in this episode to having something of an inability to process whimsy. Despite having previously chosen a family fantasy film of sorts (Terry Gilliam's The Adventures of Baron Munchausen) my childhood had a marked dearth of family-style fantasy films, an even bigger dearth of...

Episode 33: L.A. Confidential (1997)
Film chosen by listener Oli, introduced by Devlin Big thanks to Oli (@Remedi_RPM) for requesting this movie for review! As stated in the episode, I sort of filed this one away in this amorphous group of worthy-but-slightly-dull movies that I probably should have watched by now and would probably never really get around to, given...

Episode 32: Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (1991)
Film chosen and introduced by Patrick I watched Avengers: Endgame (again) this week, which got me recalling fondly the experience of seeing such a film at the cinema, having gone to the midnight screening which was nothing short of wild. There are few films I consider to have given me a ‘true cinema’ experience. I... Continue Reading →
Episode 31: The Adventures of Baron Munchausen (1988)
Film chosen and introduced by Devlin There's a sizeable portion of this podcast which veers in to a discussion about heroes. About what they mean to us and how our relationship to them changes over the years. About the inevitability of disillusionment when people we admire turn out to be flawed and messy humans rather...

Episode 30: Basic Instinct (1992)
Film chosen by Matt, introduced by Devlin The other day I was watching Chopping Mall on my phone. Again. While I’m an aficionado of shit cinema, I’m not an expert like the Red Letter Media lads or the Good Bad Movie Club. So while I know some of the names of the more prolific and... Continue Reading →
Episode 29: Almost Famous (2000)
Film chosen and introduced by Devlin One thing I wish we'd had more time to discuss on this episode was the music is in Almost Famous. I mean, I'm being an idiot in that we did in fact discuss the music used in the film quite a bit - about the amount of diegetic tracks... Continue Reading →
Episode 28: Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey (1991)
Film chosen by guest Richard Jackson, introduced by Devlin I’d love to say that Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey inspired within me a deep and life-long fascination for the work of Ingmar Bergman, but outside of a couple of the big hitters, I’ve remained too immature to fully delve in to the dense and sombre...
