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...

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 him look cool? The... Continue Reading →
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 us on the podcast for...

Introduced by MattJames Cameron’s action-packed, balls-to-the-wall, Southern Comfort meets The Magnificent Seven follow up to Ridley Scott’s sci-fi horror classic, Alien, was first released around this time in the summer of '86. I was about 9-years-old, like Newt, when I first saw Aliens on television, and I must’ve been completely obsessed by the time I... Continue Reading →
Introduced by Devlin GOOMBA! On this episode, we turned over the reins of the film picking to the delightful and talented Em, creator and host of the phenomenal podcast Verbal Diorama, and she, without hesitation, chose the 1993 Nintendo bob-ox office bob-omb Super Mario Bros. Even after she rewarded our hospitality with this calamity (kidding!... Continue Reading →
Introduced by Devlin …in which I derail any momentum we have in gaining new listeners by choosing a film most people haven't seen and which isn’t available to stream anywhere. Maybe Gali is right when he says he dreads my picks... To be honest, that’s always been our approach here on Rewind for Throwback episodes... Continue Reading →
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 we had the time,... Continue Reading →
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 Disney, and basically...

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 that we live in The...

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 felt like I... Continue Reading →
