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 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 →
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 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 so much -... 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...

Pee-wee’s Big Adventure (1985) | Big Top Pee-wee (1988) Kooky cult comedy antics abound in this '80s double bill oddity, starring Paul Reubens as his madcap Groundling creation, Pee-wee Herman. Adorned in a grey suit, white high-heeled shoes (“tequila!”) and a little red bowtie, the petulant, childlike roars and idiosyncratic shenanigans of Reubens’ character were... Continue Reading →
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 →
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 than the idealised... Continue Reading →
