The Rewinders Podcast

In a land, far away, in the middle of nowhere... there is a tribe of people in precariously built stilted huts, whom till the grass. Until Sergeant Batman rode into town and killed everyone... or so he thought! This is where the adventure begins! A king's son, who was stolen in the night... in a fashion we wont get into now, but it involves a cow, and prepared for sacrifice - saved and raised by a...

In the year 2017 the most popular TV show is The Running Man! Convicts get a chance to earn their freedom with a "futuristic" gladiatorial extravaganza! Lets not talk about its all a show and none of it is real. The Stalkers suck, the Runners actually never win, and Deep Fakes are much easier to accomplish than now in reality. Join Joe, Ken, Andy, and Dan as they jog along side the movie - digging...

Joe, Ken, Andy, and Dan have been Rewinding, and Rebooting, movies for a year now - Rebooting the podcast itself. With a bit of reflection they look back upon their first year together Rewinding movies from the 80s and 90s (mostly) and look a bit ahead as they are unshackled from the season of the Reboots. Join them for a short chat as they prepare for Season 4... the season of... Guilty Pleasures...

Joe watches them once, riffs them once - and never watches them again. This week Netflix imported a holiday film from Brazil and dubbed it - and it was done pretty well actually. Its a film about a cranky guy, who hates Christmas... who gets all cranky, on Christmas... and ends up Groundhoging Christmas, sort of, thanks to Grandpa cursing him with old man magic, or something. One mistress, two hom...

From left field, Bethany comes out of holiday movie riffing retirement to join me on this extra special short film. The Colonel is cooking up some chicken that is too good to not fall in love with... then Mother-in-Law... or actual Mother, I never quite understood her place in the family (as you will hear in the recording) - comes in like a poor-man's Lucille Bluth to ruin the day. Experience a fu...

Why stay shackled to the same person all year when you can party with them over all the "holidays" with no commitments? Wait, but isn't agreeing to something like that a commitment?! Oh no, its already falling apart! Add a dash of a Yoda-like little girl... a non-United States accent... and a raunchy aunt and you have a "holiday" movie that gives you some chuckles between the feel-good moments. Jo...

Watch it once, Riff it once. That is the way we do things during A Very Netflix Christmas. This week, we follow a penny pincher from DC who is tasked to find every reason to shut down Andersen Air Force Base in Guam. Meanwhile, a pilot who can't stop giving has to hide his "dirty secret" or single handedly close the base down due to his actions. Who knows, maybe those CG geckos will bring some luc...

Feel the holiday fever with The Rewinders Podcast, or at least Joe. Its that time of the year when movie reviews take a back seat to Modern Holiday Movie Riffing! Sync up the podcast to the Netflix logo of the corresponding movie and have Joe along for your viewing to say stuff - witty or not. We only watch the movie once - and we riff the movie that one time... why? why would we want to watch the...

One day you are playing a game of muuuuuuuurrrrrrrduuuuuuuuur... and thinking, "its just a game." Then, comes along a movie about muuuuuuuuurrrrrrrduuuuuuuuur... and... its no longer... just a game.

Tune in, and listen to Joe, Ken, Andy, and Dan...

In a time... of lockable rotary dial phones, there were two men seeking a way home. A time of no cell phones, wood-paneled vehicles on our roadways, and no TSA checkpoints at airport terminals. This, my friends, is the 80s and the world of Planes, Trains, and Automobiles. Follow Joe, Ken, Andy, and Dan as they discuss the finer points of the 1987 film and debate if a reboot is necessary or "needed...

Ladies and Gentlemen, you may not want that body of yours snatched. Plus, Guy Ritchie instructed us to NOT SNATCH... but here we are. Plant-Alien-Snatchers are gunna snatch you all up and replace us. There is no hiding, there is only turning into hairy trash. Join Joe, Ken, Andy, and Dan as they ponder the invasion that doesn't seem to stop invading (1956, 1978, 1993, 2007, 2021?). Although, this...

Its just going to be a weekend at the cabin they said... it'll be fun they said... Join us... they said? wait wait wait. who said "join us?" Anyway, bring your girlfriend they said. Hell, bring your sister if you'd like. How can you turn that down? Well, 8 hours later, everyone else is dead and you are covered in a Olympic swimming pool's worth of blood. Now that is a weekend away! Join Joe, Ken,...

Take one part Dawn of the Dead... One part Short Circuit... one part horney camp... and one part undiscovered Terminator and you could possibly get the movie, Chopping Mall. Somehow this huge mall caters to many family owned businesses and not chain stores, and one of them is going to host a SECRET - SEXY party for the youth of undefined age. Old enough to know better, young enough to have sex ope...

Little do they know, that in the future their music saves the world and makes it a better place. Instead of a Terminator - the future sends Rufus to the past to help keep Bill and Ted together and making music. What could break these two apart? History class...

Joe, Ken, Andy, and Dan review how it has affected their lives growing up - and if it still...

Its a late night... you have the stale flavor of an alcoholic beverage in your mouth (or non-alcoholic depending on your age/preference)... and you have this nagging feeling at the back of your mind. "how hard did that Russian lady have to squeeze with her legs to obliterate that giant ant?" and then, the bad sexy thoughts start flowing - and now you know... you have put too much thought into the...

How exciting is it to hear that one of your favorite series will return after around 19 years?! Its so exciting that anything the film can and could be end up being mediocre, just like Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Joe, Ken, Andy, and Dan try to piece together emotions and reality with how one of their most revered series of their youth had returned to them in 2008. There isn...

Remember when this was the end of a memorable series of films? When, we were happy with how things wrapped up for the character Indiana? This episode clings to that time, and acknowledges what is yet to come - a full episode to discuss the Indiana Jones Reboot... Join Joe, Ken, Andy, and Dan as they giggle, shout, and remind each other of their feelings for what SHOULD have been the capstone of a...

Where does a movie series go from opening the Ark of the Covenant and releasing death angels to kill Nazis?   INDIA - to pull hearts out of people for Kali!   Giant Vampire Bats, Mine Cart races, Forced Child Labor, and hungry elephants fill the screen in the second movie of the Indiana Jones trilogy.   Think of it as the Beyond the Thunderdome of the Indiana Jones series.   Come along as Joe, Ken...

The guys at The Rewinders Podcast have finished traveling through time from 1536 to 1986 -- from the Scottish Highlands to the part of New York City that has so many metal pipes people use them for weapons. Along the way, a few people lost their head for whatever reason... but others kept their calm and remained to make it to The Gathering... sort of... but not really... it was more like a two per...

"You cannot understand my disdain for this movie unless you know my anger about what happened to Star Wars" - Ken (one of the hosts of The Rewinders Podcast)   In one of the most meandering episodes of the The Rewinders Podcast, the hosts talk about this Disney animation gem - and what it meant to them as children... and how it feels today.   Within the "Reboot" theme of this part of season 3, Dis...

Crows love vengeance - FACT.   This particular crow finds a guy who has had his life literally destroyed by a small gang on Devil's Night.
