The Rewinders Podcast

Its the FUTURE... but the future is the past, specifically 1997. And the FUTURE is FULL OF CRIME. So much crime, in fact, that Manhattan is walled off and turned into the United States' version of early Australia... a prison island.   By complete coincidence, the president is crashed into this mega, super secure, never escape prison - at around the same time - SUPER CRIMINAL and possible War Hero,...

The Rewinders Podcast returns with new hosts to review childhood movies to see if they hold up.   Hosts - Joe, Ken, Andy, and Dan explore movies from our collective past and this season debate the films re-bootability.   To start the re-booting of the Rewinders Podcast, we are re-booting our Princess Bride episode and further the conversation to include the chatter that occurred in the past year o...

Joe returns to live riffs holiday movies for fun and no profit.   This year the super-cut includes the non-classics: Princess Switch and Christmas Ranch. Can Joe make it all the way through both movies? You'll have to listen and find out!   Plus, stick around for threats and the throwing of a shoe.

Bethany and Joe Return a year later to mock the hell out of the next installment of A Christmas Prince.    The Royal Wedding had big shoes to fill - did it do the job? Was it so bad it was good? Or did the whole thing just fall flat?   Come along for some chuckles in a super-cut of live riffing of A Christmas Prince: The Royal Wedding.

This episode does not explore a movie from the 80s or 90s - but a modern Netflix show that Joe was excited to watch.   Previews fluttered the heart of Cyberpunk fans (or at least Joe) with bright lights, cybernetics, and sprawling mega cities.

This movie proves the ole adage "its not the size of the Nelwyn that matters, its how the Nelwyn uses it."   Willow, like the hobbits from Lord of the Rings, is like the Spanish Inquisition - no one expects him... or treats him as a threat until its too late. Using that, along side crazy Madmartigan and his red-headed sweatie, Queen Bavmorda's daughter, Sorsha - the good guys end up saving the day...
