Twenty-five years ago, a young opportunist went to Italy to convince a rich pl***oy to come home again, and well ... shenanigans ensued. If you don't know anything about THE TALENTED MR. RIPLEY, you've had a quarter century to get up to speed. But we won't spoil it here - just go watch the movie then come back to us and listen to the Rewinders (with special guest Joe Prince) discuss the talent and the ripples (hi there, Jude Law). https://www.rewindpod.com/current-episode-1

Twenty-five years ago, the most shocking and tasteless cartoon on cable television turned itself into an even more shocking and tasteless film about a shocking and tasteless cartoon that soon becomes an international incident, thanks to those adorable, shocking, tasteless little scamps Stan, Kyle, Kenny, and Cartman. It's SOUTH PARK: BIGGER LONGER & UNCUT and we're gonna g*dd**mn f**king well talk about it. https://www.rewindpod.com/current-episode-1

In a TRP first, the Rewinders are discussing a film that isn't in English. Pedro Almodóvar's 1999 drama ALL ABOUT MY MOTHER was the winner of the Oscar for Best Foriegn Language Film, and the most-awarded film in the history of his native Spain. It's the story of a grieving mother, an HIV-positive pregnant nun, a transgender s*x worker, a le***an diva of the theatre, her heroin-addicted girlfriend, and getting by with a little help from your friends. https://www.rewindpod.com/current-episode-1

03/31/2024

Twenty-five years ago, there was a three way battle for leadership between a nerd with likability issues, and good-natured goofball, and a spoiler candidate who just wanted to sow chaos. No, we're not talking about Gore, Dubya, and Nader - we're focusing on Carver High in Omaha, Nebraska, where Tracy Flick is ready for her ascension to Student Council President and her biggest nemesis seems to be not her fellow candidates, but an English teacher set on thwarting her goals. Directed by Alexander Payne and starring Reese Witherspoon and Matthew Broderick, this ELECTION is actually fun to watch. https://www.rewindpod.com/current-episode-1

We're starting our 1999 season off with a bang, if by "bang" you mean repeated punches to the head. Yes, it's David Fincher's tale of toxic masculinity and violence. We're not only going to talk about FIGHT CLUB, but we're going to spoil the hell out of it, so if you've never seen it before, you might want to give it a view before tuning into our show. https://www.rewindpod.com/current-episode-1

In a week, The Rewinders are setting the way-back machine to 25 years ago, when we were on the precipice of a new millennium, and Hollywood was cranking out an amazing number of brilliant movies. We can only watch six of them for the show, however ... if you want to listen along, here's your homework. We're gonna party like it's 1999. https://www.rewindpod.com/current-episode-1

03/01/2024

We're baaaack!! And this year, we're looking at movies from 1999, 1974, 1949, and all the 4's and 9's in between. In case you want to watch along, we're pleased to present our slate of films for Season 6. Come along for the ride, and ... https://www.rewindpod.com/current-episode-1

So the Rewinders got together over the weekend and picked our slate for Season 6. We’ve got some great movies lined up for 1999, 1974, 1949, and all the 4’s and 9’s in between. Our Annual Film Selection & Drinking Game episode is coming soon.

Seventy-five years ago, Olivia de Havilland starred in a film that humanized women struggling with mental health, and together with director Anatole Litvak, created a sensitive portrayal of a woman and one caring psychologist working in an overcrowded and often cruel system. Take our hand, we're walking into THE SNAKE PIT. It'll be okay. https://www.rewindpod.com/current-episode-1

12/01/2023

Seventy-five years ago, MGM took one of the most beloved songs from Irving Berlin's HOLIDAY INN, and made a movie that has absolutely nothing to do with Easter. But! It has Judy Garland and Fred Astaire and Peter Lawford and Ann Miller and 16 more songs by Berlin. EASTER PARADE is an old-fashioned musical about a song-and-dance man and the girl he plucks from obscurity to become the toast of Broadway, and we're gonna put on our fanciest bonnets and talk about it. https://www.rewindpod.com/current-episode-1

Meet the Rewinders

Ally Jenkins & Eric Peterson are not professional film critics, nor are they studied historians. They’re just two funny friends living in the here and now who have a yen for old movies. Putting those two things together is the heart of THE REWIND PROJECT.

Every year, Ally & Eric pick 28 movies - seven from 10 years ago, seven from 25 years ago, seven from 50 years ago, and a final batch of seven from 75 years ago -- and they talk about them. In these conversations, they discover some really great films, but they also start to pick up on how the world has changed since then, and how sometimes old movies are timeless, and sometimes they were great in their day but haven’t aged so well.
