Unkind Rewind

04/04/2025

New father and parkour/mindset coach, joins the pod to proselytize about the 1996 Michael Jordan/Looney Tunes flick, Space Jam. While Maayan can’t get enough of this treasured childhood mainstay, and Sean had no childhood affinity for the film. Would his unbridled passion for all Bugs and Co. transfer to the hosts? Would they take issue with the film’s plot or lack thereof? Did an entire film relying upon a very famous non-actor hamstring the film or was Michael Jordan’s magnetism enough to overcome such a thing? Is this film entirely Stan’s dying fever dream after falling head first onto concrete? There’s only one way to get the answer to these and so many more questions, and that’s to check out this installment of the Unkind Rewind.

To close out Season 2, we’ve got viral parkour sensation Maayan Olshan on to proselytize about one of his childhood faves, Space Jam, a movie Sean suggests may be the fever dream of a dying man and one with which Josh Duggan had issues. Come get some.

Join us as we TALK HARD with about a movie that all three of us hadn't seen in decades and clearly forgot A LOT. One of us set a fire in our kitchen with a microwave, one of us got chased and arrested by the FCC, and one of us got uncomfortably attaboyed by our dad for being caught in the basement with our hot girlfriend, so that's a success, right?

Watch on YouTube, buy a $5 bootleg cassette from the kid in the schoolyard, or listen wherever you get your podcasts.

Also, be sure to check out Conan Neutron & the Secret Friends' brand new album THE WAY OF THE NEUTRON on Bandcamp or whichever streaming service you use (but Bandcamp is better for the band).

We’re so lucky to have been joined by Conan Neutron this week to talk all things Conan Neutron & the Secret Friends, Protonic Reversal, Movie Night Extravaganza, and growing up in CA watching next week’s seminal youth-in-revolt flick that none of us have seen in 20+ years.

Make sure to check out Conan Neutron & the Secret Friends upcoming album THE WAY OF THE NEUTRON on Bandcamp. Full album is out next week, but three songs are streaming (link in the show notes and below).

Sometimes you see a movie on someone’s list of movies they grew up with but haven’t seen in decades, and you never have to give the list a second though because one leaps out immediately. This is what happened when we got the list from Greg Schaum. Will Unkind Rewind ever be the same after Gymkata? No one can know for sure.

Listen wherever you get your podcasts or at our website. You can also watch on YouTube.

Oh man, have we got a treat for you. This week, Greg Schaum joins us to take a trip back to Parmistan, or at least the couch from whence he practiced his sweet Gymkata moves. So. Much. To. Talk/laugh. About. So glad this was a sleepover staple of Greg's that he hadn't seen in over 30 years!

After picking up the pieces from last week's St. Elmo's Fire Main Event and talking Oscars, we chat with Greg Schaum about growing up with sports and movies in his life and his relationship the wonderfully insane and exceptionally dextrous movie we'll be watching for next week.

Join us as —the best-selling author of Heartsick and the subsequent five books in the Archie Sheridan & Gretchen Lowell series, which count themselves amongst the more than a dozen books and comic book series on her bibliography—sits down with us to talk about the movie from which the term “Brat Pack” sprung unflatteringly, the 1985 Joel Schumacher film starring Emilio Estevez, Rob Lowe, Andrew McCarthy, Demi Moore, Judd Nelson, Ally Sheedy, and Mare Winningham, St. Elmo’s Fire.

How did the messiest post-graduation year in history for a group of friends(?) play after decades of not having seen this movie? How did every single non-Andrew McCarthy male character read in the 21st Century? Do all of the very best friends commit felonies against one another before agreeing that they’ve graduated to being brunch people? The only way to find out the answer to these and so many other pressing questions is to strap in and venture into the Unkind Rewind, but bring a jacket this week, we wouldn’t want you to die from catching a chill.

Listen wherever you get your podcasts or watch on YouTube.

Best-selling author Chelsea Cain joins us to talk about St. Elmo's Fire, which she loved as a kid but hasn't seen since she saw it in the theatre. How did it age? How were these people friends? Can you graduate to being brunch people after committing felonies against said friends? Would Chelsea still love the film? Watch (or listen on any podcatcher) and find out!

We're joined by the hilarious best-selling author Chelsea Cain, talking internet activity that's likely landed us on watch lists, Tom Selleck's legs, which Brat Pack boy is our platonic ideal, and traumatic haircuts ahead of next week's Main Event on a movie you've all likely seen.
