Rewind Classic Movies

John Hughes. Steve Martin. John Candy. A shower curtain ring salesman, a grumpy ad exec, and the most emotionally devastating comedy of 1987. This movie has 93% on Rotten Tomatoes but only 72% on Meteoritic. So where will we end up on it? (The Patreons will NOT be happy with AJ).We dig into what makes this film so beloved - and whether it holds up if you've never seen it before.Also: why Project Hail Mary is the best 80s film we've seen in years, and a deep dive into Roger Moore-era Bond.Next week: Inspired by the oddball partnership of Neal and Del, we pick our fantasy travel companions from the movies!

GB and AJ rev up for their Top 10 Cars in Movies, following on from last week's Back to the Future.The lads each bring five picks to the table, and while their tastes couldn't be more different - one loves a battered, characterful classic, the other goes full Hollywood spectacle - they find more common ground than expected.And there are a few moments where they get surprisingly close to picking the same thing for the first time ever. They might even pick from the same movie - but will it be the same car?!?Plus listener picks, honourable mentions, why they hate modern cars and AJ tells a story about a wheel falling off at 60mph.Next week: Inspired by vehicles, we look at a movie which heavily features them - even its title is a list of forms of transport!Get involved:⭐️ Leave us a review on your podcast platform - it really helps the show grow!

It's 1987 - Rick Astley is never gonna give you up, MTV just launched and a gang of very cool, very dangerous vampires are running Santa Carla. GB and AJ rewind Joel Schumacher's cult classic The Lost Boys: how it reinvented the vampire genre for the MTV generation, why the soundtrack might be bigger than the movie itself, and whether style trumps substance. And why does it feel like 2 different movies, with the final act coming across like a Goonies sequel? And was it anything to do with Goonies director Dick Donner being the original director?!?Oh, and AJ gets absolutely roasted in the comments section, Patreons deliver some passionate and contradcitory verdicts.Next week: Inspired by the amazing soundtrack, we look at our Favorite Movie Soundtracks of all time!Get involved:⭐️ Leave us a review on your podcast platform—it really helps the show grow!📩 Email: [email protected]🎟️ Want bonus content & early access?

You probably haven't seen it. You may never have heard of it.But Disney's The Black Hole (1979) is one of the most ambitious - and bizarre - films the studio ever made. It cost $20 million, earned two Oscar nominations, and then almost completely vanished.This week, GB and AJ dust it off and find a film that's darker, weirder, and more fascinating than it has any right to be, complete with a bonkers ending, a murderous robot, and one scene AJ has apparently never forgotten since childhood. ⚠️ TW: CA (Brief mention for less than 20 seconds between minute 21 and 22).Next week: Inspired by VINCENT from The Black Hole, we look at our favorite movie robots of all time!Get involved:⭐️ Leave us a review on your podcast platform—it really helps the show grow!📩 Email: [email protected]🎟️ Want bonus content & early access?

After revisiting Mission: Impossible 2 on the Rewind show, we Fast Forward to take you on the Tom Cruise Eras Tour.From his breakout in the early 80s to becoming one of the biggest movie stars on the planet, Cruise’s career spans more than four decades, nearly 50 films, and $15 billion at the box office.In this episode we break down the six eras of Tom Cruise - from the rebellious young actor of Risky Business and The Outsiders, to the global superstardom of Top Gun, Rain Man, and A Few Good Men, all the way through to the stunt-driven spectacle of the Mission: Impossible franchise and the cinematic comeback of Top Gun: Maverick. Along the way we discuss:• Cruise’s difficult upbringing and early rise in Hollywood• The incredible run of films between 1986 and 1992• His collaborations with directors like Scorsese, Kubrick and Spielberg• The strange sci-fi era (Vanilla Sky, Minority Report, War of the Worlds)• Why Tropic Thunder might be his most entertaining role• Whether Mission: Impossible has become more about stunts than story• And which Tom Cruise film we want to watch againPlus we look ahead to Cruise’s upcoming projects and ask whether he’s now become the last true movie star still fighting for the theatrical experience. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this episode of Rewind Classic Movies, we head back to the year 2000 - a time of Napster, low-rise jeans, and blockbuster action movies - to revisit Mission: Impossible 2.Directed by John Woo and starring Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt, the sequel took the sleek espionage thriller of the original film and transformed it into a full-blown slow-motion action spectacle. Doves, motorcycle duels, rock climbing without ropes, and a villainous bio-weapon plot… it’s all here.We talk about:• How John Woo’s signature style reshaped the franchise* Slow Motion, Doves, More Slow Motion and More Doves• The famous rock-climbing opening and that exploding sunglasses message• Tom Cruise’s long-haired, rock-and-roll Ethan Hunt• Thandiwe Newton’s role as Nyah and the lightning-fast romance• Whether the movie still works today or feels like pure early-2000s excess* And why are there so many f&*^%$$ masks??!Plus the usual tangents, nostalgia, and debate about whether this sequel helped build the modern Mission: Impossible franchise… or nearly derailed it.If you grew up in the DVD era, there’s a good chance this film was part of it.

What are the greatest movie quotes of all time?After last week’s Rewind episode on The Princess Bride, GB and AJ jump into a Fast Forward discussion inspired by one of cinema’s most iconic lines:“Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.”From there, they each bring their own personal top picks for the most memorable quotes in film history - the lines that instantly take you back to a scene, a character, or a moment in movie culture.Expect impressions (quality varies wildly), plenty of laughter, and quotes from classics including:Taxi DriverJurassic ParkBack to the FutureGhostbustersIndiana JonesJawsBlade RunnerStar WarsThe Lord of the RingsSpinal TapPlus cult favourites like Withnail & I, Hot Fuzz, and even a 1937 British comedy that shaped GB’s sense of humour. Along the way they debate what actually makes a line iconic - delivery, writing, context, or pure cultural impact - and share dozens of honourable mentions from across movie history.So… what’s your number one?

In this episode of Rewind Classic Movies, GB and AJ revisit Rob Reiner’s fantasy adventure starring Cary Elwes, Robin Wright, Mandy Patinkin, Christopher Guest, Wallace Shawn, and André the Giant.They explore how William Goldman wrote the story for his daughters, why Hollywood struggled to bring it to the screen, and how its unique blend of romance, comedy, action, and satire confused audiences at the time - but ultimately made it timeless.They also discuss André the Giant’s unforgettable performance, Cary Elwes’ unlikely path to leading man status, and why the film’s charm only grows stronger with age.From sword fights and revenge to true love and rodents of unusual size, The Princess Bride is a film that refuses to be forgotten.As you wish.

After Stargate exploded onto screens in 1994, Roland Emmerich had much bigger plans than a one-off sci-fi adventure.What was meant to be a full cinematic trilogy became a long-running TV phenomenon, a stalled sequel revival, multiple reboot attempts - and one very unfinished master plan.In this Fast Forward episode, we dig into Emmerich’s original Stargate follow-up ideas, why Stargate 2 and 3 never happened, and how the franchise splintered into TV, straight-to-DVD movies, animation, and reboot limbo.From Independence Day to The Day After Tomorrow, we track how Emmerich pivoted from ancient aliens to global destruction, while quietly leaving several massive projects behind. We also explore lawsuits, recasting oddities, abandoned trilogies, and the question that won’t go away: does Stargate still deserve another shot?Space pyramids, blown-up landmarks, and unrealised ambitions - this is Roland Emmerich, fast-forwarded.🗓️ Don't miss the REWIND episode next week when the guys go back over The Princess Bride (1987).Find us in other places:Patreon: ► https://patreon.com/RewindClassicMoviesYouTube: ► https://www.youtube.com/@rewindclassicmoviesInstagram: ► https://www.instagram.com/rewindclassicmoviesFacebook: ► https://www.facebook.com/rewindclassicmoviesTikTok: ► https://www.tiktok.com/@rewindclassicmovies Hosted on Acast.

This week on Rewind Classic Movies, GB and AJ revisit Stargate (1994) - a film that launched one of the biggest TV sci-fi franchises of all time, despite mixed reviews and a surprisingly grim leading man.We dig into:Why Kurt Russell is not having funJames Spader’s Jon Bon Jovi vibesJay Davidson’s emotional reaction to his villainous turn as RaPractical effects that still impress and visual choices that really don’tHow a planned movie trilogy quietly became a TV phenomenonIs Stargate an underrated classic, or a fascinating misfire held together by ambition and production design?Dial the gate.

Inspired by The Last Starfighter last week, this episode is all about our favourite movie aliens from the 1980s and 1990s.Not the films, but the creatures themselves: the designs, the performances, the personalities, and why some of them stuck with us for decades.From lovable companions like Max from Flight of the Navigator, to nightmare fuel like The Thing, we each bring five picks to the table and count them down to a shared Top 10.Along the way we cover:Why some aliens work because they aren’t monstersThe brilliance of performers inside suits and behind puppetsHow design, sound, and movement sell an alien more than CGI ever couldAnd why a few of these choices still hit harder today than they did back thenFunny, nostalgic, occasionally horrifying - this is a love letter to the aliens that shaped a generation of sci-fi, with some terrible impressions and questionable accents.

We had such a good time recording this episode - both the interview with Lance (who was lovely) and myself and AJ chatting about a movie he'd never seen before!This didn't go the way I thought it would.In July 1984, arcades were basically cathedrals, Apple had just launched the Mac, and one teen in a trailer park was about to save the entire galaxy… because he was too good at a video game.This week GB and AJ revisit The Last Starfighter (1984), the cult sci-fi adventure that helped pioneer early CGI space battles and delivered one of the most relatable heroes of the decade.And yes, we’re joined by Alex Rogan himself: Lance Guest.Lance takes us behind the scenes of Centauri’s Recruit, how he landed the role, what it was like leading a fast-paced shoot with limited takes, and playing both Alex and Beta Alex (including reshoots, sickness, makeup, and a wig that absolutely did the job). We also dig into what makes the movie feel like a warm nostalgic comfort-watch: the trailer park community, the slow-burn first act, the Star Wars / WarGames vibes, and why this film still hits if you’ve ever dreamed of escaping small-town life for something bigger.In this episode:Why The Last Starfighter was a risky early CGI leapLance Guest on being “bored and terrified” while starring in every sceneThe charm of Alex Rogan as the ultimate “ordinary guy” heroBeta Alex, reshoots, and that creepy under-the-bed version you maybe didn’t see on VHSWhy people either love this film… or they’ve never seen itIf you grew up with arcades, VHS sci-fi, and big dreams of space adventure… this one’s for you.

Nearly 40 years after Arnold Schwarzenegger’s The Running Man, a new 2025 adaptation hits cinemas, promising a darker, more faithful take on the Stephen King novel, with Edgar Wright in the director’s chair and Glenn Powell in the lead.So… what went wrong?In this Fast Forward episode, GB and AJ break down why The Running Man (2025) never quite works.From a muddled tone and flat world-building to a lead character we struggle to care about, this remake somehow manages to be neither fun nor brutal. We also dig into the “Arnie problem”, whether Glenn Powell was miscast, and why the film never feels like an Edgar Wright movie at all. Maybe he was just the wrong person to direct this. And we LOVE Edgar.We went in hopeful. We left apologising to the people we dragged along. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Arnold Schwarzenegger hunts ratings, spouts one-liners, and accidentally predicts reality TV.In this episode of Rewind Classic Movies, we revisit The Running Man (1987). A loose, sanitised adaptation of Stephen King’s bleak novel that somehow became a neon-lit, catchphrase-stuffed 80s action spectacle.Recorded over Christmas, partly from a Greek garden, the discussion digs into:Why the film feels more like a parody than a prophecyHow much of Stephen King’s original story survived the rewrite processArnie’s peak one-liner era (for better or worse)The film’s surprising accuracy about media manipulation and televised punishmentWhy nostalgia doesn’t always mean something holds upA cult classic for some, a baffling mess for others, and a fascinating snapshot of where blockbuster cinema collided with TV culture.🗓️ Don't miss the NEW STYLE FAST FORWARD episode next week when both the guys return to look at ...

This Fast Forward episode takes on the entire modern James Bond run - tackling the movies and the theme songs, starting with Pierce Brosnan’s debut in GoldenEye and following the franchise all the way through Daniel Craig’s final outing in No Time to Die.Recorded together in a hotel room, the conversation moves chronologically through all four Brosnan films and all five Craig films, tracking how Bond shifted from glossy post-Cold War blockbuster to something far heavier, more introspective, and occasionally exhausting. There’s praise for Brosnan’s early promise and screen presence, frustration with the series’ slide into excess and gimmicks, and a lot to say about the franchise losing its grip at the turn of the millennium.The Craig era is unpacked in full, from the shock of Casino Royale through the uneven middle chapters to the emotionally loaded conclusion of No Time to Die. Themes of continuity, character damage, tonal ambition, and whether Bond benefited from taking itself so seriously all come under scrutiny.It’s a fast, opinionated comparison of two eras that couldn’t be more different, and a discussion about what Bond gained, what it lost, and whether there’s a way back to fun without pretending the last 25 years didn’t happen.🗓️ Don't miss the REWIND episode next week when the guys go back over The Running Man with Arnie!

Pierce Brosnan’s first outing as James Bond didn’t just revive the franchise. It redefined it.In this episode of Rewind Classic Movies, GB and AJ revisit GoldenEye (1995), the Bond film that dragged 007 out of legal limbo and into the modern blockbuster era. From that legendary dam jump opening to Sean Bean’s 006 betrayal, we break down why GoldenEye still feels untouchable nearly 30 years later.We talk real stunts, Eric Serra’s controversial score, the six-year Bond gap, and whether GoldenEye’s opening is still the greatest in the entire franchise. Plus: Brosnan vs Craig, Cold War hangovers, VHS memories, and why Martin Campbell might be the ultimate Bond introducer.Tuxedos optional.🗓️ Don't miss the NEW STYLE FAST FORWARD episode next week when both the guys return to look at the Bond eras after this - the full Brosnan and Craig movies, ranked!Find us in other places:Patreon: ► https://patreon.com/RewindClassicMoviesYouTube: ► https://www.youtube.com/@rewindclassicmoviesInstagram: ► https://www.instagram.com/rewindclassicmoviesFacebook: ► https://www.facebook.com/rewindclassicmoviesTikTok: ► https://www.tiktok.com/@rewindclassicmovies Hosted on Acast.

AJ joins GB to chat about their Favorite Christmas Movies!As a loose follow-up to last week's Die Hard episode (yes, it's a Christmas movie!), they go over what films they dig out at Santa time whilst wearing questionable festive jumpers.Some are nostalgic, some remind them of Christmas tree lights (!?!) and some feature Alan cumming. Sorry - Alan Cumming.Along the way, they debate classics like It’s a Wonderful Life, Home Alone, Gremlins, The Snowman, Scrooged, National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, and the surprisingly divisive Polar Express. There’s praise, confusion, emotional damage caused by animated snowmen, and at least one film that’s “terrible but lovely.”Pour a drink, get comfortable, and join us for a festive deep dive into the films we actually watch every Christmas.🗓️ Don't miss the REWIND episode next week when the guys get together in a hotel room (easy now) to watch Goldeneye!Find us in other places:Patreon: ► https://patreon.com/RewindClassicMoviesYouTube: ► https://www.youtube.com/@rewindclassicmoviesInstagram: ► https://www.instagram.com/rewindclassicmoviesFacebook: ► https://www.facebook.com/rewindclassicmoviesTikTok: ► https://www.tiktok.com/@rewindclassicmovies Hosted on Acast.
