It’s rare that we get to watch something that’s actually great for the podcast, but we made an exception when this popped up on @alwaysflacko.bsky.social’s list. Boy, am I glad we did.

When I saw the length of this weeks podcast, I was concerned. How do you spend 2 plus hours on a film that’s almost 10/10 no notes? You guys really pulled it off— A lot of fun and even learned a thing or two. Forrest was maybe the perfect guest for this type of show.

Aced it! Game #1021 🎬 🏆⚫⚫⚫⚫ cinequote.net/game/1021?re...

In a week where we watched by far the best film we've covered on this podcast, @alwaysflacko.bsky.social from @movienightextra.bsky.social joins us to revisit The Sting, which none of us had seen in AGES, and which perhaps unsurprisingly was entirely kindly rewound. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mlke...

Most of the movies on @unkindrewindpod.bsky.social are awkward at best or downright terrible at worst upon rewatch but that’s certainly not the case this week! Super fun rewatch and discussion of The Sting, whilst going down more than one rabbit hole or two. RIP Robert Redford

I got this in one. You could have too… Instead, it’s got like a ~50% fail rate, which in this case is fixable. Game #1021 🎬 🏆⚫⚫⚫⚫ cinequote.net/game/1021?re...

Retromovie not ReelMovie—apologies for that

I was able to find this week’s movie streaming free without ads on a Roku app, ReelMovie. Not only that, I also stumbled across some other great retro stuff on there. Picture and sound quality is solid. Definitely worth downloading if you like older (think early 80s and before) movies.

Make sure to check out this week's brand spanking new ep with @alwaysflacko.bsky.social of @movienightextra.bsky.social, where we talk all manner of podcasting and movie things and reveal a particularly timely movie that we'll be watching for next week! unkindrewind.com/episodes/qs-...

Shout out to the James J. Hill House. I lived a couple doors down (not at the archbishop’s). Coincidentally, I went to a murder mystery holiday work party at the nearby University Club. No one wanted to play, just down cocktails, so the poor actors gave up and announced the murderer before dessert.

Join us as we revisit Clue with @movieruntime.bsky.social. Could Clue stand up to her fond childhood memories of it? What character would she play if she could? Would the three endings still play as an ingenious novelty? Watch and find out! www.youtube.com/watch?v=POQo...

Oh, this is going to be a fun one, especially if it ends up as a battle between "I will defend this movie to my very last breath" versus "I don't get it."

After taking care of pod biz (w/ call-ins from @jgsteen.bsky.social and Karyn of @chicklitpod.bsky.social), Josh sits down for a rollicking good chat with none other than @movieruntime.bsky.social, who will try to avoid saying the word 'drawers' while they talk. unkindrewind.com/episodes/qs-...

With @keeplaangry.bsky.social joining us, we revisited The NeverEnding Story, which it seems like everyone under the age of 50 other than Josh saw. Would Steve's decades long fear of ruination of a cherished childhood film prove to be warranted, or could he still love it? Watch and find out.

Oh FFS now there’s gonna be a delay???? Lemme know when they resume play, I’m gonna go watch the new @unkindrewindpod.bsky.social podcast

Ahem!

@unkindrewindpod.bsky.social I remember when Golden Oldies meant listening to the Beatles or Frankie Valli with Dick Wilson as the DJ for oldies 95. Now this popped up on my playlist this morning.

Very bummed about Graham Greene’s passing. Everyone should watch his tour de force performance in Clearcut. boxd.it/azFmQF

📣 New Podcast! "34 - It Was a Beige Turtleneck, so It Really Made Him Look Like a Human Penis (S13E7 Russian Brides)" on @Spreaker #cragenisode #izabellamiko #lawandordersvu #russia #russianbrides #sergeieisenstein #svu #svupodcast #timothybusfield #vory_v_zakone

The one and only @leojallenjr.bsky.social joined us for another side episode of @neatcastpod.bsky.social AI past, present and future…the good and the bad. www.buzzsprout.com/1235597/epis...

Apropos of the discussion at the top of our new Qs and Tease with Steve Miranda episode…

Let me get this straight. When Lee Corso puts on a mascot’s head, it’s endearing. But when I do it, I get banned from Disney World?

Got a fun one where we talk Canada, Sean bullies Josh about musicals, and we get to know our next guest, @keeplaangry.bsky.social, whose movie is one everyone but Josh saw growing up. unkindrewind.com/episodes/qs-...

So much fun this week with @scottrlucas.bsky.social talking Risky Business. It may have made Tom Cruise a star, but it's hard to think about anything other than Rebecca De Mornay while watching it, as @heyseanmcgrath.bsky.social definitely testifies to in this one. youtu.be/2nSxxAEj45c

I was too young to see Risky Business in the theater but got the folks to rent it one weekend. I knew from the trailer and word-of-mouth not to watch it with them, so I waited until they left to run errands and kept one eye out the window. The credits started right as they pulled into the driveway.

Some people wanted MORE baseball talk.

A LOT of you will have seen this next movie that we cover with @scottrlucas.bsky.social, so this should be fun as hell.

Hey! I was on a podcast with a friend from ye olde days in Austin, @oldmanduggan.bsky.social + his pal Sean McGrath. Concept: I offer a list of movies seen in my formative years but never since. They pick one, we explore our memories *before* rewatching, then review in depth after seeing it again.

Come and join us as we get to know long-time Rangers prospect scribe @scottrlucas.bsky.social, diving into his youth, writing about baseball in the nascent days of internet baseball writing, and his history with next week's movie that launched a MASSIVE movie star. www.youtube.com/watch?v=IO0Q...

Pictured: A boy with his toy. Whether or not you've seen Urban Cowboy, let the dulcet twangy tones of the Unkind Rewind hit ya like a cooked steak to the back of the head. Josh, I and special guest Lori Ferraro break it all down for ya here:

Rangers 2, Diamondbacks 3. The Rangers are 61-60. It's just baseball, no reason to get emotional, right?

Come on down to Gilley's where the women are unfamiliar with bras, the men are all scumbags, and the mechanical bull is the only way to show you're a boss. We watched Urban Cowboy with Lori Ferraro, who spent her teen years lusting after a cowboyed up John Travolta. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtHN...

After years of being generally unavailable for streaming on (presumably owing to music rights), Pump Up the Volume is currently up on Criterion, so we urge you to watch and then check out our episode with @neutron.bsky.social from a couple months ago. unkindrewind.com/episodes/pum...

Our brand new ep with Portland actor/sketch comic Lori Ferraro is up. Really fun getting to know her and digging into her relationship to next week's film, which is going to be a blast to rewatch! unkindrewind.com/episodes/qs-...

So this hasn’t been released in 40 years, and the only way you can watch it out of the random screening at a revival house is on AWFUL VHS rips. Until September. Incredibly jazzed for this Night of the Juggler release! (h/t to @atschwitters.bsky.social) kinolorber.com/product/nigh...

Please do not be intimidated by Old Man Duggan's insane stats here, people. He is a weird, broken, robot-boy that survived government liquidation and escaped into the wild. Do not compare your stats to his. Your life as a real human person is much more commendable.

I went to the movies a couple times and only fell asleep once! Also watched a pretty messed up movie from the '80s, a season of a Taylor Sheridan show, some Predator stuff, and some driving flicks. Come get some. joshduggan.substack.com/p/the-week-t...

Rewatched ST. ELMO'S FIRE tonight and I knew all the guys in it are kind of assholes, but OMG they are SUCH assholes.

Shoutout to whoever is watching the latest @unkindrewindpod.bsky.social premiere podcast with me tonight.

We watched the predatory capitalist, pro-escort work teen rom-com Can't Buy Me Love starring Patrick Dempsey, and I'm sure you can't believe this, but it might not have aged well. How did @canedyknowles.bsky.social's return to it play after a few decades? www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOUm...

These are my @cinequote.net stats as of today’s Ace.

Ahem. Game #951 🎬 🏆⚫⚫⚫⚫ cinequote.net/game/951?ref...

We're joined by actress/improv comic extraordinaire @canedyknowles.bsky.social this week, so come get to know her and what she remembers about another '80s teen movie set in Arizona that may or may not have aged well. unkindrewind.com/episodes/qs-...

Great reminiscence from avid listener @moebius13.bsky.social and gets to the heart of what this podcast can unlock for you from your youth. You never know what memories it can trigger for you.

Didn't get to watch quite as much this week, but I did watch My Mom Jayne, which would likely be of interest to my Munchies out there. joshduggan.substack.com/p/the-week-t...

At this point, he's a couple years removed from his last minor U.S. hit (an eternity for teenagers) and is nowhere to be found on MTV. Spike/Veronica is 4 years away, and his greatest hits album wouldn't come out until after the movie wrapped. This is his down cycle in American cultural relevance.

The Elvis Costello line bothered me at the time and is a give away the script was written by a 20- or 30-something dude. In 1985, no American high schooler, at least the type of girl who says the line in the movie, would know how Elvis Costello dresses and likely would not know who he is.

After some uploading issues, this week’s brand spanking new Main Event with special guest art-handling Stewart Parker is here, and we talked about the seminal gender-bending ‘80s teen comedy, Just One of the Guys. It’d been a while for us all. Did it hold up? youtu.be/8U9l7ZJz2dQ?...
