After Sean and Josh catch up on things after a few months down between Seasons 1 and 2, Josh sits down with our special guest for this week and next, Leo Allen, who shares a soft spot in his heart for next week's film, which is simultaneously not well known and yet somewhat significant, historically speaking. It's a great time with Leo. Disclaimer: there is some election postmortem talk near the top of the episode, so once that starts, you can skip ahead to about the 10:20 mark if you'd like to avoid that.Next week's film can be streamed for free at Hoopla or on the Internet Archive.Leo Allen can be found at his website: leojallenjr.comHis music released under the moniker Profound Simplicity can be found on YouTube: youtube.com/@profoundsimplicity His podcast, Voluntary Input, should hopefully be back up and running in January of 2025, and can be found here or wherever you get your pod on.All music in the show was composed by Divorcio Suave.

At the age of 9, a friend's dad traumatized his own son and Munch My Benson's own Adam Schwitters by gleefully letting them watch the darkly sexual and extremely messed up 1987 Mickey Rourke/Lisa Bonet/Robert De Niro gothic horror noir set in 1950s New York and New Orleans, Angel Heart. The first time Josh heard this, he was struck dumb at the notion that such a young child had been allowed to see such an ADULT movie, so when Unkind Rewind was born, there was absolutely no way that they weren't going to dive into Adam's FORMATIVE experience with such an age-inappropriate film.Angel Heart is currently streaming on Hoopla, Kanopy, and PlutoTV.Adam can be heard weekly alongside Josh on their Law & Order: SVU podcast Munch My Benson, which is 220 episodes in and counting: BlueSky, Instagram, Facebook, Threads, and Twitter His personal social media accounts are: Twitter and BlueSkyAll music in the show was composed by Divorcio Suave.

After Sean and Josh prepare you for the coming weeks without the podcast in the penultimate episode of Season 1, they welcome occasional Unkind Rewind co-host and full-time Munch My Benson co-host Adam Schwitters to the podcast. When Adam was a wee lad of 8, he saw a film that he was roughly ten years too young to see. The first time Josh heard this, he guffawed and when this podcast came into being there was absolutely no way that they weren't going to dive into Adam's FORMATIVE experience with next week's film.Next week's film is currently streaming on Hoopla, Kanopy, and PlutoTV.Adam can be heard weekly alongside Josh on their Law & Order: SVU podcast Munch My Benson, which is 220 episodes in and counting: BlueSky, Instagram, Facebook, Threads, and Twitter His personal social media accounts are: Twitter and BlueSkyAll music in the show was composed by Divorcio Suave.

Tasha Crawford--half of the inimitable hosting duo of the Law & Order: Special Victims Unit podcast SVU POD: Especially Heinous--joins us this week to expose to the possibility of ruination The Craft, a formative film she loved as a teen. How would this very 1996 film play in 2024? Would its racism both on and off camera shock? Would the form of feminism it purports to wield play today? Despite having the largest diving team in the country by more than a score of athletes, did it hew close enough to high school of the '90s to pass the smell test? Was the cringiest aspect of the film what Tasha expected, or did it come from a different area altogether? Most importantly, would The Craft still be a movie Tasha could enjoy in her [age redacted]?The Craft is currently streaming on Max or can be rented on most VOD platforms for $3.99. Or you could just search for the film's name and full movie and find it pretty easily...Tasha's podcast SVU POD: Especially Heinous can be found at their website and their Patreon along with the following social media pages: Instagram, Facebook, Threads, and TwitterAll music in the show was composed by Divorcio Suave.

Having rewatched the nightmare fuel that is 1985's Return to Oz, we sat back down with our special guest, Max Rieper, the managing editor for Royals Review, who contrary to his peers not only loved this film as a child but felt this film was superior to its predecessor The Wizard of Oz because it was more faithful to the L. Frank Baum books. That it was darker and bleaker didn't bother young Max, but how would its vision of the Land of Oz and its new traveling companions for a much younger Dorothy (played by a Fairuza Balk who enjoyed her 10th birthday while shooting this film) play to a grown-up Max? And if the test of time ended up being cruel to Return to Oz, how would it play to Max's memories of a very strange film? Was his recall on point or were there gaping holes in what he remembered the film being, having not seen it in more than 35 years?Return to Oz is available to stream for free in the US on Disney+.Max can be found at Royals Review and manages its social media accounts: Twitter, Facebook, BlueSkyAll music in the show was composed by Divorcio Suave.

Having rewatched the 1987 Jon Cryer star vehicle Hiding Out, we sit back down with our special guest, professor of modern Middle Eastern history Brian Mann to peer deep into the soul of eight-year-old Brian to divine what it was about this tale of a nearly 30-year-old stockbroker on the run from the mob embedding himself in a Delaware High School and doing everything he can to stop himself from bedding a high school girl who he ultimately follows to college. Tip your cap to the '80s?

This week we jumped on The Beastmaster train with writer and musician Jeremy Steen and got a helluva ride. Did Jeremy's passion for this film influence his dietary practices? Does he still feel comfortable being known as a "Beastmaster guy" to anyone who's seen his framed Beastmaster poster? Has his shipment of body oil come in yet?

In this latest foray into the Unkind Rewind, we get to know writer and musician Jeremy Steen. Way before he was fronting or playing bass in bands in Austin or having his work published at the Oxford American and various literary journals, Jeremy had a passion for a film which may or may not have influenced his dietary practices and which definitely instilled in him a love of a certain strange domesticated animal--a love we'll have to wait until after next week's episode and see if he'll be taking to a whole new level by bringing one of those cute little critters home to live with him.Next week's film (you'll have to listen to discover what it is) is presently available to stream for free in the US on Prime.

In this Main Event, we get back together with best-selling sci-fi author Daniel H. Wilson (Robopocalypse and Robogenesis and the Michael Crichton sequel The Andromeda Evolution) to revisit a staple of his childhood that was surprisingly scary today, The Gate. Starring a very young Stephen Dorff, along with an eventual Satanist, Kenny Powers's SIL, and an actress creepily sexualized, this entry in the horror-targeted-at-tweens subgenre had some serious special effects bonafides despite one's assumptions given its era. It also left Daniel impressed that he was able to withstand its scares as a child, which is all the more surprising when hearing that it was supposed to be MUCH harsher than the finished product ended up being.The Gate is presently available to stream for free in the US on Tubi, Prime, Plex, and The Roku Channel. And a brand new Vestron Steelbook Special Edition Blu-Ray was just released on May 14, 2024, exclusive to Wal-Mart.Daniel H. Wilson can be reached via his website: https://www.danielhwilson.com/You can follow his author page on Facebook for any Daniel H. Wilson news.And keep your eyes peeled for his upcoming novel courtesy of Doubleday, titled Heliopause, which should hit shelves late in 2024 or early in 2025.

In this lively installment of the Unkind Rewind, we get to know roboticist, author, and TV host Daniel H. Wilson. Before he wrote best-selling novels like Robopocalypse and Robogenesis and the Michael Crichton sequel The Andromeda Evolution, Daniel got into some mischief for which we assume the statute of limitations has run out on and is probably safe for broadcast. Tune in for stories revolving around church busing, kids on motorcycles, and hijacking phone lines to call in to the DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince 1-900 number, stay for the preliminary discussion of a youth-oriented horror film about to get a Steelbook Vestron Video Blu-Ray release.Next week's film (you'll have to listen to discover what it is) is presently available to stream for free in the US on Tubi, Prime, Plex, and The Roku Channel.Daniel H.

After 35 years separated from the cool comfort of the high-water mark of the Geriatric Renaissance, 1985's Ron Howard geezer pleaser Cocoon, how would our special guest Peter Johansen react to being utterly surprised by a solid 60% of the movie? How would being the exact age of one of the "septuagenarians" in the film play to him? Would the extreme horniness of this film about the Greatest Generation, the aliens who inhabited Atlantis, and a down-on-his-luck fisherman catch him off guard?

We sat down with LA Weekly/Village Voice film reviewer Chad Byrnes and dove into the borderline traumatic childhood viewing experience that was seeing Firstborn--a cautionary tale about letting pinball, cocaine, Coleman grills (and Big Charcoal, by proxy), and Peter Weller into your single-parent home--in the movie theater with his divorcée mother. We also celebrate the creative forces that were Peter Weller, Michael Apted, Teri Garr, and Corey Haim, while wondering what happened to Christopher Collet, all of whom were great in this 1984 heightened family trauma drama. Come for the discussion of seeing a movie with your mom that traumatized you both, stay for tons of talk praising Corey Haim, speculation that RoboCop derailed Peter Weller's acting career, and the offer of unequivocal proof that Sam was lying about his baseball-playing past.Chad can be found online at: InstagramChad's work can be found at: The Village Voice and LA Weekly.

We are joined by Chad Byrnes, film reviewer at The Village Voice and LA Weekly and all-around righteous dude, to discuss his personal history with a mostly forgotten cautionary family drama that reaches a fairly terrifying fever pitch by the end, which he's not seen in ages. As a child of divorce at the time, the movie we'll be watching for next week may not have been the best movie to see with his mother, but that's what happened to Chad, which we dig into a bit here before we head off to watch the film before next week's Main Event.Chad can be found online at: Instagram Chad's work can be found at: The Village Voice and LA WeeklyAll music in the show was composed by Divorcio Suave.Josh Duggan and Adam Schwitters can also be heard on their seminal Law & Order: SVU podcast, Munch My Benson.Play CineQuote, your daily movie quote trivia game which Sean McGrath co-created.

What would our guest Leon Henderson Jr make of his return to the 1986 genre mashup Night of the Creeps? Would the countless influences worn on its sleeve wear out their welcome? Did he wish he could have a roommate as generous and giving as J.C., who was surely given those initials for his Christ-like self-sacrifice? Was Leon's household solely responsible for its strong Midwestern showing on the home video rental market? Was he thrilled, as Detective Cameron would have wanted?

Having rewatched Labyrinth, we sat back down with Kay from the F**k My Work Life Podcast to see how her fond memories of the film fared upon seeing the film again for the first time in decades. Did David Bowie's junk in tights titillate? Were there plot points that horrified her? Were there elements of the love story that were wildly inappropriate in retrospect? The answers to those and so many other questions lie within this episode.Kay's podcast, F**k My Work Life, can and should be listened to often on Apple Podcasts, Buzzsprout, Spotify, and virtually every other podcast platform.
