27 JUN 2024 · 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+.

20 JUN 2024 · After Sean tells of a harrowing trip to the cinema, we sit down with our very special guest for this week and next, Max Rieper, the managing editor for Royals Review, to take a trip down memory lane and discuss his childhood standing on an island loving this next film.

13 JUN 2024 · 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.

6 JUN 2024 · This week, Josh and Sean dig into the past of modern Middle Eastern history professor, Brian Mann, getting down to brass tacks on an entry in a certain star actor's canon who truly resonated with Brian when he was peaking in life in late elementary school. Brian tells of his childhood adoration of the star of next week's film and hopes upon hope that revisiting this cherished memory doesn't ruin the entirety of his childhood for the sake of content for this podcast.  Next week's main event is available to stream for free in the US on Prime Video with Ads.

30 MAY 2024 · 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? Did this rekindle his love of ferrets so much that he'll be taking that love to a whole new level by bringing one of those cute little critters home to live with him?

23 MAY 2024 · 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.

16 MAY 2024 · 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, https://www.walmart.com/ip/The-Gate-Steelbook-Walmart-Exclusive-Blu-Ray-Digital-Copy/5493766087. Daniel H. Wilson can be reached via his website: https://www.danielhwilson.com/ You can follow https://www.facebook.com/OfficialDanielHWilson 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.  All music in the show was composed by Divorcio Suave.  Josh Duggan can also be heard with his co-host Adam Schwitters on the seminal Law & Order: SVU podcast, https://munchmybenson.com/.

9 MAY 2024 · 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.

2 MAY 2024 · 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?

25 APR 2024 · Sit right back and get to know our next guest, jack of all trades Peter Johansen, as he laughs about being defined by something new, reminisces about kicking other kids out of "his seat" at the local movie theater, and surmises that he surely cried when he saw our next selection and will likely shed at least one more tear when we watch it for next week.
