STAR WARS: EPISODE IV - A NEW HOPE (Part 2/2)
We're back in a galaxy far, far away!In Part 2 of our look at Star Wars: A New Hope (1977), GB and AJ pick up where we left off and dive into everything from the Death Star escape and the final trench run to some of the film's most memorable scenes, lines and characters (and a terrible ending?!?).Why has Star Wars remained so beloved nearly 50 years later? We discuss the magic behind the f
STAR WARS: EPISODE IV - A NEW HOPE (Part 1/2)
We've finally done it. After two seasons of Rewind Classic Movies, GB and AJ sit down to talk about one of the most important films in cinema history: Star Wars.But there's a slight problem.GB has seen it hundreds of times. AJ … hasn't.So what happens when a lifelong Star Wars fan sits down with someone who knows the cultural references but is still getting C-3PO mixed up with R2-D2?Quite a lot, a
WHY WE LOVE STAR WARS
Hello there! What is it about Star Wars that makes people keep coming back to it decades later?For some people, it's as simple as Luke Skywalker being a childhood hero. For others, it's the music, the spaceships, the worlds, the battles or simply the memories of discovering those films as a kid. And then there are the things that are much harder to explain.In this special episode of Rewind Classic
THE 10 WORST MOVIE REMAKES EVER MADE
In this episode of Fast Forward, GB and AJ tackle one of cinema's most dangerous subjects: movie remakes. Following on from our recent discussion about Clash of the Titans, we're looking at ten examples of remakes, reboots and reimaginings that, for one reason or another, failed to live up to what came before.But there's an important distinction to make.Calling something one of the
CLASH OF THE TITANS (1981): Shakespeare with Monsters But No Titans?!
This week, GB and AJ head back to 1981 for Clash of the Titans, the final feature film from legendary stop-motion pioneer Ray Harryhausen.With Laurence Olivier, Maggie Smith, Burgess Meredith and Ursula Andress (sort of) delivering grand, Shakespearean dialogue about gods, destiny, honour and death, while giant scorpions, Medusa, a mechanical owl and a bloody great sea monster wander around i
THE BIGGEST MOVIES OF 1991
1991 was one hell of a year for movies.In this episode of Fast Forward, GB and AJ count down its ten highest-grossing films - from huge blockbusters and Disney favourites to comedies, thrillers and some films that might surprise you by making the list.But this isn't just a box-office countdown.Along the way, we get into childhood memories of discovering spoof movies, debate whether one of the
HOOK (1991): Mermaid 3-way, Michael Jackson's musical and a gay Captain?
We’re heading back to Neverland for Steven Spielberg’s Hook (1991) - a film we both loved as kids, but which hits very differently when you watch it as an adult.Dustin Hoffman gives us one of the great pantomime villains as Captain Hook.But beneath the flying, pirates and imaginary food fights, Hook is surprisingly packed with darker ideas about growing up, parenthood, work, ageing and l
MOVIES YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE MISSED: 6 Patreon Picks
What makes a movie underrated? Does it have to be obscure, forgotten, critically dismissed or a box-office failure? Or can a hugely successful film simply deserve a little more love?In this special episode of Rewind Classic Movies (due to AJ being trapped on a shipping container. The scheduled Rewind of Hook should hopefully arrive next week), GB digs into films recommended by the Rewind Patr
TOP 10 MOVIE VILLAINS: Blofeld, Boddicker & Other Bad Guys (+Girls)
From unforgettable masterminds to terrifying monsters, cinema has given us no shortage of villains who have stayed with audiences long after the credits rolled.But what separates a truly great movie villain from simply a bad person? Is it intelligence, charisma, menace, or something much harder to define?In this episode of Fast Forward, we follow up our discussion of Batman (1989) b
BATMAN (1989) 2/2: Prince, Rhubarb & A Simple Showdown

2026 SUPERGIRL: An S-Tier Start! (+ Spielberg's Disclosure Day)
GB and AJ are back with another Fast Forward - this time following up last week's deep dive into the 1984 Helen Slater Supergirl with a look at the all-new 2026 version starring Milly Alcock.There's a twist, though. Only one of them has actually seen the new film. The other did go to the cinema this week - just not to see Supergirl.Instead, AJ caught the new Spielberg movie, Disclosure Day, with t
SUPERGIRL (1984): Careless Kara, Creeps & Coconuts
To celebrate (?!) the release of the all-new Supergirl (Milly Alcock) in 2026, we decided, perhaps foolishly, to Rewind the 1984 original, starring Helen Slater.GB goes into it full of admiration for the woman who defined his preferences for the female species, while AJ has never seen it before (shocker - lucky git).Will GB see it in an objective light? What will AJ make of the bonkers plot and ch

MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE (1987): Scariest Skeletor & Synths!
By the power of Grayskull… they actually made this thing!This week GB and AJ are rewinding one of the most gloriously chaotic productions of the 1980s - a film that cost more than Robocop, made less than it spent, helped sink an entire studio, and somehow still managed to capture the hearts of a generation of kids who grew up watching it on dodgy recorded VHS tapes.Is it the He-Man movie fans dese
THE BEST MOVIE CAMEOS: Disguises, Surprises and Tom Cruises

PLANES, TRAINS & AUTOMOBILES (1987): Strangers, Showers and Sobbing
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 H

THE LOST BOYS (1987): MTV Vampires, Sexy Saxman & An Iconic Soundtrack

DISNEY'S BLACK HOLE (1979): Walt's Darkest Movie & An Unhinged Ending!
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.

MISSION IMPOSSIBLE 2 (2000): Slow Mo, Birds & Too Many Masks

ROLAND EMMERICH: Stargate Sequels, Alien Prison & Bond?!
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 f

THE RUNNING MAN (1987): Arnie, One Liners & An 80s Future
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 f
BOND 1997-2021: Bad Brosnan & Cold Craig
