The Rewinders Podcast rewinds - and reboots - movies from the 80s and 90s that we watched as kids. We talk about what is remembered and felt about it as a child. Then, we determine if the movie still holds up. In between that we sing, make jokes, and act dumb in general. Current hosts of the Podcast are Joe, Ken, Andy, and Dan. Movies are reviewed on a bi-weekly basis and are released on Monday mornings.

This episode does not explore a movie from the 80s or 90s - but a modern Netflix show that Joe was excited to watch.
Previews fluttered the heart of Cyberpunk fans (or at least Joe) with bright lights, cybernetics, and sprawling mega cities.
But, will the story keep a Cyberpunk fan interested through the full season of Altered Carbon?
Joe discusses his thoughts and if this show delivers the goods for Cyberpunk fans that have been in a drought.

Fievel is a young Russian mouse separated from his parents on the way to America, a land they think is without cats. When he arrives alone in the New World, he keeps up hope, searching for his family, making new friends, and running and dodging the cats he thought he'd be rid off.

Gene Wilder takes vengeance out on children who need moral lessons taught to them. I guess, in that aspect, those lessons may have been taken too far... or not far enough?
The dark factory across town that has been inactive for a long long time suddenly starts running again. If that is not creepy, the fact that it is making chocolate would probably be even more creepy.
Now the mainstream media is going nuts over golden tickets for children to tour the factory that NOBODY GOES IN, AND NOBODY COMES OUT... that isn't creepy
Now add a 30 year old swooning kids with singing and chocolate and the creep factor blows through the glass ceiling like a WONKAVATOR!
Lee and Joe work through some childhood trauma and discuss if the film still holds up.

This movie proves the ole adage "its not the size of the Nelwyn that matters, its how the Nelwyn uses it."
Willow, like the hobbits from Lord of the Rings, is like the Spanish Inquisition - no one expects him... or treats him as a threat until its too late. Using that, along side crazy Madmartigan and his red-headed sweatie, Queen Bavmorda's daughter, Sorsha - the good guys end up saving the day.
But this is a Lucasfilm movie, so expect pandering to children... forced comedy duos... silliness to break up anything scary and the such.
Join Lee and Joe as they discuss their Daikini lifestyle and if the film still holds up.
