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 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.
