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.

In the 1980s we had the perfect law enforcement, and it was given to Detroit.
ROBOCOP!
Sure, it took an officer getting shot 2 bazillion times before he could be honed/cast/built/programmed/interfaced... er whatever. BUT. IT. WAS. DONE.
This is the deepest dive into a movie The Rewinders Podcast has done to date (April 18th, 2020). This is only part 2 of 3. A collection of podcasts going over almost every detail to an obscene level.
They follow Murphy from his first day on the force - to the day he was given permission to override his prime directives.
Come along on this journey through blood, mayhem, and dark humor with Lee and Joe to unveil if Robocop still holds up.

Here is your stereotype of Australians... they wrestle crocodiles, have large knives, leathery skin, and kangaroos drinking Fosters.
The lady from New York City, Sue Charlton, goes to the Australian outback to meet Mick Dundee who survived a crocodile attack and crawled back to safety. Its a wacky, fish out of water adventure.
THEN... Mick Dundee is invited back to New York City... and the fish out of water situation FLIPS!
Laughs are had... shrimps are put on the barbie.... and wahwahwahwahwahwahwahwah... boomerrangs.
Finally, after all that, Lee and Joe discuss if this film holds up.

Evil Genius, Rick Moranis, creates a HUGE laser in his attic designed to MURDER... but keeps telling people its really for shrinking... because that is what Evil Geniuses do. He also is a bad parent who creates doomsday devices in his family home instead of getting a lair, like a REAL MAD SCIENTIST! Anyway, his kids screw up the machine by smashing it with a baseball, and instead of killing them, like it should, the laser shrinks the kids instead.
From there its projected backgrounds and overly large props until they are blown back up to regular size... and maybe some ant erotica - its been awhile since I watched this...
Lee and Joe take a bite out of this unexpected Disney hit of a film and let you know if it still holds up!

You just listen to the old Pork Chop Express here now and take his advice on a dark and stormy night when the lightning's crashin' and the thunder's rollin' and the rain's coming down in sheets thick as lead. Just remember what old Jack Burton does when the earth quakes, and the poison arrows fall from the sky, and the pillars of Heaven shake. Yeah, Jack Burton just looks that big old storm right square in the eye and he says, "Give me your best shot, pal. I can take it."
Lee and Joe remember their childhood interpretations of this film and determine if it still holds up.

Never let a big stinky animal man into your house... let alone without pants on - EVEN IF THE FUR COVERS THE NO-NO BITS.
Harry and the Hendersons is a movie that just doesn't care about the stuff between getting a Sasquatch from a forest into a family's home - and then exploiting any non-sense along the way for chuckles. Almost everything other than Sasquatch time is wasted time in this adventure.
This movie stretches Lee's ability to cope with its fiction at every step. Listen for the accurate depiction of the film in all its clumsy, harry, prat-fallness glory.
Then, stick around to find out if this film, which spurred a TV series, holds up after all this time.

High Adventure, Hilarity, and Hooligans - that is the 1985 film, The Goonies!
A staple film for young boys in the 80s, where a group of boys, cuz no girls allowed, go on a last adventure before having to move away... or at least out of their house. This adventure has them cross paths with dangerous criminals, booty traps, and pirate gold!
Lee and Joe reminiscence over one of their favorite childhood films while letting you know if the film still holds up.

Ooooooh man, it gets SERIOUS.
meanwhile, Michael Emerson just wants to date/kiss/make out/etc with a girl named Star. Listen, Michael... if her name is Star she probably isn't vaccinated and only eats peaches - be careful my man.
OH WAIT - Star is in the vampire group, and big bad Lee-Roy DAVID is not going to take this situation without sinking his teeth into something... something like Michael.
Natalie Joins Lee and Joe as they discuss just how sexy Sexy Sax Man is and if the movie truly stands up.
