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.

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.

Nothing is worse than moving to a cool new town than finding out it is filled with vampires... well, maybe not filled, but they at least exist... AND THEY BOTHER YOU.
Lil Sam Emerson is not going to take his big brother being turned into a vampire sitting down. NO! he will gather his friends, Edgar Frog and Sexy Sax Man to fight the vampires! in his mothers house! Without her permission!
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.

A cursed car delivers pain to its people and itself as much as possible before smashing itself beyond belief.
The poor humans have their own problems that are only accentuated by this bizarre situation. The young boy make so many poor life choices that he should spend at least some time in Teen Prison and the rest of the family suffers because of these decisions.
Learn this young ones. Its never okay to put someone in the trunk of a car if you care for them.

Check out this brown squat of an alien! Check him out, he is from Star Wars country... errr... galaxy... errr something.
Anyway, this ALIEN, gets left behind because he doesn't pay attention at best, at worst - his party doesn't like him. So, at the first sign of danger they run and leave him behind. At least we are told its a him - how the heck are we supposed to know, I AM NOT CHECKING.
Anyway, the alien hones in on a family... and then the family's boy and grooms him for the inevitable butt probing that will most likely come in the sequel. Along the way he ends up getting in with most of the family as well. SUCKERS, they all will end up in a spaceship with metal up their butts if they aren't careful.
The government catches wind of this, and is all like "OH NO, this alien is going to screw this family... That is our job... to screw... the common American family..." never mind. They send the FEDS to steal this squat alien away from children, but the government sucks and can't steal anything even from children without making a HUGE FIASCO over it.
Bikes fly, kids get healed by alien voodoo finger magic - or at least a plant does, and we all learn a lesson in the end. Speak and Spells can conjure aliens from outer space.
Lee and Joe go over NOTHING but the facts when it comes to this movie. No jokes this time... its all super serious. Check it before an alien probes you and determine if the film still holds up.

They technically steal a car, perform fraud, identity theft multiple times, trespass on private property, lie, and incite a dance riot in downtown Chicago and fully get away with it.
Meanwhile, Ferris' sister runs a stop sign while speeding and ends up arrested and ticketed.
Life just isn't fair man... specially if you are the principal Edward Rooney.

Ye ole siren song calls to men of the sea to jump overboard and drown themselves.
Then, you get the reverse sirens that find drowning people and rescue them.
I can tell you, first hand... you never know which one you will get when you hear the call. Folks, those sirens can be mean - see you already drowning and drown you harder. NO ONE NEEDS THAT! At least getting coerced into leaping over board by a song and some suggestive clothing is somewhat romantic. At least your children and grandchildren have a story - if you have those things. Otherwise, no worries how you bite it - no one is going to remember you in a handful of years anyway.
SPASH is a romantic comedy that leads a young boy to meat a cute fish-girl after he tries to drown himself so he doesn't have to hear another verse of Wooly Bully. This encounter takes over his life until they meet again in New York city.
Non-sense ensues.
Follow the non-sense of Lee and Joe as they discuss this 80's rom-com and determine if it still holds up.
