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.

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.

Hotshot high school guy, pretty much all of the students love him, (Ferris) decides to take a senior skip day with his friends (Cameron and Sloane). 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.

They do the friends thing for a few years, before they figure out they both like each other. like, like-like each other. You know.
Anyway - they kiss and the movie is over.

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.

Sometimes you get cursed, sure we all do, but sometimes that curse can get pretty weird. In fact, back in ancient Egypt, those curses were at peak weird.
For instance, the curse of turning you into a department store mannequin at night. Good foresight that consumerism would thrust the development of a store that would need fake humans to adorn with clothes to give real humans an idea how it would potentially look on them.
Not sure if I could have come up with that back then.
Lee and Joe have a good chat about this 80s film in depth. Grab a good drink and come along for the ride with them. Does it still hold up? Find out!

Mow that lawn... Get that girl... don't be that nerd - no one wants that! Nerds don't get the girl!
Alright, now you're hip in that speckled, shoulder padded suit coat and white t-shirt. You will get that girl you are pining for now. No worries. Just blackmail the girl and just when she is taking a shine to you - RUIN IT!
Congrats, now you got the girl. Things don't go according to plan in this film, or in this podcast. Listen to the Rewinders Podcast rewind the movie Can't Buy Me Love with all the respect and adoration they can muster and determine if it still holds up.

Nothing is more bonkers than telling adults that this movie is for your children. This movie will give them nightmares - from what I hear from others who have watched this as children. ("not me" says Joe)
Enjoy the beauty of the art styling of Don Bluth and listen to Lee and Joe discuss their history of watching this film. Was Joe really not scared? We'll probably never know at this point.
