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 tangent, make jokes, and act dumb in general. Current hosts of the Podcast are Joe, Ken, Andy, and Dan. Movies are reviewed on a monthly basis and are usually released on Monday mornings.

and of course he sort of develops a little thing for her. and just like every man ever - holds on to that thing for the rest of his life so he seeks her out after his marriage falls apart.
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!
