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.

The guys at The Rewinders Podcast have finished traveling through time from 1536 to 1986 -- from the Scottish Highlands to the part of New York City that has so many metal pipes people use them for weapons. Along the way, a few people lost their head for whatever reason... but others kept their calm and remained to make it to The Gathering... sort of... but not really... it was more like a two person gig in the end.
Did the guys think that the movie should have its own head removed, or did they feel like it has withstood the test of time? AND, what of the talks of a reboot?! All of this a more in this episode of The Rewinders Podcast!
2:34 - The Rewinders Podcast episode begins.

"You cannot understand my disdain for this movie unless you know my anger about what happened to Star Wars" - Ken (one of the hosts of The Rewinders Podcast)
In one of the most meandering episodes of the The Rewinders Podcast, the hosts talk about this Disney animation gem - and what it meant to them as children... and how it feels today.
Within the "Reboot" theme of this part of season 3, Disney's Robin Hood is discussed over its Disney+ exclusive reboot plan.
This Robin Hood movie is not only animated, but has animals instead of people. Animals that think that they are people! This is what the world would look like if they just evolved with opposable thumbs, so they could use bows, swords, lutes, and choke their snakes.
(why does my browser insist the word opposable is spelled wrong? Its making me nervous!)
Anyway, its a movie most of the hosts have been watching for years, if not most of their lives. See if they think it still holds up!

Crows love vengeance - FACT.
This particular crow finds a guy who has had his life literally destroyed by a small gang on Devil's Night. So, like any good crow out for vengeance... it waits a year to bring this dude back to life... A YEAR. Imagine being dead for a year... well, we have very little information on how that would feel... but imagine, and then being given some life back to crawl out of your grave for the pure motivation of MUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRDDDDDDERRRRRRRRRRR
Oh yeah, and the bird picks a rainy day - so you get sick immediately - maybe... unless super crow powers keep you from getting sick.
Aaaaaannnnnyway - crow whispers murder to you and you murder. Then die again.... IN THE RAIN. GAH! at least a pretty lady in white will kiss you into the sweet embrace of your second death.
Joe, Ken, Andy, and Dan discus the 90s action hit - The Crow. Does it still hold up? Listen and find out!
Or listen and get bummed out... thanks Joe!

Its the FUTURE... but the future is the past, specifically 1997. And the FUTURE is FULL OF CRIME. So much crime, in fact, that Manhattan is walled off and turned into the United States' version of early Australia... a prison island.
By complete coincidence, the president is crashed into this mega, super secure, never escape prison - at around the same time - SUPER CRIMINAL and possible War Hero, Snake Plissken arrives to be imprisoned and is tasked to retrieve the president to earn his freedom, AND LIFE! (were there too many commas in that last sentence? too bad)
Snake goes in - wanders around, asks if anyone has seen the president before being chased by cannibals for a short period of time. He finds an old acquaintance in this prison who helps him get to the president, but is snitched on... again.
In the end, a bunch of stuff happens - and Snake gets the president out, but it takes fighting in a weird wrestling match, driving over a bridge filled with mines, chased by "the Duke" who runs the society in this prison, and do it all within the amount of time given before his neck blows up.
Joe, Ken, Andy, and Dan talk about this film and its possible reboot that has been in the rumor mill. Is the film good? Is it a product of its time and budget? Does Plissken live on in video game form?
Come and listen!

This description needs input... NEEDS INPUT!
**inserts input**
A prototype robot receives a surge of power from a lightening strike and instead of melting down - becomes sentient. Then ravages a small home of kittens to declare what everything is in accordance to the encyclopedia.
Steve Guttenberg and Ally Sheedy head up this "wacky" adventure of a robot just trying to be himself in the world... a world full of people who consider him: Just a Machine... A Killer Robot... Reward... etc.
Get taken on an adventure of one liners - that you will remember about 1/3 of really well, and the rest will be lost to the recesses of your brain that just can't make room for that jazz anymore.
The Rewinders Podcast take their 3rd stab at a recording of this episode (due to technical difficulties of the first time recording over the internet)... but they still manage to spread the virtues and pitfalls of this 1986 film - and discuss the possibility of a reboot (that has been discussed a few times in the recent past).
