2026/09/15

Hello there! What is it about Star Wars that makes people keep coming back to it decades later?For some people, it's as simple as Luke Skywalker being a childhood hero. For others, it's the music, the spaceships, the worlds, the battles or simply the memories of discovering those films as a kid. And then there are the things that are much harder to explain.In this special episode of Rewind Classic Movies, GB is joined by Jody Martin and Rick Martin from the Now That's What I Call DAMN Good Music

2026/09/08

In this episode ofFast Forward, GB and AJ tackle one of cinema's most dangerous subjects: movie remakes. Following on from our recent discussion aboutClash of the Titans, we're looking at ten examples of remakes, reboots and reimaginings that, for one reason or another, failed to live up to what came before.But there's an important distinction to make.Calling something one of theworst movie remakesdoesn't necessarily mean we think it's an objectively terrible film. A remake can be perfectly

This week, GB and AJ head back to 1981 forClash of the Titans, the final feature film from legendary stop-motion pioneer Ray Harryhausen.With Laurence Olivier, Maggie Smith, Burgess Meredith and Ursula Andress (sort of) delivering grand, Shakespearean dialogue about gods, destiny, honour and death, while giant scorpions, Medusa, a mechanical owl and a bloody great sea monster wander around in the background, this is a fantasy film unlike anything else.AJ watchesClash of the Titansfor the first time,

We’re heading back to Neverland for Steven Spielberg’sHook (1991)- a film we both loved as kids, but which hits very differently when you watch it as an adult.Dustin Hoffman gives us one of the great pantomime villains as Captain Hook.But beneath the flying, pirates and imaginary food fights, Hook is surprisingly packed with darker ideas about growing up, parenthood, work, ageing and losing touch with your imagination.And then there’s the weird stuff.We uncover theMichael Jackson Hook musical that

The scheduled Rewind of Hook should hopefully arrive next week), GB digs into films recommended by the Rewind Patreon community - movies that our listeners think deserve to be watched, rewatched or simply remembered.And the

GB and AJ are back with another Fast Forward - this time following up last week's deep dive into the 1984 Helen Slater Supergirl with a look at the all-new 2026 version starring Milly Alcock.There's a twist, though. Only one of them has actually seen the new film. The other did go to the cinema this week - just not to see Supergirl.Instead, AJ caught the new Spielberg movie, Disclosure Day, with the family and the pair have thoughts on John Williams, the state of cinema-going, and why sneaking in a

To celebrate (?!) the release of the all-new Supergirl (Milly Alcock) in 2026, we decided, perhaps foolishly, to Rewind the 1984 original, starring Helen Slater.GB goes into it full of admiration for the woman who defined his preferences for the female species, while AJ has never seen it before (shocker - lucky git).Will GB see it in an objective light? What will AJ make of the bonkers plot and characters?!If you can't face rewatching this movie, then maybe just tune in for our look back.Next week:

Is it a cheap Star Wars knock-off? Is it something else entirely?Grab your power sword, because GB
