Remember Captain Planet? Think carefully– you may not remember it as well as you think. For instance, I did not remember that Captain Planet traveled back in time and met Hitler. I remembered Captain Planet dealing with mainly environmental problems– … Continue reading →
You loved the game, surely you’ll love the movie, right? Well, for 10-year-old me back in 1993, the answer was simply “Hell no!” Super Mario Bros. diverges wildly from the video game (it looks like an elementary school production of … Continue reading →
Remember back in the ’80s when computers were magic? You know, scanners had cloning capability, teenagers were able to hack into secret government databases, that kind of thing. Weird Science is John Hughes’ throwback to the EC Comics anthology of … Continue reading →
Happy DIE HARD day! Or, in other words, Merry Christmas! A lot of people don’t consider DIE HARD to be a Christmas movie, but we here at Rewatchabilty believe it deserves its place among classics such as Miracle on 34th … Continue reading →
TaleWe count down our top 5 Christmas-themed TV episodes! If you’ve been nice and not naughty, reward yourself with this extra long, extra long-winded episode! Our full lists are below, with links whenever available. Don’t forget to check back on … Continue reading →
Nothing brings a father and son closer together than manslaughter. I think that’s the moral of The Santa Clause, the 1994 Disney picture in which Tim Allen kills jolly old St. Nick, becomes cursed by some kind of ancient elfin … Continue reading →
For the first of our holiday-themed episodes we discuss Star Wars… not the classic film, but the poorly conceived, badly-executed 1978 Christmas special. And by Christmas, I mean Life Day– the annual Wookie celebration of, well, Life I guess. It’s … Continue reading →
This week on Rewatchability– we re-watched 1979′s The Muppet Movie and watched for the first time The Muppets, the re-boot of Jim Henson’s beloved franchise starring and co-written by Jason Segel. They share more similarities than differences, actually. We talk … Continue reading →
Lundgren… Langella… Cox… and Billy Barty as Gwildor… Yup, you heard me, Gwildor… It’s Masters of the Universe! Rob mounts a stirring defense, heralding the film as a classic– but the others are not easily convinced. Is Masters of the … Continue reading →
In an uncharacteristically positive episode of Rewatchability, we extol the virtues of The Cable Guy, the 1996 dark comedy starring Jim Carrey, and directed by a pre-Night at the Museum, post-Reality Bites Ben Stiller. Though critically panned at the time, … Continue reading →
Well, are you? Not anymore… but there was a time when this show was legitimately scary. It also helped launch the careers of actors like Ryan Gosling, Neve Campbell, and Elisha Cuthbert. Though it may be a bit silly now, … Continue reading →
Cats getting hit by cars, zombies with their mouths sewn shut, nymphomaniac witches, Bette Midler. Doesn’t it all sound a little intense for a Disney film? Not in 1993 it didn’t; Hocus Pocus was originally slated to be a TV … Continue reading →
Nicholson vs Weber. Duvall vs De Mornay. Kubrick vs the guy who wrote Hocus Pocus. Okay, so maybe it’s not the most fair fight, but nevertheless, this week on Rewatchability we compare the 1980 horror classic The Shining with the … Continue reading →
Hopkins. Baldwin. Bart the Bear. Michael from Lost. Yes it’s The Edge, the David Mamet-scripted suspense yarn from 1997. This movie is so full of testosterone it makes Glengarry Glen Ross look like The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. It … Continue reading →
An Academy Award-winning Knight directed it. An Emmy-winning Doctor starred in it. Also it has that guy that played Bobby on Twin Peaks… Roger Ebert called it a “desperately unfunny film” but those of us who saw it as kids … Continue reading →
