    Raised by Wolves: Faith, Fear & the Future of Humanity

    In this episode of Rewind, Tony revisits the ambitious sci‑fi series Raised by Wolves, a haunting tale of two androids — Mother and Father — tasked with raising human children on the distant world of Kepler‑22b after Earth collapses under religious war. Though short‑lived, the series carved out a unique space in modern science fiction, blending existential dread with intimate questions about parenting, belief, and what it means to be human. Tony chats with two of the voices who shaped the show’s soul: Aaron Guzikowski — series creator Abubakar Salim — Father, the steadfast caretaker android Kepler‑22b is more than a setting — it’s a crucible. A barren, mysterious landscape where survival is fragile and belief systems collide.  SAVE 17% ON PLUS TODAY

    We Are What We Are: The Planet Hollywood Sit‑Down

    Tony revisits the haunting 2013 Sundance breakout We Are What We Are, a slow‑burn horror drama that redefined the cannibal‑family subgenre with emotional depth and atmospheric dread. The film — now streaming on Netflix, Prime Video, Roku Channel (as of July), Tubi, Fawesome, and Pluto TV — remains a landmark in modern American horror. Tony speaks with the filmmakers and cast who shaped its unsettling world: Nick Damici — co‑writer and cast member Jim Mickle — director Bill Sage — Frank Parker, the patriarch Julia Garner — a rising talent whose performance signaled a major career ahead Set against relentless rain and rural isolation, We Are What We Are follows the Parker family as they cling to a ritualistic, generational secret. Mickle and Damici’s adaptation of the Mexican original transforms the story into a meditation on grief, faith, and the terror of inherited duty. SAVE 17% ON PLUS

    Batman: The Dark Knight Returns - Redemption in a Dystopian Gotham

    Tony revisits the red carpet for Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, the two‑part animated epic directed by Jay Oliva and adapted from Frank Miller’s seminal 1986 comic. Released in 2012 and 2013, the films depict a dystopian Gotham where an aging, battle‑scarred Bruce Wayne, now 55, is forced out of retirement as the city collapses under violence, corruption, and moral decay. Conversations with David Selby (Commissioner Gordon), Jay Oliva, and legendary voice director Andrea Romano capture the creative energy behind a story that reshaped how audiences understand Batman — not as a symbol of youth and invincibility, but as a man confronting time, trauma, and the consequences of a lifetime of war. Setting the Stage: Gotham in Decline Ten years after Batman’s disappearance, Gotham is overrun by the Mutants, a violent gang whose rise symbolizes societal collapse. Bruce Wayne, haunted by the death of Jason Todd, struggles with aging, guilt, and the fading relevance of his mission. The film’s dystopian tone reflects Miller’s original intent: a world where institutions fail, heroes fracture, and morality becomes a battlefield. The Dark Knight Returns is a cornerstone of modern superhero storytelling — a meditation on identity, legacy, and the human cost of heroism.  SAVE 17% ON PLUS

    Clappers and Takes — Episode One

    Indie Sci‑Fi, Horror & Fantasy Spotlight Two indie films that approach fear, identity, and the unknown from completely different angles. One is cosmic terror in the woods; the other is a psychological fantasy that turns romance into revelation. Together, they showcase why indie genre filmmaking remains one of the most daring corners of cinema. Extraterrestrial — Colin Minihan’s Alien Terror in the Trees A cabin getaway becomes a nightmare when a group of friends witness a mysterious crash in the woods. What they find isn’t debris — it’s an alien spacecraft, complete with footprints leading away from the impact site. A conversation with Colin Minihan explores how he built tension from isolation, paranoia, and the fear of breaking a cosmic pact. Minihan’s approach blends classic alien‑abduction dread with indie grit, making Extraterrestrial a standout for fans of grounded sci‑fi horror. Where to watch: Prime Video and Netflix. Reflections — Anthony Khaseria’s Dark Fantasy of Self‑Confrontation A beautiful couple enters a charming café expecting a romantic evening. Instead, they discover a hidden mirror that doesn’t show their ideal selves — it shows the truth they’ve been avoiding. In Reflections, the mirror becomes a portal into a malefic cycle, trapping the couple in a loop where they must confront their inner demons. The film blends fantasy with psychological horror, offering moments that feel almost like a Harry Potter‑style magical reveal, except the magic here exposes unsettling realities rather than wish fulfillment. Khaseria’s award‑winning short uses minimalism, atmosphere, and emotional precision to create a story that lingers long after the final frame. It’s a reminder that fantasy can be intimate — and terrifying — when it turns inward. Where to watch: YouTube   SAVE 17% On PLUS
