Rewind, Rethink is the podcast where two movie nerds Alice and Saj revisit old movies and ask: do they still hold up? Each week, they break down a film through a modern lens, unpacking its themes, cast, and storylines—seeing what stands the test of time and what really badly. Expect sharp takes, plenty of debate, and a close watch on that Bechdel Test as they rewind, rethink, and sometimes regret pressing play.

    Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles (1994)

    This week on Rewind, Rethink, we sink our teeth into Interview with the Vampire. Alice is living for the lush sets, and over-the-top gothic glamour… while Saj is convinced this was Cruise and Pitt’s most embarrassing career choice. We chat camp, queer undertones, Kirsten Dunst (the best thing about the film), and why this movie is somehow both ridiculous and iconic.

    The Stepford Wives (1975)

    This week on Rewind, Rethink, Alice and Saj dive into The Stepford Wives - the glossy suburban nightmare that had a bit of backlash when it came out. What does this film really say about feminism during a decade of upheaval? Why did a story about “perfect wives” spark such a fierce backlash, especially from the very movement it seemed to support. We chat about what the movie says about gender roles at the time, why it sparked such a big backlash, whether its “perfect wife” nightmare still hits today, and if a gender-reversed remake would even work in 2025.

    The Sixth Sense (1999)

    Do you see dead people? Spoiler alert - this creepy little kid sure does. This week on Rewind Rethink, we revisit the twisty classic that made M. Night Shyamalan a household name. Is The Sixth Sense as good as we remember, or has it become a total cringe fest?

    The Exorcist (1973)

    The film that terrified a generation — and definitely scared Saj. This week on Rewind Rethink, we’re revisiting The Exorcist to see if this horror legend still has the power to possess us... or if time has cast out its demons.

    The Big Lebowski

    This week on Rewind Rethink we’re rolling into the world of The Big Lebowski. White Russians, bowling alleys, and a kidnapping plot that barely makes sense—does this cult favourite still abide? Alice and Saj dig into the Dude’s laid-back philosophy, the chaos swirling around him, and whether this oddball Coen brothers classic still deserves its legendary status.

    The 40 Year Old Virgin (2005)

    This week we revisit the comedy that made awkward chest-waxing, action-figure collecting, and painfully honest dating a pop culture moment. Does Judd Apatow’s breakout still hold its charm, or is it stuck in the mid-2000s? We dive into The 40-Year-Old Virgin to see what still lands, what aged poorly, and why Steve Carell became a star.

    Jaws (1975)

    This week we’re diving into the film that made us all afraid to go back in the water Jaws. From Spielberg’s suspenseful direction to that unforgettable score, we revisit the blockbuster that changed cinema forever. But does the shark still bite, or has time dulled its teeth?

    The Notebook (2004)

    This week we revisit The Notebook, the film that defined a generation of love stories. From grand gestures to tearful confessions, we ask if it still makes our hearts race or if time has washed the romance away.
