    Halloween Special Edition

    Episode 13: Playing the part

    Two con movies and one Saturday detention. This week, Mike revisits Catch Me If You Can, Focus, and The Breakfast Club—three movies that look like they have no business sharing the same episode. Along the way, he digs into little-known trivia, behind-the-scenes stories, and what still works years later. But there’s something hiding underneath all three movies—one idea that quietly connects Frank Abagnale, Nicky and Jess, and five kids stuck in a library. The answer doesn’t reveal itself until the Spoiler Zone.

    Episode 12: The Setup; Fear • Wild Things • Game Night

    A teenage romance, a tangled Florida scandal, and a game night that goes completely off the rails. Join Mike Bashara for Episode 12 of Rewind, Recline & Review as he digs into Fear, Wild Things, and Game Night, with fun trivia, a little sarcasm, and plenty of reasons to question everyone’s intentions. Stick around for the spoiler zone, where “The Setup” brings all three together.

    Episode 11: Dangerous information

    This week on Rewind, Recline & Review, we’re diving into Eagle Eye, Enemy of the State, and The Beach—three movies where knowing the wrong thing can get complicated fast. From rogue technology and government surveillance to a secret island nobody is supposed to find, these movies may look completely different on the surface. But by the end, one connection brings all three together: information, who controls it, and what happens once it gets out.

    Episode 10: “Read the Room” Molly's Game • Rounders • Weird Science

    What do a high-stakes poker empire, an underground card room, and two teenagers with a computer have in common? Mike revisits Molly’s Game, Rounders, and Weird Science—three movies filled with ambition, confidence, questionable decisions, and people trying to become something more. The connection may sound like a bluff, but by the end, it all makes sense.

    Episode 9: 2012 Armageddon Falling Down. Everything Fall Apart

    This week on Rewind, Recline & Review, I’m revisiting 2012, Armageddon, and Falling Down—two movies where the world is literally falling apart, and one where it just feels that way to one man stuck in traffic. We’ll get into the spectacle, the emotion, the absurdity, some great behind-the-scenes stories, and why these three movies actually belong together. The connection stays hidden until the end.

    This week on Rewind, Recline & Review, we’re talking The Truman Show, The Shawshank Redemption, and Speed — three completely different movies connected by people trapped inside someone else’s rules and looking for a way out. From Seahaven to Shawshank to a bus that absolutely cannot slow down, we dig into the movies, the behind-the-scenes stories, and the surprising connection that ties them all together.
