    Sneakers (1992) | Episode 13

    Episode 13 of Friday Night Rewind cracks open Sneakers (1992), the ridiculously stacked techno-thriller starring Robert Redford, Sidney Poitier, Dan Aykroyd, River Phoenix, Mary McDonnell, David Strathairn, and Ben Kingsley. We’re talking about why this movie still works, the chemistry of that incredible ensemble, its weirdly prescient take on technology, privacy, surveillance, and information—and why Sneakers deserves a much bigger place in the conversation about great ’90s movies. Plus: the usual tangents, arguments, nostalgia, and two Short Kings trying to figure out how a movie from 1992 managed to see so much of our future coming. 🎙️ Friday Night Rewind — Celebrating the movies that raised us, and helping you discover your next favorite film.

    Galaxy Quest (1999) | Episode 12

    Galaxy Quest somehow pulled off the impossible: it lovingly mocked Star Trek, fandom, conventions, washed-up actors, and sci-fi clichés — while becoming a genuinely great sci-fi movie in its own right. This week on Friday Night Rewind, Jason and Scott rewind the 1999 cult classic starring Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver, Alan Rickman, Sam Rockwell, Tony Shalhoub, and an absolutely loaded supporting cast. We get into the movie’s relationship with Star Trek and its fans, the Thermians, Alan Rickman’s incredible Alexander Dane, Guy Fleegman’s fear of being the expendable crew member, the practical effects and creature work, why CGI doesn’t impress us the way it used to, and the surprising amount of heart underneath all the comedy. Plus, we tackle the question that has started more arguments than it probably should: Is Galaxy Quest actually one of the best Star Trek movies ever made? Never give up. Never surrender. 🎬 Friday Night Rewind Two Short Kings. One Big Film Pod.

    🎬 Why Practical Effects Are Dominating CGI Again — Episode 12 Preview (Galaxy Quest)

    Never give up. Never surrender. This week, Friday Night Rewind is celebrating Galaxy Quest, the 1999 sci-fi comedy that somehow became both one of the funniest Star Trek spoofs ever made and a genuinely great science-fiction adventure in its own right. Jason and Scott revisit Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver, Alan Rickman, Sam Rockwell, Tony Shalhoub and the incredible ensemble cast, the movie’s affectionate relationship with Star Trek and fandom, its hilarious Thermians, the genius of Alexander Dane, Guy Fleegman’s fear of becoming the expendable crew member, and the moments where Galaxy Quest stops parodying Star Trek and starts becoming the real thing. We also get into the movie’s practical effects, models, costumes and creature work; the rise of CGI and why practical filmmaking is becoming exciting again; some of our favorite performances, scenes and lines; the surprisingly emotional heart underneath all the comedy; and why Galaxy Quest has only become more beloved in the 25+ years since its release. Plus: how do actual Star Trek fans feel about Galaxy Quest — and does it deserve to be considered one of the best Star Trek movies even though it isn't technically a Star Trek movie? The full Galaxy Quest episode arrives Friday. 🎙️ Friday Night Rewind — Celebrating the movies that raised us, and helping you discover your next favorite film.

    Braveheart (1995) | Episode 11

    Mel Gibson. James Horner. Huge battles. Huge emotions. And one of the most historically inaccurate Best Picture winners ever made. This week on Friday Night Rewind, Jason and Scott revisit Braveheart (1995), the epic that turned William Wallace into a pop-culture icon and became one of the defining historical dramas of the ’90s. We talk about Mel Gibson’s performance and direction, the scale of the battle scenes, James Horner’s incredible score, the romance, the speeches, the violence, and the question hanging over the entire movie: how much should historical accuracy actually matter when the storytelling works this well? Plus: the Battle of Stirling, “FREEEEDOM!,” Patrick McGoohan being gloriously evil, the absolutely massive emotional swings, the things the movie gets hilariously wrong, and why Braveheart still has the power to completely sweep you up even when you know history is sitting in the corner shaking its head. Is Braveheart a great historical movie, a great movie that happens to use history, or both? And how much accuracy do you actually need from a film before the liberties start getting in the way? 🎬 Friday Night Rewind — Celebrating the movies that raised us, and helping you discover your next favorite film.

    Braveheart is considered one of Hollywood’s most historically inaccurate films. But does that actually make it a worse movie? This Friday on Friday Night Rewind, we rewind Mel Gibson’s 1995 Best Picture winner and ask how much historical accuracy really matters when the storytelling works. 🎙️ Friday Night Rewind — Celebrating the movies that raised us, and helping you discover your next favorite film.

    For our second Four for Friday, we’re going full Schwarzenegger. Jason and Scott each bring four Arnold movies to the table — eight films total — spanning action classics, sci-fi insanity, comedy, one-liners, explosions, and the kind of movie-star charisma they simply do not manufacture anymore. Which movies hold up? Which ones surprised us? And which eight made the cut? Eight Schwarzenegger movies. Two short kings. One very big episode. 🎙️ Friday Night Rewind — Celebrating the movies that raised us, and helping you discover your next favorite film. #ArnoldSchwarzenegger #ActionMovies #80sMovies #MoviePodcast #FridayNightRewind

    🎬There Will Never Be Another Schwarzenegger — Episode 10 Preview

    There was a time when Arnold Schwarzenegger’s name was bigger than the title of the movie—and that alone could sell the ticket. Jason and Scott look back at an era when movie stars were the franchise, and why today, marquee names have been replaced by marquee franchises. This Friday on Friday Night Rewind, it’s Four for Friday: Schwarzenegger. Jason and Scott each bring four Arnold movies to the table—eight picks total, revealed as they go. 🎙️ Friday Night Rewind — Celebrating the movies that raised us—and helping you discover your next favorite film.
