    Robin Hood with filmmaker Nick D'Agostino - Main Event

    Our guest, filmmaker Nick D'Agostino, was so obsessed with the 1973 animated version of Robin Hood that as a child, family vacations had to happen at places with VCRs where he'd subject his extended family to multiple viewings of Robin Hood and The Lion King. Nick had not seen it though since he was about 10 years old. Would it pass the test of time for not only Nick, but hosts Josh Duggan and Sean McGrath, who also grew up with a fondness for this film, or would it crash and burn? Why didn't Nick remember much of the plot of the film? Were the emotions the audience was supposed to feel earned by what was shown on screen? Would they all come out on the other side still liking the movie that is a key point of origin for the furry movement? There's one way to find out the answer to these questions... Robin Hood is currently available on Disney+. Nick D'Agostino can be found on: Instagram, his YouTube, and the website for Justice: The Movie All music in the show was composed by Divorcio Suave.  Josh Duggan can also be heard with co-host Adam Schwitters on the seminal Law & Order: SVU podcast, Munch My Benson.

    Qs and Tease with filmmaker Nick D'Agostino

    This week, Josh and Sean are pleased as punch to be joined by filmmaker Nick D'Agostino, who recently relocated from Austin to New York. He talks growing up in the Boston area with older parents, obsessive adolescent movie-watching habits, and hustling on the film scene in Austin. And of course, we talk about his experiences with a treasured film from his childhood with which we surmise the entire audience at home has a relationship. Next week's film is currently available on Disney+. Nick D'Agostino can be found on: Instagram, his YouTube, and the website for Justice: The Movie All music in the show was composed by Divorcio Suave.  Josh Duggan can also be heard with co-host Adam Schwitters on the seminal Law & Order: SVU podcast, Munch My Benson.

    Black Widow with actress Laura Faye Smith - Main Event

    Actress extraordinaire Laura Faye Smith comes to the Unkind Rewind to revisit this erotically charged thriller she watched with her mother as a teen to see if it holds up. How would the pairing of Theresa Russell and Debra Winger play nearly 40 years later? Would the titular femme fatale's modus operandi make sense? Would there be enough for Winger and Russell to do as one chased the other across the country? Could the extremely brief appearances of Diane Ladd and Dennis Hopper be made sense of? Could Laura Faye's superhuman memory be surprised at all? The answer to these and so many other questions about the 1987 Bob Rafelson film Black Widow lie within. Black Widow is currently available on most major VOD platforms for a few bucks and can be streamed free on Hoopla. It can also be found streaming extralegally courtesy of some sketchy foreign sites. Laura Faye Smith can be found on: Instagram and her website.  All music in the show was composed by Divorcio Suave.  Josh Duggan can also be heard with co-host Adam Schwitters on the seminal Law & Order: SVU podcast, Munch My Benson.

    The Sting with Forrest Miller of Movie Night Extravaganza - Main Event

    With a chance to pull a Robert Redford film from his list, Josh and Sean jumped at the chance to talk about this 1973 Best Picture winner with Forrest Miller, the host of Movie Night Extravaganza. It's impossible to talk about this without talking about certified hot dudes Robert Redford and Paul Newman atop the bill here. We dig into why Forrest didn't recall much of the plot of the film, how much fun the big con was, and what went into the making of this film, complete with prank wars, lawsuits, and Oscars galore. Would Forrest, Sean, and Josh each still love this movie these 15 to 20 years after the last time any of them saw it? Oh, who are we kidding? The Sting is currently available on major VOD platforms for a few bucks, and the RetroMovie app on Roku devices. It can also be found streaming extralegally courtesy of some sketchy foreign sites. Forrest Miller can be found in a whole lot of places: Letterboxd, Instagram, Twitter, and BlueSky.  Movie Night Extravaganza can be found on: YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, Threads, and BlueSky All music in the show was composed by Divorcio Suave.  Josh Duggan can also be heard with co-host Adam Schwitters on the seminal Law & Order: SVU podcast, Munch My Benson.

    Qs and Tease with Forrest Miller of Movie Night Extravaganza

    After Josh and Sean catch up on pod biz, they are joined by Forrest Miller, the host of Movie Night Extravaganza. He tells how he got into the podcast game and then we dive into his youth in The City and then Upstate before chatting about what he recalls of next week's all-time classic that's certainly appropriate to do now. Next week's film is currently available on major VOD platforms for a few bucks, but it's definitely worth plopping down a little coin. It can also be found streaming extralegally courtesy of some sketchy foreign sites. Forrest Miller can be found in a whole lot of places: Letterboxd, Instagram, Twitter, and BlueSky.  Movie Night Extravaganza can be found on: YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, Threads, and BlueSky All music in the show was composed by Divorcio Suave.  Josh Duggan can also be heard with co-host Adam Schwitters on the seminal Law & Order: SVU podcast, Munch My Benson.

    Clue with Kt Baldassaro of Movie Runtime and What If I Don't Like It? - Main Event

    How would revisiting beloved childhood staple Clue treat Kt Baldassaro (of Movie Runtime and the podcast What If I Don't Like It?) after not having watched it in at least 20 years? Would the Howard Hawksian cadence tickle her fancy as much as it had when she was young? Would the constant groping and leer of the male gaze rankle her now that she was an adult? Would the three endings still play as an ingenious plot device or did they now play as contrived and ill-conceived? The answer to those questions, along with who killed Mr. Boddy and how, lie within the confines of this episode. Clue is currently available on MGM+ and on most VOD platforms for a few bucks. Kt Baldassaro can be found in a whole lot of places: Instagram, TikTok, Letterboxd, Facebook (What If I Don't Like It?), Threads, and BlueSky All music in the show was composed by Divorcio Suave.  Josh Duggan can also be heard with co-host Adam Schwitters on the seminal Law & Order: SVU podcast, Munch My Benson.
