    Lifeforce with musician/podcaster Conan Neutron

    Yes, we're back with an extra special bonus episode where Conan Neutron (of Conan Neutron & the Secret Friends, Conan Neutron's Protonic Reversal, and Movie Night Extravaganza) revisits Tobe Hooper's follow-up to Poltergeist, the 1985 cautionary tale about space travel with sexy space vampires, Lifeforce, which Conan hadn't seen in decades and Sean had never seen. Was this Cannon Film resting on the assets of a French 19-year-old actress and made under duress as the film was shut down while Golan and Globus scrounged around in the couch for cocai--I mean change, yeah, change--something that one could prepare themselves for? Were the myriad maximalist ways in which this film was conceived able to be realized on a tighter budget than Tobe Hooper might have wanted? Will Sean ever be the same after being Lifeforced? Check out this special bonus episode of the Unkind Rewind to find out. Lifeforce can currently be found on Tubi.

    Excalibur with film critic Chad Byrnes

    In a break from our regular format, we were joined once again by friend of the pod Chad Byrnes, film critic at LA Weekly and The Village Voice, to talk about a film he feels strongly enough to have a tattoo inspired by it. This time, it's Josh and Sean who have not seen in full since they were youths. How would John Boorman's sexualized gritty Arthurian sword and sorcery drama play in 2025? What would they make of Boorman directing a sex scene starring his own daughter? Would its episodic nature and decades-spanning narrative be too much to overcome in keeping forward momentum?  Chad can be found online at: Instagram Chad's work can be found at: The Village Voice and LA Weekly Excalibur can currently be found on Kanopy, most VOD platforms, or extralegally on a janky Russian website if you just search 'excalibur 1981 full movie streaming'.

    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+.

    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.
