345- THE THING with Peyson Rock Oct 10, 2018

Show notes

They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but those people haven't met THE THING! Directed by the master of horror John Carpenter and starring Kurt Russell, Wilfred Brimley, Richard Masur, some dudes, a dog and a thing, the reception to this film was initially as warm as the Antarctic winds in January. Since, however, it has become one of Carpenters most iconic and beloved films. But how does it hold up in today's cold harsh light?

Actor and self-described "Thingiac" Peyson Rock joins us to give it the old blood test!

344- GHOST Oct 03, 2018

Show notes

It's October, the time of the year that the barriers between the material and spiritual words are weakest, so join us in summoning the ghost of GHOST! Yes, the 1990 supernatural drama starring Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore, Whoopi Goldberg and a glistening, genital-like glob of clay, this movie had something for everyone with a pulse, but how does it hold up for those of us who have passed beyond the mortal coil? OOoooooh!

343- THE WEDDING SINGER Sep 26, 2018

Show notes

Wedding bells are ringing on Rewatchability! With Blain's nuptials on the horizon, we celebrate by saying "I Do" to THE WEDDING SINGER! Starring Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore, as well as Christine Taylor, Rapping Granny, and all of Adam Sandler's annoying friends, this movie marries the tenderness of the late 90's rom-com with, well, Adam Sandler's schtick. We thought it was hilarious when we were younger, but how does it hold up today?

342- RUSH HOUR Sep 19, 2018

Show notes

Don't touch that radio, this week we're stuck in RUSH HOUR, the 1998 movie that first brought together the versatile fighting force of Jackie Chan with uhh, Chris Tucker. Directed by a guy we'd rather not talk about and spawning two sequels as well as a short-lived TV show, this movie shook up Hollywood with its slick blend of action and comedy, but how does it hold up today?

341- DEAD POETS SOCIETY Sep 12, 2018

Show notes

This week we appropriate a twenty-four hour period with Robin Williams and the boys in DEAD POETS SOCIETY, the 1989 drama directed by Peter Weir and starring Ethan Hawke, Robert Sean Leonard, Josh Charles and the daddest dad that ever dadded Kurtwood Smith! Abound with poetry and philosophy, for some this movie provided inspiration to seek out their own path, to live life to the fullest on one's own terms and to savor each moment, while providing others an opportunity to catch up on REM sleep in Mr. Davidson's English class. But how does it hold up now?

340- DISTURBING BEHAVIOR Sep 05, 2018

Show notes

It's September, which means it's back to school, and your first lesson is on DISTURBING BEHAVIOR, the 1998 teen sci-fi horror starring James Marsden, Katie Holmes and Nick Stahl, as well as Bruce Greenwood and a bunch of other old creepy Canadian people. Set in an idyllic small town where the good kids seem a little too good (if you ignore all the killing), this movie made us question the motivations of everyone, man, it's like they're all robots or zombies of society, Man. But how does it hold up now?

339- THE NAKED GUN Aug 29, 2018

Show notes

This week we stare down the barrel of THE NAKED GUN: FROM THE FILES OF POLICE SQUAD! Starring the late, great Leslie Nielsen as Lieutenant Frank Drebin, as well as the not-so-late and not-so-great OJ Simpson and a lot of people who fall probably somewhere in between including Priscilla Presley, George Kennedy and Khan himself, Ricardo Montalban! Packed with gags, puns and references to cop shows that nobody remembers, we loved this movie when we were younger, but how does it hold up today?

338- ZOOLANDER with Graham Isador Aug 22, 2018

Show notes

Fashion. Glamour. ZOOLANDER! We walk the catwalk with Ben Stiller's satire of the fashion world. Ooh la la. Give me more. Good. Directed by Ben Stiller, and starring Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson as well as Christine Taylor and Jerry Stiller and basically every other person Ben Stiller is related to or ever met, this movie made us believe there's more to life than being ridiculously beautiful, but how does it hold up today?

337- PINEAPPLE EXPRESS Aug 15, 2018

Show notes

Roll a couple for the road, this week we're flying high on the PINEAPPLE EXPRESS! Starring Seth Rogan as a guy who smokes weed and James Franco as a guy who sells it, this stoner comedy/action film hybrid defied expectations, like a really good hybrid that you feel in your body but doesn't leave you couch-locked. Directed by David Gordon Green and produced by Judd Apatow, this movie helped make Seth Rogan one of the biggest stars of the 2000's to be baked 24/7, but how does it hold up now?

Also, get tickets for our August 29th screening of the Judd Apatow-ghost-written THE CABLE GUY at The Royal in Toronto!

336- GATTACA Aug 08, 2018

Show notes

Strap a bag of someone else's pee onto your leg, this week we go into GATTACA, the 1997 Sci-Fi drama starring Ethan Hawke, Uma Thurman and Jude Law. Set in a future where gene editing has become the norm, and those who were born "naturally" are marginalized, this is the story of one man trying to be more than his genes. This movie fascinated us with it's glimpse of the future, but how does it hold up today?
