Twenty-five years ago, a young opportunist went to Italy to convince a rich pl***oy to come home again, and well ... shenanigans ensued. If you don't know anything about THE TALENTED MR. RIPLEY, you've had a quarter century to get up to speed. But we won't spoil it here - just go watch the movie then come back to us and listen to the Rewinders (with special guest Joe Prince) discuss the talent and the ripples (hi there, Jude Law). https://www.rewindpod.com/current-episode-1

Twenty-five years ago, there was a three way battle for leadership between a nerd with likability issues, and good-natured goofball, and a spoiler candidate who just wanted to sow chaos. No, we're not talking about Gore, Dubya, and Nader - we're focusing on Carver High in Omaha, Nebraska, where Tracy Flick is ready for her ascension to Student Council President and her biggest nemesis seems to be not her fellow candidates, but an English teacher set on thwarting her goals. Directed by Alexander Payne and starring Reese Witherspoon and Matthew Broderick, this ELECTION is actually fun to watch. https://www.rewindpod.com/current-episode-1

So the Rewinders got together over the weekend and picked our slate for Season 6. We’ve got some great movies lined up for 1999, 1974, 1949, and all the 4’s and 9’s in between. Our Annual Film Selection & Drinking Game episode is coming soon.

Seventy-five years ago, Olivia de Havilland starred in a film that humanized women struggling with mental health, and together with director Anatole Litvak, created a sensitive portrayal of a woman and one caring psychologist working in an overcrowded and often cruel system. Take our hand, we're walking into THE SNAKE PIT. It'll be okay. https://www.rewindpod.com/current-episode-1

Meet the Rewinders
Ally Jenkins & Eric Peterson are not professional film critics, nor are they studied historians. They’re just two funny friends living in the here and now who have a yen for old movies. Putting those two things together is the heart of THE REWIND PROJECT.
Every year, Ally & Eric pick 28 movies - seven from 10 years ago, seven from 25 years ago, seven from 50 years ago, and a final batch of seven from 75 years ago -- and they talk about them. In these conversations, they discover some really great films, but they also start to pick up on how the world has changed since then, and how sometimes old movies are timeless, and sometimes they were great in their day but haven’t aged so well.
