Vintage Cinema Rewind

You never really understand a person until you consider things from their point of view. Until you climb inside of their skin and walk around in it. Or until you listen to their podcast. That's right, Vintage Cinema Rewind is back with their Deep Dive on Robert Mulligan's To Kill a Mockingbird! As the court date approaches, Blake and Michael have to prepare their evidence. But can they survive in Maycomb long enough to make it to trial?

Some men are born to do our unpleasant jobs. And by listening to this podcast, you're one of them. Oscar Month continues on Vintage Cinema Rewind! This week, Blake and Michael look back at the '60s--err, the '30s--and watch the iconic 'To Kill a Mockingbird.' Join them as they take a tour through Depression-era Alabama. Does this classic hold up? Or is this movie for the birds?

Oscar Month continues at Vintage Cinema Rewind. In this week's Deep Dive into David Lean's Lawrence of Arabia, Blake and Michael continue their guerrilla campaign against the Ottoman Turks. But with all the quicksand and floggings and stray bullets, can these two defeat the invaders and say something smart? Or are they ultimately just the two most shameless exhibitionists since Barnum and Bailey?

Vintage Cinema Rewind would like to thank the Academy. That's right, it's Oscar Month! This year, Blake and Michael are taking a look back at the 1963 awards season, starting with David Lean's Lawrence of Arabia! This epic film has everything. Swords. Matches. Match cuts. Can Blake and Michael make contact with Prince Fesial in time? Or is this week's episode already off the tracks?

Christian Slater. Patricia Arquette. Gary Oldman. Blake. Jason. Vintage Cinema Rewind is back with a Deep Dive on Tony Scott's (and sort of Quentin Tarantino's) True Romance. Can Blake and Jason get away with the score in time? Or is romance well and truly dead?

This weeks primer episode had us shocked that we hadn’t seen it sooner. It’s the 1993 movie True Romance, perfect for Valentine’s Day (at least for the guys) with a star studded cast, that goes against most romance tropes. It’s a hell of a ride from coast to coast with a briefcase full of freedom, starring Christian Slater and Patricia Arquette, with a bunch of appearances from some of our favorite actors and some of Quentin Tarantino’s best written scenes. Come check it out!

Okay, campers, rise and shine, and don't forget your booties 'cause it's cooooold out there today! Ignore the crushing sense of deja vu, because Vintage Cinema Rewind is still trapped in a time loop. Everyday is February 2nd. Everyday we get hassled for life insurance. Everyday the groundhog sees his shadow. Blake and Michael make the most of their temporal predicament by analyzing everything about this movie, from the later homages to Bill Murray's character arc. Can our hosts amuse themselves for eternity? Or will they both finally grow up and break free?

Ahhh 2023. Another year of Vintage Cinema Rewind. Another year of Godfathers, Silence of the Lambs, and Dog Day Afternoons.

Join these three as they reflect on the other forms of entertainment they consumed this year, including TV shows and their favorite performances.
