Having rewatched her beloved teen romantasy flick Tuck Everlasting, Karyn Raynor of Chick-Lit Podcast is forced to reckon with its problematic premise where a 104YO immortal man in a 17YO boy's body grooms a 15YO girl. Could she still enjoy pre-WWI Stars Hollow--er Tree Gap?

This week, we chat with Karyn Raynor of Chick-Lit Podcast, digging into what she remembers about a beloved film adaptation of a teen romantasy book that was a bit of an awakening for Karyn and a movie with which neither Sean nor Josh had any relationship before this podcast. We also talk about her sheltered youth and Sean's acting résumé that coincidentally currently ties in with Karyn's podcast.

As almost always, you can also watch on our YouTube channel, too.

Oh man, this week's is so fun. Leo Allen, host of Voluntary Input and the brains behind Profound Simplicity, joins us to talk about this sci-fi family dramedy about super VR bent to both salacious and nefarious ends. It's also the movie where Christopher Walken and Natalie Wood met, fell in love/lust, and ended up getting her killed with a few weeks left of shooting.

We throw on the helmet and strap in for a weird, wild ride this week as we watched the 1983 sci-fi family dramedy Brainstorm, featuring the ill-fated star-cr...

Wait, who's this week's guest? Yup, it's Adam Schwitters. And he REALLY saw a movie he shouldn't have seen at the age of 8.

Young Max Rieper of Royals Review felt Return to Oz was superior to its predecessor The Wizard of Oz. How would its bleaker vision of the Land of Oz and a much younger Dorothy (a 10-year-old Fairuza Balk) play to a grown-up Max who'd not seen it in more than 35 years?

Super funny one this week, as we watched the Jon Cryer star-vehicle Hiding Out with special guest, Brian Mann. What about this tale of a 29-year-old stockbroker *ahem* hiding out in a Delaware high school while on the run from a mob hit squad--grooming a high school girl while there--resonated with 8-year-old Brian?

Also, what did the Jon Cryer say to Josh when told he'd just seen this about 15 years ago?

Hot on the heels of our Beastmaster Main Event last week, Sean and Josh sat down this week to wrap up that discussion before welcoming modern Middle Eastern history professor Brian Mann to the pod to unpack his childhood predilection toward movies featuring the star of next week's film, which you will discover when listening to this week's Qs and Tease episode. Super fun talk with a guy who totally didn't peak when he was watching this movie, despite his assertion to the contrary.

You can also watch the episode on our YouTube Channel. Link in comments.

🚨NEW ONE🚨

We traveled back to an old ferret-forward favorite of writer/musician Jeremy Steen, watching THE BEASTMASTER for this week's episode. One of Jeremy's favorite movies when he was 8, it'd been three decades since he'd last seen it, despite having a framed poster of the film hanging in his house. Would Dar's courting techniques set off his creepDar? Were ferrets still as cool as they were to young J-Bone? How would the first tiger performing in blackface play to 2024 Jeremy? Did Jeremy go straight out into his backyard and start swinging branches around to play Beastmaster?

The answer to these and so many more questions are contained within this week's wildly fun episode of the Unkind Rewind, available on all podcast platforms and on our YouTube Channel.

This week we jumped on The Beastmaster train with writer and musician Jeremy Steen and got a helluva ride. Did Jeremy's passion for this film influence his d...

NEW TEASER EP IS OUT!

Talked with writer, musician, and righteous but social media averse (mostly) Jeremy Steen this week about his wasted time on set of Terrence Malick's Song to Song, the possible origins of his aversion to eating meat, having "bad" band names, and whether or not he "played [next week's film]" with his best friend.

Tons of fun in this one, which may or may not be brought to you by Big Ferret.

In this Main Event, we get back together with best-selling sci-fi author Daniel H. Wilson (Robopocalypse, Robogenesis, and the Michael Crichton sequel The Andromeda Evolution) to revisit a staple of his childhood that was surprisingly scary today, . Starring a very young Stephen Dorff, along with an eventual Satanist, Kenny Powers's SIL, and an actress creepily sexualized, this entry in the horror-targeted-at-tweens subgenre had some serious special effects bonafides despite one's assumptions given its era. It also left Daniel impressed that he was able to withstand its scares as a child, which is all the more surprising when hearing that it was supposed to be MUCH harsher than the finished product ended up being.

You can watch The Gate on Prime, Plex, Tubi, and the Roku Channel. There's also a brand new Vestron Video Steelbook Blu-Ray release available at Wal-Mart if you're a big fan.

So watch The Gate and then check out how Daniel felt upon jumping back into the hellmouth after all these years either on YouTube (linked) or wherever you get your podcasts.

This week, we sit down with Daniel H. Wilson--roboticist and best-selling author of Robopocalypse, Robogenesis, The Andromeda Evolution, and the upcoming Doubleday release, Heliopause--to discuss a rambunctious youth filled with riding motorcycles, hijacked phone lines, and other colorful stories that we presume can no longer be held against him thanks to statutes of limitations. Really fun talk in advance of next week's movie, which you can find out if you listen (and is available on Prime, Tubi, The Roku Channel, and Plex).

In this lively installment of the Unkind Rewind, we get to know roboticist, author, and TV host Daniel H. Wilson. Before he wrote best-selling novels like Robop
