Rewind, Rethink is the podcast where two movie nerds Alice and Saj revisit old movies and ask: do they still hold up? Each week, they break down a film through a modern lens, unpacking its themes, cast, and storylines—seeing what stands the test of time and what really badly. Expect sharp takes, plenty of debate, and a close watch on that Bechdel Test as they rewind, rethink, and sometimes regret pressing play.
