Pointless Rewind episodes:

April 29, 2021 Episode 12 - Pointlessly Rewinding Judge Dredd
Check out Episode 12 where we pointlessly rewind through 1995's Judge Dredd. This is a major milestone as this is the first episode that proves that Chandru wasn't full of crap when he claimed this podcast would be about any movies from the group's pasts, not just movies he likes. But more importantly, its Scot's first episode! Behold as we discuss Stallone and his gloriously incomprehensible one-liners, an amazing Alan Silvestri score, a less than amazing plot, unnecessary cleavage, terrible CGI that somehow didn't turn Eric off from the movie, and Eric inexplicably claiming that 2012's Dredd could be an episode of The Wire.

March 23, 2021 Episode 11 - Pointlessly Rewinding Die Hard 2: Die Harder
Check out Episode 11 where we pointlessly rewind through Die Hard 2! Listen in as we discuss such weighty topics such as whether Die Hard 2 is an underrated sequel, John McClane's newfound teleportation skills, some incredible and elaborate action scenes, whether or not the skits for this podcast need to make sense, and how Colonel Stewart's nude martial arts convinced one of us to start watching Cobra Kai for some reason.

January 19, 2021 Episode 10 - Pointlessly Rewinding Rush Hour
Check out Episode 10 where we pointlessly rewind through 1998's Rush Hour! Can a podcast about neurotically rewatching movies over and over actually work when the host had only seen the movie once? Should it work?? If you can get past that, then enjoy it as we discuss Jackie Chan's foray into Hollywood, whether Chris Tucker's character is actually likeable, whether a movie like this needs a plot, the awesome chemistry between the leads, and whether Soo Yung deserved a fate more like Harry Ellis from Die Hard.

November 18, 2020 Episode 9 - Pointlessly Rewinding Die Hard
Check out Episode 9 where we pointlessly rewind through 1988's Die Hard!
Join us as we discuss the effectiveness of John McClane, the ruthlessness of Hans Gruber, the incredible pacing of the movie, the theory that Argyle may be caught in an Interstellarish time warp in Nakatomi's garage, and how thankful we are that Al didn't follow up shooting Karl by blasting Argyle away as well.

October 30, 2020 Episode 8 - Pointlessly Rewinding Halloween
Happy Halloween! To celebrate, check out our latest episode as we delve into the 1978 classic Halloween! Enjoy as we discuss the terrifying aura of Michael Myers, while also wondering aloud if the movie would have been better off had the killer been Jason's mother. Delve into our thoughts on Donald Pleasance's Dr. Loomis and how he brings a level of sophistication to the movie, all while also just being a "pleasance" to watch. And of course, just hear us rave about this seminal movie and how suspense seems to be an afterthought these days.

Check out Episode 7 where we pointlessly rewind through previous podcast episodes and rank the original Indiana Jones trilogy!

August 31, 2020 Episode 6 - Pointlessly Rewinding Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
Check out Episode 6 where we pointlessly rewind through Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade! Join us as we discuss Indiana Jones' reconciliation with his father, whether this movie would have been better off with the X-rated version where Indiana Jones romances Henry Jones Sr., the uselessness of turning Marcus Brody from a respected mentor figure for Indy into a clown, the incompetence of the Brotherhood of the Crusiform Sword group in this movie, and the pointlessness of having a clue about a penitent man needing to kneel before God when the booby trap also requires rolling past God in order to survive the test.

August 04, 2020 Episode 5 - Pointlessly Rewinding Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
Check out Episode 5 where we pointlessly rewind through Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom! Things couldn't be more pointless as we discuss one of the most action-heavy climaxes in cinematic history, whether Short Round would have been better off being called Tall Square, why the Thuggee Cult who has access to guns, swords, and voodoo choose to send one assassin with a rope to kill Indiana Jones, and why Steven Spielberg would choose two decidedly non-Indian individuals who had visited India as his Indian experts when writing this movie.
