We all watched it, we all got mad, and then we all agreed this show had to happen. 2020’s Rebecca may be a rare miss from Hammer, James, & Wheatley. But it’s such a remake from hell that we need to bring back Swell. You’re welcome.

This episode was not on the schedule. But after we all watched Rebecca and started to chat about it online, it became abundantly clear that we needed to turn on the microphones. So we were rejoined by Amanda from Swell Entertainment to have at this one.

Now the novel is beloved the world over, the original won Best Picture, and if we’re honest, - the trailers, posters, cast & crew all had us hyped, primed and ready. HOWEVER, the film is complete with contemptible characters, nonsensical plot twists, and disappointments around every corner. So much potential for greatness went so very wrong, and although most of our Oscar podcasting lives is spent reviewing and celebrating Oscar level films, we couldn’t ignore 2020’s Rebecca.

If you’re still wondering whether or not you need to hate-watch this for yourselves, no worries, we have a full non-spoiler section up top. Then we give you some spoiler warning dance music before diving into all the ins and outs of this wretched plot.

Was Kristin Scott Thomas too good for all of it? What’s the worst breakfast food ever? Is Maxim de Winter a “himbo?” Was there some actual hanky panky happening? And how’d they do dat to Dowd!?! C’mon!!!

Anyway, we have too much fun as usual. So be sure to click play on all 3 of our episodes with Amanda from Swell Entertainment including 2 previous shows on New Mutants and Film Sets From Hell.
