Robert Redford is gone at 89, so the guys dropped a bonus episode on his paranoid cult classic Sneakers (1992). It’s dad-heist cinema at its peak: pizza debates, dial-up hacking, Sidney Poitier staying calm, and Dan Aykroyd screaming about conspiracies.

Adam, Jeff, and Steve dive into the plot, the legendary cast (Redford, River Phoenix, David Strathairn, Ben Kingsley, Mary McDonnell), and why this 90s thriller still works today. They talk the box office, its endless cable-TV run, and how Sneakers became one of those early DVDs every dad owned next to Jurassic Park and Twister.

Expect VHS tangents, breadstick arguments, VHS vs DVD nostalgia, unhinged 90s pop culture references, and Jeff’s impassioned love for this as one of his true comfort movies. This is Rewind or Dieat its funniest and most chaotic—celebrating Robert Redford’s legacy and one of the greatest paranoid comedies ever made.

Carl Weathers goes full action hero in Action Jackson (1988), a movie that deserved an entire franchise but got left in the VHS aisle.

We break down why this cult classic still rules, how Craig T. Nelson’s tuxedo karate is both insane and perfect, why Vanity steals scenes, and why Carl Weathers should’ve been mentioned in the same breath as Stallone, Schwarzenegger, and Willis.

It’s part comedy, part tribute, all 80s action chaos.

What if a movie wasn’t a movie but a raccoon-written fever dream? That’s Weapons (2025): Julia Garner weaponizes anxiety, Josh Brolin shows up with mulch and a shotgun, and every frame looks like an A24 trailer about haunted Bass Pro Shops.

Adam, Jeff, and Steve try to survive Zach Cregger’s chaos, debate whether Weapons is art or a prank, and spiral into cinematic taser metaphors. Stick around—Louis is back next week for Action Jackson.

Exploding footballs. Cigarettes in the rain. Bruce Willis at peak divorce energy.

This week, the guys dive into The Last Boy Scout (1991) — the Shane Black/Tony Scott fever dream where football is corrupt, cars explode for no reason, and Bill Medley sings the most knockoff anthem in history. Adam calls it life-changing, Jeff brings the trivia (and the sighs), and Steve questions the league’s TV ratings.

Follow along as we break down Bruce Willis’ weirdest career pocket, Damon Wayans’ indoor sunglasses, and whether this football league somehow connects to Shane Falco and The Replacements.

Boy bands. Demons. Glow sticks as holy weapons. That’s K-Pop Demon Hunter—a movie so insane it makes Point Break look like a documentary.

Adam, Jeff, and Steve break down the glitter-soaked chaos: training montages, evil rival bands, fan calendars that seal hell itself, and a finale that might be the most accidental exorcism in film history.

Harrison Ford runs, Tommy Lee Jones doesn’t care, and The Fugitive (1993) still rules. Adam, Jeff, and Steve break down the dam jump, the train crash, the Oscar-winning marshals, and why this is the ultimate dad-thriller. Plus: mustard-on-fries discourse, forgotten TV origins, and whether U.S. Marshalsis more than just a TNT staple.

Everything you love about ’90s thrillers: real stunts, real Chicago, and Tommy Lee Jones being the most competent man alive.

Rodney Dangerfield goes back to college, hires Kurt Vonnegut for his homework, and somehow beats Top Gun at the box office. In this week’s episode, we dive into Back to School (1986) — the VHS comedy classic with the legendary Triple Lindy, Robert Downey Jr. in gremlin mode, Pauly from Rocky, Terry Farrell (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine), and Billy Zabka being the ultimate 80s villain.

We break down how this Rodney Dangerfield comedy made $90 million, became a Comedy Central staple in the 90s, and why it’s still a cult favorite today. Plus: listener emails, fake IMDb reviews, and a debate about Harrison Ford’s place on the Mount Rushmore of action movies.

Hit play, subscribe, and get ready for a full dose of “No Respect!” nostalgia.

Keanu Reeves is Johnny Utah, Patrick Swayze is Bodhi, and Gary Busey just wants two meatball subs. This week, Rewind or Die dives into Point Break (1991) — the surfing, skydiving, bank-robbing action classic that inspired The Fast and the Furious and an entire generation of adrenaline junkies.

Join Adam, Jeff, and Producer Steve as they break down Kathryn Bigelow’s cult masterpiece — from the greatest foot chase in movie history to Anthony Kiedis’ unforgettable cameo. They nitpick Johnny Utah’s terrible undercover work (shouldn’t everyone recognize the Rose Bowl quarterback from THE Ohio State?), marvel at Lori Petty’s underrated role, and argue whether Bodhi is a criminal, a guru, or both. Plus, the gang debates if Rodney Dangerfield could’ve pulled off the same assignment, why the dog-throwing scene deserves its own Oscar, and how Point Break still sets the standard for action movies three decades later.

What do you get when you mix Tom Hanks in a bathrobe, Bruce Dern with binoculars, Carrie Fisher rolling her eyes, Corey Feldman as a neighborhood hype man, and Joe Dante’s gift for suburban chaos? You get The ‘Burbs (1989), one of the weirdest and most beloved cult comedies of the late 80s.

This week, Adam, Jeff, and Steve move into the cul-de-sac to break down every paranoid detail of Joe Dante’s dark comedy classic. They cover the legendary opening morning sequence, the trash-can curbside theatrics, the killer monologues, and of course—Dick Miller and Robert Picardo as the greatest garbage men in cinematic history.

Along the way, they also tackle:

• 7-year-old Jeff seeing The ‘Burbs in theaters (and how it shaped him forever)

• Why Art’s “the guy was a killer” speech is the suburban cousin of Phoebe Cates’ chimney story from Gremlins

• The insane box office year of 1989 (Batman, Indiana Jones, Ghostbusters II, Honey I Shrunk the Kids, and more)

• Which Burbs character each host would actually be in real life (spoiler: Steve = the suspicious neighbor)

• The surprise Peacock reboot of The ‘Burbs starring Keke Palmer (yes, it’s real!)

And as always, Adam begs for Timecop questions, Jeff goes full professor on the movie’s history, and Steve quietly gives up trying to keep things organized.

Next week: Point Break (1991). The real one. Swayze. Reeves. Busey. 100% Pure Adrenaline. No remakes allowed.

Jean-Claude Van Damme is a time-traveling cop with a mullet powered by grief and LA Looks gel, and we are absolutelyhere for it. This week on Rewind or Die, Adam, Jeff, and Steve go deep on 1994’s Timecop—the rocket-sled-to-a-wall sci-fi action “classic” where politicians commit time crimes, Mia Sara explodes after ten minutes, and Ron Silver gets paradoxed into hamburger soup.

We cover:

• Why Timecop might actually be more scientifically accurate than Primer (according to Adam, which is terrifying)
• The lost Timecop Happy Meal toys that should’ve existed
• How this movie beat Forrest Gump at the box office for one glorious weekend
• Bruce McGill in a mesh tank top as the true hero of the future year… 2004

Plus: the shocking Back to the Future fast-food conspiracy, Sloane Peterson’s brief leap from Ferris Bueller to exploding spouse, and the Timecop 2: Totino Protocol pitch you didn’t know you needed.

Next week: We move from time crimes to suburban paranoia with The ’Burbs (1989).
