We rewind to The Shawshank Redemption (1994), unpacking the mixed emotions that come with revisiting one of cinema’s most beloved classics. Beyond its themes of hope and freedom, we question whether the film leans into the white male hero narrative and what it reveals about the prison system, both then and now. As we revisit Andy’s journey alongside Red’s perspective, we ask whether this much-loved classic still deserves the love it continues to receive.

He’s kind of a big deal… or is he? We revisit Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy and dive into the absurd world of 70s broadcast news, jazz flute and all.
Does this cult comedy still hold up, or has it lost its moustache-twirling charm over time?

This week on Rewind Rethink, we tackle Good Will Hunting… and let’s just say, the can remove the good. Saj straight-up hated it, and while I can appreciate what it’s trying to do, there are definitely a few warts that are hard to ignore. Is this beloved classic still deserving of its praise, or has it lost some of its shine?

This week on Rewind, Rethink, we watch The Sweetest Thing (2002), a chaotic early-2000s rom-com that fully leans into mess, mayhem, and sex from the female perspective. The film follows three female friends on a wildly unpredictable quest for love (and a lot of questionable decisions). We unpack whether the film is just crude, over-the-top fun… or something ahead of its time. Does it flip the script on traditional rom-coms, or fall right into the same traps? And how does it land today, in a world that talks very differently about relationships, sex, and friendship?

Given it's the week of the Oscars, Alice and Saj rewind to Crash, the film that somehow took home Best Picture and ask the big question: what is it actually saying about race? From emotionally charged encounters to painfully awkward interpersonal moments, they unpack whether the film’s message feels genuine… or completely forced. Is Crash a bold attempt to spark conversation, or a heavy-handed take that hasn’t aged well? Plus, they dive into the chaos of that Oscars year and what it meant for this film to come out on top.

Hey guys! We're back for a third year, starting off with an offer you can’t refuse. We’re revisiting The Godfather, the legendary mafia epic that redefined the crime genre. Does this cinematic classic still hold the crown, or was it a snooze fest? Will we be sleeping with the fishes for even asking this? Lets find out!

This week on Rewind, Rethink, we sink our teeth into Interview with the Vampire. Alice is living for the lush sets, and over-the-top gothic glamour… while Saj is convinced this was Cruise and Pitt’s most embarrassing career choice. We chat camp, queer undertones, Kirsten Dunst (the best thing about the film), and why this movie is somehow both ridiculous and iconic.

This week on Rewind, Rethink, Alice and Saj dive into The Stepford Wives - the glossy suburban nightmare that had a bit of backlash when it came out. What does this film really say about feminism during a decade of upheaval? Why did a story about “perfect wives” spark such a fierce backlash, especially from the very movement it seemed to support. We chat about what the movie says about gender roles at the time, why it sparked such a big backlash, whether its “perfect wife” nightmare still hits today, and if a gender-reversed remake would even work in 2025.

Do you see dead people? Spoiler alert - this creepy little kid sure does. This week on Rewind Rethink, we revisit the twisty classic that made M. Night Shyamalan a household name. Is The Sixth Sense as good as we remember, or has it become a total cringe fest?

The film that terrified a generation — and definitely scared Saj. This week on Rewind Rethink, we’re revisiting The Exorcist to see if this horror legend still has the power to possess us... or if time has cast out its demons.
