New father and parkour/mindset coach, Maayan Olshan joins the pod to proselytize about the 1996 Michael Jordan/Looney Tunes flick, Space Jam. While Maayan can't get enough of this treasured childhood mainstay, Josh and Sean had no childhood affinity for the film. Would his unbridled passion for all Bugs and Co. transfer to the hosts? Would they take issue with the film's plot or lack thereof? Did an entire film relying upon a very famous non-actor hamstring the film or was Michael Jordan's magnetism enough to overcome such a thing? Is this film entirely Stan's dying fever dream after falling head first onto concrete? There's only one way to get the answer to these and so many more questions, and that's to check out this installment of the Unkind Rewind.

Space Jam can currently be streamed on Netflix.

Maayan Olshan can be found on Instagram, Threads, TikTok, and Beacons.

After wrapping things up on Gymkata and Pump Up the Volume, Sean and Josh sit down with our next guest Maayan Olshan to talk parkour, being a new father, mindset coaching, and about his childhood with movies. That includes a youth spent loving a very popular film that neither Sean nor Josh saw until well into their adulthood, for podcasting. And congrats on the second kiddo, Maayan!

Sean and Josh talk all things Pump Up the Volume with Conan Neutron, of the weekly podcasts Conan Neutron's Protonic Reversal and Movie Night Extravaganza and of the rock band Conan Neutron & the Secret Friends, whose brand new album The Way of the Neutron dropped this week and can be streamed or purchased on Bandcamp. Conan hadn't seen Pump Up the Volume in at least 30 years, so how would his fond memories of the film hold up? Would the fap-heavy humor grate on his nerves? Did Christian Slater's performance veer too heavily into Jack Nicholson impersonation territory or would he give a surprisingly nuanced performance? Was Allan Moyle's film as transgressive as feared or more progressive than one might have thought? The answer to these and so many more questions lie within this episode of the Unkind Rewind.

Pump Up the Volume is hard to find outside of physical media, presumably because of its soundtrack, but *pssst* it can be found on the Internet Archive.

After dispatching of last week's film Gymkata from atop a pair of pommel horses at the village's center, Sean and Josh sit down with Conan Neutron, of the weekly podcasts Conan Neutron's Protonic Reversal and Movie Night Extravaganza and of the rock band Conan Neutron & the Secret Friends, whose brand new album The Way of the Neutron drops on March 20th and can currently be partially streamed on Bandcamp. In our getting to know you session with Conan, we dig into his life as a musician, his forays into podcasting, and his youth spent in less glamorous parts of California. We also get to the bottom of what he remembers about a seminal youth-in-revolt tale that announces the arrival of the 1990s and presages the medium you're devouring right now. 

Next week's film is hard to find outside of physical media, presumably because of its soundtrack, but *pssst* it can be found on the Internet Archive.

Greg Schaum--former Royals post-game radio host, baseball advisor/agent, Director of Player Development, and current Partner and Director of Sports Recruiting at Klutch MFM--joins us to look back at the film he grew up loving that boldly asked the question: What if we took an Olympic-level athlete who may or may not be charismatic enough to carry a major motion picture and tried to turn him into a martial arts movie star, complete with an entirely new discipline built around his legitimately impressive skillset? Did Kurt Thomas earn his Razzie nomination? Were background actors maimed while making this film? Was said maiming committed to celluloid? Did production seriously just hire out their extras from an asylum and compensate them with a buffet and alcohol? The answers to these and so many other questions lie within this triumphant episode of the Unkind Rewind.

Gymkata is available on most VOD platforms, but it can also be found on the Internet Archive. You. Should. Watch. It.

After putting a bow on St. Elmo's Fire and discussing the Oscars, Josh and Sean sit down with Greg Schaum, former baseball advisor/agent, Director of Player Development, Royals post-game radio host and current Partner and Director of Sports Recruiting at Klutch MFM. We talk chasing dreams, getting the acting bug, and growing up with one foot in the world of sports with the other in film, before leaping into his past with a delightfully bizarre film that in its own special way speaks to the duality of young Greg.

Chelsea Cain--the best-selling author of Heartsick and the subsequent five books in the Archie Sheridan & Gretchen Lowell series, which count themselves amongst the more than a dozen books and comic book series on her bibliography--sits down with us to talk about the movie from which the term "Brat Pack" sprung unflatteringly, the 1985 Joel Schumacher film starring Emilio Estevez, Rob Lowe, Andrew McCarthy, Demi Moore, Judd Nelson, Ally Sheedy, and Mare Winningham, St. Elmo's Fire. How did the messiest post-graduation year in history for a group of friends(?) play after decades of not having seen this movie? How did every single non-Andrew McCarthy male character read in the 21st Century? Do all of the very best friends commit felonies against one another before agreeing that they've graduated to being brunch people? The only way to find out the answer to these and so many other pressing questions is to strap in and venture into the Unkind Rewind, but bring a jacket this week, we wouldn't want you to die from catching a chill.

St. Elmo's Fire is somehow only available on VOD right now, despite nearly always being available on a streaming platform, but there's a pretty good chance you've seen and remember this one and industrious denizens of the internet can surely find it by searching for "st. elmo's fire full movie free" and clicking on the video that has a runtime just a dozen minutes under two hours...

After tying up some Phase IV loose ends, Josh and Sean sit down with Chelsea Cain, the best-selling author of Heartsick and the subsequent five books in the Archie Sheridan & Gretchen Lowell series, which count themselves amongst the more than a dozen books and comic book series on her bibliography. After commiserating over having such horrifying search histories on account of their creative endeavors that they're probably on watch lists and extolling the virtues of Tom Selleck's legs, they dive into Chelsea's childhood spent on communes, traumatic haircuts, sexiest men, and aspirations to be people you couldn't fully understand as a child but had seemed cool in movies.

Next week's film is somehow only available on VOD right now, despite nearly always being available on a streaming platform, but there's a pretty good chance you've seen and remember this one...

Neither Josh nor Sean had ever even heard of Phase IV when Mightie Minx submitted her list, but when they saw that it was the only feature directed by graphic design legend Saul Bass--who'd created some of the most striking opening title sequences in cinematic history--they knew they couldn't choose anything else. So what did Saul Bass make with this one shot at the helm? A movie pitting man against ant. Er, ANTS. Like a couple billion of them. Enough to get us using "anted" as a verb. Shockingly, the movie slaps so much that Josh ended up buying a physical copy of it afterward, a first in this podcast's history. While things are looking pretty rough out there, at least we can look forward to the rule of our new tiny overlords.

Phase IV can be streamed on Kanopy for free and on Archive.org. It's also available VOD for a few bucks on many platforms.

After catching up on pod business from the Dreamscape eps with Ted Douglass, UKRW sits down with the Mightiest Minx in the former Royals/Chiefs Twitterverse that's since migrated to other platforms, Tori. If you thought last week's film was an odd one, wait until you see what Tori brought along this time. Directed by a luminary artist, starring just a handful of actors opposite millions of tiny adversaries whose goal was the enslavement of mankind, this was one neither Josh nor Sean had ever heard of, but one they HAD to do when they read up on it. It's also the only film in this podcast's early history that either of them would end up buying after seeing it. We've got a gem in store for you. 

Next week's film can be streamed on Kanopy for free and on Archive.org. It's also available VOD for a few bucks on many platforms.
