16 MAY. 2024 · In this Main Event, we get back together with best-selling sci-fi author Daniel H. Wilson (Robopocalypse and Robogenesis and the Michael Crichton sequel The Andromeda Evolution) to revisit a staple of his childhood that was surprisingly scary today, The Gate. Starring a very young Stephen Dorff, along with an eventual Satanist, Kenny Powers's SIL, and an actress creepily sexualized, this entry in the horror-targeted-at-tweens subgenre had some serious special effects bonafides despite one's assumptions given its era. It also left Daniel impressed that he was able to withstand its scares as a child, which is all the more surprising when hearing that it was supposed to be MUCH harsher than the finished product ended up being. The Gate is presently available to stream for free in the US on Tubi, Prime, Plex, and The Roku Channel. And a brand new Vestron Steelbook Special Edition Blu-Ray was just released on May 14, 2024, https://www.walmart.com/ip/The-Gate-Steelbook-Walmart-Exclusive-Blu-Ray-Digital-Copy/5493766087. Daniel H. Wilson can be reached via his website: https://www.danielhwilson.com/ You can follow https://www.facebook.com/OfficialDanielHWilson on Facebook for any Daniel H. Wilson news. And keep your eyes peeled for his upcoming novel courtesy of Doubleday, titled Heliopause, which should hit shelves late in 2024 or early in 2025.  All music in the show was composed by Divorcio Suave.  Josh Duggan can also be heard with his co-host Adam Schwitters on the seminal Law & Order: SVU podcast, https://munchmybenson.com/.

9 MAY. 2024 · In this lively installment of the Unkind Rewind, we get to know roboticist, author, and TV host Daniel H. Wilson. Before he wrote best-selling novels like Robopocalypse and Robogenesis and the Michael Crichton sequel The Andromeda Evolution, Daniel got into some mischief for which we assume the statute of limitations has run out on and is probably safe for broadcast. Tune in for stories revolving around church busing, kids on motorcycles, and hijacking phone lines to call in to the DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince 1-900 number, stay for the preliminary discussion of a youth-oriented horror film about to get a Steelbook Vestron Video Blu-Ray release. Next week's film (you'll have to listen to discover what it is) is presently available to stream for free in the US on Tubi, Prime, Plex, and The Roku Channel. Daniel H. Wilson can be reached via his website: https://www.danielhwilson.com/ You can follow https://www.facebook.com/OfficialDanielHWilson on Facebook for any Daniel H. Wilson news.

2 MAY. 2024 · After 35 years separated from the cool comfort of the high-water mark of the Geriatric Renaissance, 1985's Ron Howard geezer pleaser Cocoon, how would our special guest Peter Johansen react to being utterly surprised by a solid 60% of the movie? How would being the exact age of one of the "septuagenarians" in the film play to him? Would the extreme horniness of this film about the Greatest Generation, the aliens who inhabited Atlantis, and a down-on-his-luck fisherman catch him off guard? There's one way to find out: checking out this installment of the Unkind Rewind.

25 ABR. 2024 · Sit right back and get to know our next guest, jack of all trades Peter Johansen, as he laughs about being defined by something new, reminisces about kicking other kids out of "his seat" at the local movie theater, and surmises that he surely cried when he saw our next selection and will likely shed at least one more tear when we watch it for next week.

18 ABR. 2024 · We sat down with LA Weekly/Village Voice film reviewer Chad Byrnes and dove into the borderline traumatic childhood viewing experience that was seeing Firstborn--a cautionary tale about letting pinball, cocaine, Coleman grills (and Big Charcoal, by proxy), and Peter Weller into your single-parent home--in the movie theater with his divorcée mother. We also celebrate the creative forces that were Peter Weller, Michael Apted, Teri Garr, and Corey Haim, while wondering what happened to Christopher Collet, all of whom were great in this 1984 heightened family trauma drama. Come for the discussion of seeing a movie with your mom that traumatized you both, stay for tons of talk praising Corey Haim, speculation that RoboCop derailed Peter Weller's acting career, and the offer of unequivocal proof that Sam was lying about his baseball-playing past. Chad can be found online at: https://www.instagram.com/chudderino/ Chad's work can be found at: https://www.villagevoice.com/author/chad-byrnes/ and https://www.laweekly.com/guest-author/chad-byrnes/.

11 ABR. 2024 · We are joined by Chad Byrnes, film reviewer at The Village Voice and LA Weekly and all-around righteous dude, to discuss his personal history with a mostly forgotten cautionary family drama that reaches a fairly terrifying fever pitch by the end, which he's not seen in ages. As a child of divorce at the time, the movie we'll be watching for next week may not have been the best movie to see with his mother, but that's what happened to Chad, which we dig into a bit here before we head off to watch the film before next week's Main Event.

4 ABR. 2024 · What would our guest Leon Henderson Jr make of his return to the 1986 genre mashup Night of the Creeps? Would the countless influences worn on its sleeve wear out their welcome? Did he wish he could have a roommate as generous and giving as J.C., who was surely given those initials for his Christ-like self-sacrifice? Was Leon's household solely responsible for its strong Midwestern showing on the home video rental market? Was he thrilled, as Detective Cameron would have wanted? The answers to these questions can only be found within the confines of this installment of the Unkind Rewind.

28 MAR. 2024 · After getting to know co-host Sean McGrath a little better, Josh sits down with this week's guest Leon Henderson Jr. Dipping in and out of the comedy scene in LA, Leon's shifted largely into locations work on set--you should see his name when the credits roll on Paul Thomas Anderson's untitled and secretive new project. Having provided us with a list of films we could have done a whole season of Unkind Rewind on, we chose one we were not familiar with and got him to give us a rundown of his past with this '80s genre mashup. Listen to find out the film, and then make sure to check back in to next week's Main Event to see how it held up to Leon's memories and expectations.

21 MAR. 2024 · Having rewatched Labyrinth, we sat back down with Kay from the F**k My Work Life Podcast to see how her fond memories of the film fared upon seeing the film again for the first time in decades.
