The Shawshank Redemption (1994): Does it still deserve the love?

Armageddon (1998): Big Rock, Big Bomb

The conclusion of our 1998 asteroid movie double feature. Released just weeks after Deep Impact, Armageddon took the same premise and added some big oil driller men to man up that big rock and show it who is boss (Mostly 'Merica). Bigger explosions, bigger heroes, and a much bigger soundtrack... but is bigger actually better?

Deep Impact (1998) Big Wave, Big Rocks

The first entry in our 1998 asteroid movie double feature. Before Bruce Willis and Aerosmith saved the world, Deep Impact asked a simpler question: what would humanity do if the end was truly coming? We revisit this emotional disaster drama to see if it still packs a punch.

Miss Congeniality (2000) : Wait, do you think this is a feminist film? (With Special Guest Kate)

In this episode of Rewind, Rethink, Alice and Saj (and Special Guest Kate) revisit Miss Congeniality the 2000 Sandra Bullock classic that was something progressive. They dig into the makeover arc, the film's complicated relationship with femininity, and ask the question that's been sitting quietly in the back of our minds ever since: did this actually hold up? Tune in to find out.

Predator (1987): Is this the ultimate sweaty action movie? (With Special Guest James)

This week on Rewind, Rethink, Alice and Saj head into the jungle with our favourite person to talk blokey movies with, James! And this time we unpack Predator - a film packed with muscles, macho energy, explosive one-liners, and an invisible alien hunter stalking an elite military team through the jungle. We get into why this 80s action classic became so iconic, how it blends action and horror so well, and whether all that testosterone actually adds to the experience.

The Desent - Girl, don't go down there

This week on Rewind Rethink, we head deep underground with The Descent! Alice’s pick, and one Saj absolutely did not enjoy. Claustrophobic caves, terrifying creatures and one of the bleakest horror films of the 2000s… does it still hold up, or should it have stayed buried?
