BAMF Presents The Rewind Underground

Spice World - Adding Some Spice to Rewind Roulette

This week on The BAMF Podcast with Sideburnzombie, is playing a new game called Rewind Roulette. Instead of picking a movie off the shelf, I reached into an old box of ticket stubs, shook ‘em up like a bottle of Yoo-Hoo. What came out? Spice World. Yeah… that one. The 1997 pop-culture fever dream starring the Spice Girls at the absolute peak of their powers, platform boots, Union Jack dresses, and enough “Girl Power” to short-circuit your VCR. Is it a movie? Is it a commercial? Or is it a chaotic time capsule of the late ‘90s that somehow feels like it was beamed in from another dimension? Maybe. So grab your lollipop mic, hop on the tour bus, and get ready to zig-a-zig-ah your way through one of the weirdest cult classics ever put to tape. One pull. No skips. Welcome to Rewind Roulette.

Fletch: Fake Names, Real Crimes, and Zero Shame

Tonight, Sideburnzombie cracks open the case file on Fletch—the 1985 cult classic that proves you don’t need a badge to solve a crime… just a good disguise and a better attitude. Starring Chevy Chase at his most chaotic, Fletch follows an investigative reporter who gets offered money to commit a murder… and instead stumbles into a full-blown conspiracy packed with lies, disguises, and nonstop one-liners. So grab your notebook, pick a fake name, and try not to insult anyone too important… Because tonight’s investigation is anything but professional. Rewind and Be Kind.

Episode 23: Super Mario Bros. or Escape From Dinohattan

This week, Sideburnzombie cracks open one of the weirdest video game adaptations ever made, the 1993 Super Mario Bros. movie. Yeah… THAT one. We dig into the fungus-covered chaos of Dinohattan, try to figure out what the hell happened during production, and ask the big question: who was this movie actually for? In The Static Zone, we compare it to the modern animated Mario movie that finally got it right and think back to a time when this was all we had...and we liked it! Then in Will It VHS?, we break down how this bizarre cult classic could become a full-blown campaign in VHS: Virtual Hero Simulator. A game coming soon from BAMF Games and hitting the table at OttoCon June 6th. It’s weird.It’s messy. It’s covered in fungus…and it might just be badass. Rewind. Be Kind.

Enter the 36 Chambers: The Kung Fu Blueprint of Master Killer

Step inside the temple, Rewind Junkies, because this week we’re diving into The 36th Chamber of Shaolin (Master Killer), the kung fu classic that turned training into an art form and pain into power. Sideburnzombie breaks down why this 1978 Shaw Brothers masterpiece still hits today, how it helped shape the philosophy behind the Wu-Tang Clan, and why every modern action movie owes it a debt. We also get a cal from Mark. The true Master of Shaolin.Check him out in his linked podcast. Tales from the Dust Bin RPG. We’re talking brutal training chambers, real-deal martial arts, and the ultimate underdog glow-up. This isn’t just a movie…it’s a blueprint for becoming a badass. Rewind. Be Kind. Be Badass.

Dead Alive: The Goriest Movie in the Video Store?

This week Sideburnzombie cracks open one of the goriest cult films ever put on tape: Peter Jackson’s splatter classic Dead Alive (aka Braindead). Long before hobbits and Oscars, Jackson unleashed a zombie comedy so over-the-top it used 80 gallons of fake blood in its legendary lawnmower finale. We dig into the story of Lionel, his overbearing mother Vera, the infamous Sumarian rat-monkey, and how one infected bite turns a quiet neighborhood into a full-blown zombie massacre. We also explore why the film was banned or cut around the world, why its outrageous gore still works today, and how it might play as a VHS: Virtual Hero Simulator RPG scenario from BAMF Games. If you love cult cinema, splatter horror, and movies that proudly cross the line of good taste… this one’s for you. Cult Pick: Dead Alive The Static Zone: Does it still hold up? Can It VHS? Turning the movie into a tabletop adventure. So grab the lawnmower…because tonight we’re kicking zombie ass for the Lord. Remember you can rent this (YES!! Rent this) at the Sleepover Trading Co.
