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 subge...

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 motor...

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 Atlan...

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.

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 Ga...

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 ...

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 th...

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 we...

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. Did David Bowie's junk in tights titillate? Were there plot points that horrified her? Were there elements of the love story that were wildly inappropriate in retrospect? The answers to those and so many other questions lie within this episo...

In the first installment of the Unkind Rewind, Josh Duggan and Sean McGrath sit down with Kay from the F**k My Work Life Podcast to get to know her and dive into her relationship to the first film we'll watch for the Unkind Rewind. Listen to find out what movie she hasn't seen in over 30 years that we'll be putting under the microscope.
