Magical Rewind

I was so excited when I heard Will was hosting another podcast-I have loved listening to him on his Pod Meets World podcast too! I grew up watching DCOMs so I have absolutely loved getting to watch all them back and relive my childhood. It’s been interesting to go back and watch them as an adult. Some of the ones I remember loving as a kid, I didn’t like much as an adult. While others have 100% withstood the test of time and are just as good as I remember! I don’t always agree with Will and Sabrina on their ratings, but I do feel they give each movie a fair chance. Some of these movies are hard to get through. Since Will didn’t grow up watching DCOMs I can see how he’s a little more critical since he doesn’t have the nostalgia many of us do as we watch. But he’s done a good job and has even liked many musicals more than expected! I have also been very impressed with the guests they’ve brought on. They’ve done a phenomenal job finding many well known actors (like Corbin Bleu, Riley Smith and Jason Dolley), and not just brought on lesser known ones. It’s been so fun to hear what each actor is up to now and get behind the scenes stories from the movies I grew up loving!

I usually listen to true crime podcasts. Sometimes those get too heavy and I am so happy I have Magical Rewind available for me to go to! I love reliving the movie with them while they go through it. I often find myself watching the movie after. DCOM ones were such a safe space for me to go to as a child! Love that I get that happy feeling listening to the podcast! Plus Will and Sabrina are fun and funny!

Love this podcast! The hosts, just like the movies they review, are straight from my childhood. It’s just the hit of D-Com movies I’ve been looking for and I laugh out loud at their antics and commentary. Some of my favorite episodes so far were The Tower of Terror and Susie Q. Really looking forward to the spooky season and I hope they do the OG UnderWraps (1997). I’d be interested in what their take is on it. Keep up the great work Sabrina and Will! You’ve made a lifetime listener out of this gal! -Heather

My favorite cheetah girl and my favorite boy meets world character recapping movies that defined my childhood?!?!?!?! Could not be better! Listening to this podcast is like a warm hug. It’s full of joy and fun!! Highly recommend if DCOMs are your thing!

My whole childhood revolved around the Magical World of Disney and Disney Channel / Zoog Disney movie nights. The movies, though not all as remarkable as I remember as a child, still hold a special place in my heart. Therefore I was thrilled when Will and Sabrina announced this podcast. I don’t have enough time to try and rewatch all the movies I remember from childhood so I was excited to have this podcast to revisit them through my daily work commute. Though the hosts have gotten slightly better than they were in the beginning, I’m continually disappointed by their negativity regarding the movies. They are always knocking the cgi and progressiveness of the movies (product of their time). They often say they can’t connect or relate. HELLO - these movies were made for children and not middle age adults. They “try” to imagine what they would have felt if they were children… it’s not working. Most of these movies were an escape for me as a child. They were supposed to be fun, and occasionally teach us about parts of the world and types of people we had never met. As adults, Will and Sabrina are too critical, biased, and expect too much from these movies. They can’t observe and experience these movies with the eyes of a child anymore. The ads are beyond ridiculous. I understand they are trying to receive an income for the work they do (I understand and agree). However, five minutes of ads, nearly every ten minutes, is ridiculous. Yes, there’s a fast forward button, but if you’re wearing ear buds or not near your phone, it’s highly disruptive every time you have to stop and fast forward. I’ve never known another podcast to have so many and so long of ads. And finally, the straw that broke the camel’s back: I can’t believe they would feature Kyle Massey on the podcast. It’s clear that it’s hard for them to get regular interviews with folk from the movies they review. But, I’m absolutely shocked and disgusted that they would associate with someone who was charged with interacting inappropriately with a minor. The actor claims it’s false but I have yet to see a judge clear him of any wrongdoing. This podcast has become nothing but a cash grab. I don’t know what’s lower: the content or the integrity of the hosts / producers.
