Rewind or Die – Cult Movies, Trash Cinema, and Deep Dives

by Adam Chase

Rewind or Die is a comedy podcast about movies that are weird, wild, or way more important to us than they probably should be. Hosted by three friends with strong opinions and questionable priorities, each episode dives headfirst into a different cult classic, box office bomb, or nostalgic fever dream from the video store era. Expect deep movie breakdowns, absurd tangents, pointless arguments, unhinged theories, and the occasional debate over things like cursed action figures, haunted Chuck E. Cheeses, or whether Jack Burton could survive American Gladiators. If you love pop culture chaos, long conversations that spiral into madness, and the kind of movie talk that feels like arguing in your friend’s basement at 1 a.m.—you’re home now. New episodes every week. Bring snacks.
