The Rewatchables - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I have literally re-listened to many of these podcasts because they are so entertaining.
These guys are my age (at least Simmons is), so all the details regarding context of history are spot on.
Simmons is especially entertaining, and his take on how annoying the cat as a cast member of Alien is one of the funniest things I have ever heard. His regular dismissal of a myriad of issues, along with his back and forth with Ryan and Fennesey, is both enlightening, and ridiculous.
These guys really know and get film.
They love it, and I love this podcast.

Bill Simmons and crew are hilarious and informative about all things cinematic. I love the cultural and sports references peppered in. Best podcast available

A great reason to dive into some of the biggest movies of the 20th century. Unsurprisingly excellent episodes on movies like Goodfellas or Boogie Nights. But even the less critically acclaimed movies lead to fun episodes. There is certainly something to be said for the Criterion Channel caliber films or the IMDB top rated list, but this podcast highlights significant films, some that have been seemingly lost to time. Learned a lot about actors, directors, eras. The discussions are fun, I like the rhythm of the categories. Bill’s a great MC and the cast of co-hosts is good for variety. Some are better than others, but that’s how these things go. It’s a great show.

Just listened to the Alien review and it was great! Five stars across the board. My favorite part was the sound clips of the actual movie, genius! I’ve never heard sound clips of the actual movie in a podcast and it was surprising. It’s one of my favorite movies and I could visually piece together the scene in my head just from hearing the audio and I loved that. GREAT natural chemistry between the hosts which is always a must for a great podcast. Very funny and genuine. Subscribed and looking forward to listening to the rest.

The earliest episodes with Simmons, Ryan and Fennessey had a joy and a charm to them and the movies were actually rewatchable. As time went on and hosts were added it became banal content generation. By the time Van Lathan was added as a host the paucity of ideas was clear; let’s add a host who replaces nouns, verbs and adverbs with swear words. The occasional swear can add excitement or emphasis. I thought the Ringer was a group of writers also recording podcasts. Why all the cursing? Oh well… still a few early gems worth listening to.

I consider myself a Rewatchables “superfan.” I’m one of those psychos who listen even when I have not seen the movie, even when that movie is “Sea of Love.” Unfortunately, I think these live shows are terrible. Worse sound quality, less flow. I can’t exactly explain it, but I’ve found myself skipping these. And they’re burning movies I actually like. I wrote the review because I wondered if I’m the only one who dislikes the live show?
