Re:Viewing

In 1980, or 1982, or maybe even 1984, the wonderfully odd little movie, The Gods Must Be Crazy, was born. Since then, it has simultaneously confused and cracked up those who watch it, including us. The Gods Must Be Crazy follows the adventure of Ki, an African Bushman who slowly, and hilariously, discovers the civilized world. Please follow the Re:Viewing podcast on Instragram @reviewingpodcast for all the newest updates on our (erratic) posting schedule. Also, you can message us on Instragram with all of your movie suggestions! Enjoy!

Well, we most certainly took our time, and now we are taking our chances with the 1982 classic Rocky III, starring Sylvester Stallone, Carl Weathers, and Mr. T. Thank you so much for bearing with us on our brief hiatus, and we are planning on uploading more regularly going forward. After all, when we are at home may as well watch some movies, right! Rocky III was perfect to get back on the street with, and we hope you enjoy.

"The Day the Music Died" was 72 years ago this month. We saw it fitting to watch 1987's "La Bamba" to celebrate the career and too-short life of Ritchie Valens. Loads of good music (both the originals and the remakes) and a mystical back story made this a solid biopic. Our newest platform to connect with us is Instagram - follow us on reviewingpodcast. Come on, let's go there!

For our final episode of 2019 we Re:Viewed Robocop, the 1987 futuristic movie that spawned numerous sequels(we can't figure out why). We thoroughly enjoyed Robocop in all of it's weird, hodge-podge glory. As we leave 2019 we would like to give a sincere thank you to everyone who listens to our podcast. It has been so much fun to create, and we hope it has been as much fun to listen. Here's to an even better 2020! Enjoy.

This episode we Re:View a classic Martin Scorsese film, The Color of Money. As we mention in the episode, it is not nearly his best work, but we thoroughly enjoyed it nonetheless. Please connect with us via Instagram on our new account ReViewingPodcast. We will be posting show updates and listener polls. For those of you who are less social media savvy, feel free to email us at viewingre@gmail.com with any movie suggestions or general comments! Enjoy, and see you next week!

Not "The Breakfast Club," not "Pretty in Pink," not "Sixteen Candles," it's "Some Kind of Wonderful!" While it still is John Hughes, certainly not as well known as his other classics. This is a very different type of film than we normally Re:View, but we enjoyed it nonetheless. Listen, subscribe, and tell all your friends (whether they're popular or not). We will (hopefully) see you next week!

It is November, 2019. Are you prepared to take the Voight-Kampff test? We watched "Blade Runner," Ridley Scott's 1982 classic. As you will hear in the episode, apologies for our hiatus. We sincerely hope to be back on a weekly release schedule. Remember to subscribe so our new episodes will be delivered directly to you for your listening pleasure. Enjoy, whether you are a replicant or not!

With Halloween rapidly approaching we decided to watch a kind of horror kind of comedy, An American Werewolf in London. We had a great but semi-confusing time watching this movie, and we are sure you will have the same feeling listening to this episode! As we mention at the end of the episode, we would really appreciate some listener input and suggestions for Re:Viewing. Tweet us @rvwingpodcast or maybe for the less tech savvy listeners e-mail at viewingre@gmail.com. You might just get a mention in one of our future shows! By the way, this episode is best enjoyed with a Dr. Pepper. After all, we are all Peppers!

For the first non-roadshow of Re:Viewing Season 2 we watched Predator, the 1987 Schwarzenegger movie that led to a host of remakes and adaptations including Alien vs. Predator, and many others. We are trying to establish a more regular posting schedule of having a new episode drop every Sunday night, but we may not always achieve that goal. However, if there is a week that we don't upload and you are really in the mood for some Re:Viewing, go check out some earlier episodes from Season 1! Enjoy!

We just wanted to let all of our listeners know what has been going on with us recently. We have missed doing Re:Viewing very much, but will be getting back into the swing of things soon. Stay tuned for more awesome Re:Views in the next couple of weeks! In the meantime, why not go for a throwback, and listen to our very first episode on Bloodsport? Crazy to think its been almost one whole year since that episode first dropped!

For our third episode of Re:Viewing On The Road we watched and chatted about Alfred Hitchcock's 1956 film The Man Who Knew Too Much.

For our second road show we throw it back to an undisputed classic, Casablanca. Romance, intrigue, Bogey and Bergman - we talk about it all with Henry's grandma.

For our first episode of the second season of Re:Viewing we watched the 1987 naval aviation movie, Top Gun.

This episode will get you pumped up for the new Maverick movie coming out next year! Enjoy!
