Friday Night Rewind

Sean Connery won an Oscar for The Untouchables. But was Malone his best performance—or was he even better as Henry Jones Sr. in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade?

Jason and Scott weigh in. Our full rewind of The Untouchables (1987) drops Friday.

Seven films. Two Short Kings. Absolutely nobody reading the Latin out loud.

We’re closing out October with forbidden books, mysterious puzzle boxes, dangerous magic, and some very questionable parenting decisions. This month’s Four for Friday takes Jason and Scott into the occult—and Scott is extremely ready for horror month to be over.

From the nightmare of raising Damien to Clive Barker’s twisted imagination, John Carpenter’s creeping dread, and the woods that changed horror forever, we revisit seven films worth turning the lights down for:

• The Omen (1976)
• Lord of Illusions (1995)
• Prince of Darkness (1987)
• The Witch (2015)
• Hellraiser (1987)
• The Pale Blue Eye (2022)
• The Blair Witch Project (1999)

Along the way: unforgettable scores, practical effects, growing up around Salem, stories that still give us the creeps, and the eternal question of whether you should ever open that box.

A quick production note: A recording issue cost us the end of this episode, including our discussion of The Ninth Gate and our full sign-off. You’ll hear us promise eight films, but seven made it into the finished episode. Thanks for bearing with us—and consider this our missing goodbye: thanks for spending another Friday with us. We’ll see you next week.

• Why knowing the ending changes the rewatch.

🍖 You are who you eat. And in Ravenous (1999), that's a whole lot more than a figure of speech.

This week on Friday Night Rewind, Jason (SKJ) and Scott (SKS) sink their teeth into one of the most bizarre, deliciously twisted, and criminally underrated horror films of the '90s!

Starring Guy Pearce and Robert Carlyle, Ravenous takes us to a remote military outpost in the 1840s, where a mysterious stranger, a chilling legend, and an appetite for human flesh turn an already strange situation into an absolute nightmare.

Part horror, part Western, part pitch-black comedy, Ravenous is a movie that refuses to fit neatly into any genre. With its unforgettable performances, wildly unconventional soundtrack, and wicked sense of humor, it's a cult favorite that deserves a much bigger audience.

So pull up a chair, bring your appetite, and join the Two Short Kings for a feast of movie conversation.

Just maybe don't ask what's for dinner. 🩸🍽️

Scott would rather leave the dinner party. Jason might BE the reason everyone needs to leave. 🍽️😂

This week on Friday Night Rewind, we're sinking our teeth into RAVENOUS (1999), the gloriously twisted horror-comedy starring Guy Pearce and Robert Carlyle.

Sleep all day. Party all night. Never grow old. Never die.

This week, Jason and Scott head to Santa Carla for The Lost Boys (1987) — Joel Schumacher’s endlessly stylish collision of vampires, comedy, horror, killer music, and pure ’80s energy.

Jason revisits a movie that meant a lot to him growing up, Scott confronts a genre that has never exactly been his comfort zone, and the Short Kings tackle the important question:

Is The Lost Boys basically The Goonies… with fangs?

Plus, we get into the cast, the soundtrack, the style, the scares, and why The Lost Boys still feels unlike just about any other vampire movie.

What do you think: The Lost Boys or The Goonies? And where does The Lost Boys rank among the great vampire movies?

Sam Raimi’s Darkman is violent, weird, wildly inventive, completely ridiculous—and somehow it all works.

This week on Friday Night Rewind, Jason and Scott revisit Raimi’s 1990 cult classic starring Liam Neeson as Peyton Westlake, a scientist left horribly disfigured who uses his experimental synthetic skin to become something resembling a superhero… maybe.

We get into the movie’s gloriously over-the-top action, Raimi’s unmistakable style, the absurd set pieces that make absolutely no sense but remain ridiculously fun, Liam Neeson going FULL Liam Neeson, and how Darkman feels like an early testing ground for ideas Raimi would eventually bring to Spider-Man.

Is Darkman actually a superhero movie? Does any of its logic matter when it’s this much fun? And just how much Liam Neeson can one movie possibly contain?

Darkman makes almost no sense — and somehow that’s exactly why it works. 😂

Machine-gun legs. Cars hidden inside shipping containers. Unlimited bullets. Peak Liam Neeson. And underneath all that insanity, you can already see Sam Raimi developing the style that would eventually lead him to Spider-Man.

This Friday, we’re rewinding Darkman (1990) and all of its gloriously ridiculous ’80s energy.

Martin Scorsese has spent more than five decades making some of the most influential, quotable, and endlessly rewatchable movies ever put on screen — so naturally, Jason and Scott are narrowing that filmography down to just four picks each.

This week on Friday Night Rewind, the Short Kings build their personal Scorsese foursomes, debate the movies that belong at the top of his career, and get into what makes his best work hit so hard. Along the way, Jason makes the case that Goodfellas may be an even better movie than The Godfather — and Scott’s response is simply: “I think you’re okay there.”

Eight Scorsese movies. Two very different lists. Plenty to talk about.

Jason has absolutely nothing he would change about Goodfellas — and if someone asked him where to start with mob movies, he might even put it ahead of The Godfather.

This Friday, Four for Friday returns with Martin Scorsese. Jason and Scott each pick four films from one of the greatest filmographies ever assembled — eight iconic films, eight personal picks, and plenty to talk about.

Episode 13 of Friday Night Rewind cracks open Sneakers (1992), the ridiculously stacked techno-thriller starring Robert Redford, Sidney Poitier, Dan Aykroyd, River Phoenix, Mary McDonnell, David Strathairn, and Ben Kingsley.

We’re talking about why this movie still works, the chemistry of that incredible ensemble, its weirdly prescient take on technology, privacy, surveillance, and information—and why Sneakers deserves a much bigger place in the conversation about great ’90s movies.

Plus: the usual tangents, arguments, nostalgia, and two Short Kings trying to figure out how a movie from 1992 managed to see so much of our future coming.

Galaxy Quest somehow pulled off the impossible: it lovingly mocked Star Trek, fandom, conventions, washed-up actors, and sci-fi clichés — while becoming a genuinely great sci-fi movie in its own right.

This week on Friday Night Rewind, Jason and Scott rewind the 1999 cult classic starring Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver, Alan Rickman, Sam Rockwell, Tony Shalhoub, and an absolutely loaded supporting cast.

We get into the movie’s relationship with Star Trek and its fans, the Thermians, Alan Rickman’s incredible Alexander Dane, Guy Fleegman’s fear of being the expendable crew member, the practical effects and creature work, why CGI doesn’t impress us the way it used to, and the surprising amount of heart underneath all the comedy.

Plus, we tackle the question that has started more arguments than it probably should:

Is Galaxy Quest actually one of the best Star Trek movies ever made?

Never give up. Never surrender.

Never give up. Never surrender.

This week, Friday Night Rewind is celebrating Galaxy Quest, the 1999 sci-fi comedy that somehow became both one of the funniest Star Trek spoofs ever made and a genuinely great science-fiction adventure in its own right.

Jason and Scott revisit Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver, Alan Rickman, Sam Rockwell, Tony Shalhoub and the incredible ensemble cast, the movie’s affectionate relationship with Star Trek and fandom, its hilarious Thermians, the genius of Alexander Dane, Guy Fleegman’s fear of becoming the expendable crew member, and the moments where Galaxy Quest stops parodying Star Trek and starts becoming the real thing.

We also get into the movie’s practical effects, models, costumes and creature work; the rise of CGI and why practical filmmaking is becoming exciting again; some of our favorite performances, scenes and lines; the surprisingly emotional heart underneath all the comedy; and why Galaxy Quest has only become more beloved in the 25+ years since its release.

Plus: how do actual Star Trek fans feel about Galaxy Quest — and does it deserve to be considered one of the best Star Trek movies even though it isn't technically a Star Trek movie?

The full Galaxy Quest episode arrives Friday.

Mel Gibson. James Horner. Huge battles. Huge emotions. And one of the most historically inaccurate Best Picture winners ever made.

This week on Friday Night Rewind, Jason and Scott revisit Braveheart (1995), the epic that turned William Wallace into a pop-culture icon and became one of the defining historical dramas of the ’90s. We talk about Mel Gibson’s performance and direction, the scale of the battle scenes, James Horner’s incredible score, the romance, the speeches, the violence, and the question hanging over the entire movie: how much should historical accuracy actually matter when the storytelling works this well?

Plus: the Battle of Stirling, “FREEEEDOM!,” Patrick McGoohan being gloriously evil, the absolutely massive emotional swings, the things the movie gets hilariously wrong, and why Braveheart still has the power to completely sweep you up even when you know history is sitting in the corner shaking its head.

Is Braveheart a great historical movie, a great movie that happens to use history, or both? And how much accuracy do you actually need from a film before the liberties start getting in the way?

Braveheart is considered one of Hollywood’s most historically inaccurate films. But does that actually make it a worse movie?

For our second Four for Friday, we’re going full Schwarzenegger.

Jason and Scott each bring four Arnold movies to the table — eight films total — spanning action classics, sci-fi insanity, comedy, one-liners, explosions, and the kind of movie-star charisma they simply do not manufacture anymore.

Which movies hold up? Which ones surprised us? And which eight made the cut?

Eight Schwarzenegger movies. Two short kings. One very big episode.
