FANTASY TRAVEL COMPANIONS: Laughs, Legends & Lessons
Season 2, Ep. 24
•
GB and AJ follow up on last week's Planes, Trains and Automobiles episode with a fun one: which movie characters would you most want as a travel companion?
The rules are simple - it's the character, not the actor, and you're travelling in the time and place of their film.
From crocodile hunters to karate masters, the boys reveal their top five picks each and make the case for why they'd be the ultimate road trip companion.
Expect disagreements, some very questionable Australian accents, and wildly different number-one choices.
In this episode:
- Would you rather travel with Neal or Dell from Planes, Trains and Automobiles?
- Crocodiles, stubbies, and a very specific knife situation 🐊
- The Ghostbusters dilemma - can you really pick just one?
- And a number one choice that might just be the most wholesome pick in podcast history
Next week: We travel to 1992 and venture inside Wayne's World. Asphincter says what?.

23. PLANES, TRAINS & AUTOMOBILES (1987): Strangers, Showers and Sobbing
01:10:00||Season 2, Ep. 23John Hughes. Steve Martin. John Candy. A shower curtain ring salesman, a grumpy ad exec, and the most emotionally devastating comedy of 1987. This movie has 93% on Rotten Tomatoes but only 72% on Meteoritic. So where will we end up on it? (The Patreons will NOT be happy with AJ).We dig into what makes this film so beloved - and whether it holds up if you've never seen it before.Also: why Project Hail Mary is the best 80s film we've seen in years, and a deep dive into Roger Moore-era Bond.Next week: Inspired by the oddball partnership of Neal and Del, we pick our fantasy travel companions from the movies!

They might even pick from the same movie - but will it be the same car?!?Plus listener picks, honourable mentions, why they hate modern cars and AJ tells a story about a wheel falling off at 60mph.Next week: Inspired by vehicles, we look at a movie which heavily features them - even its title is a list of forms of transport!Get involved:⭐️ Leave us a review on your podcast platform - it really helps the show grow!

01:18:25||Season 2, Ep. 19It's 1987 - Rick Astley is never gonna give you up, MTV just launched and a gang of very cool, very dangerous vampires are running Santa Carla. GB and AJ rewind Joel Schumacher's cult classic The Lost Boys: how it reinvented the vampire genre for the MTV generation, why the soundtrack might be bigger than the movie itself, and whether style trumps substance. And why does it feel like 2 different movies, with the final act coming across like a Goonies sequel? And was it anything to do with Goonies director Dick Donner being the original director?!?Oh, and AJ gets absolutely roasted in the comments section, Patreons deliver some passionate and contradcitory verdicts.Next week: Inspired by the amazing soundtrack, we look at our Favorite Movie Soundtracks of all time!Get involved:⭐️ Leave us a review on your podcast platform—it really helps the show grow!📩 Email: rewindclassicmovies@gmail.com🎟️ Want bonus content & early access?

17. DISNEY'S BLACK HOLE (1979): Walt's Darkest Movie & An Unhinged Ending!
01:12:02||Season 2, Ep. 17You probably haven't seen it. You may never have heard of it.But Disney's The Black Hole (1979) is one of the most ambitious - and bizarre - films the studio ever made. It cost $20 million, earned two Oscar nominations, and then almost completely vanished.This week, GB and AJ dust it off and find a film that's darker, weirder, and more fascinating than it has any right to be, complete with a bonkers ending, a murderous robot, and one scene AJ has apparently never forgotten since childhood. ⚠️ TW: CA (Brief mention for less than 20 seconds between minute 21 and 22).Next week: Inspired by VINCENT from The Black Hole, we look at our favorite movie robots of all time!Get involved:⭐️ Leave us a review on your podcast platform—it really helps the show grow!📩 Email: rewindclassicmovies@gmail.com🎟️ Want bonus content & early access?
