Rewind Classic Movies

In this week's Fast Forward, GB and AJ follow up on last week's Legend (1985) episode by counting down their favourite movie make-up and prosthetic creations of all time.Inspired by Rob Bottin's incredible work bringing Darkness to life, the pair each bring five picks to create a combined top 10, running from five down to two, with honourable mentions along the way before revealing their individual number ones.From The Thing and An American Werewolf in London to Terminator 2 and Mrs Doubtfire, the discussion celebrates the artists who transformed actors into unforgettable characters long before CGI became the norm.The guys also explore the pioneers behind the make-up, including Rick Baker, Stan Winston, Rob Bottin and John Chambers, debate whether practical effects still outperform CGI, and uncover one astonishing transformation from a little-known 1930s film that has to be seen to be believed.Next week: It's time to Rewind back to 1989 as GB introduces AJ to Tim Burton's Batman, starring Michael Keaton, Jack Nicholson and Kim Basinger!Get involved:⭐️ Leave us a review on your podcast platform - it really helps the show grow!

GB and AJ are back with another Fast Forward - this time following up last week's deep dive into the 1984 Helen Slater Supergirl with a look at the all-new 2026 version starring Milly Alcock.There's a twist, though. Only one of them has actually seen the new film. The other did go to the cinema this week - just not to see Supergirl.Instead, AJ caught the new Spielberg movie, Disclosure Day, with the family and the pair have thoughts on John Williams, the state of cinema-going, and why sneaking in a bag of supermarket popcorn still feels vaguely criminal even when you're a grown adult.Then it's over to GB, who did make it to see the 2026 Supergirl. How does Milly Alcock's take compare to Helen Slater's? Does the origin story hold up better this time around? And where does it land on the all-important tier rankings?They also touch on the wider DCU picture and the prospect of a Superman and Supergirl team-up, and why David Corenswet might just be the closest thing to Christopher Reeve we're ever going to get.Next week: We Rewind the pick of our Patreons who chose the 1985 Ridley Scott-directed Legend, starring Tom Cruise and Tim Curry!Get involved:⭐️ Leave us a review on your podcast platform - it really helps the show grow!

To celebrate (?!) the release of the all-new Supergirl (Milly Alcock) in 2026, we decided, perhaps foolishly, to Rewind the 1984 original, starring Helen Slater.GB goes into it full of admiration for the woman who defined his preferences for the female species, while AJ has never seen it before (shocker - lucky git).Will GB see it in an objective light? What will AJ make of the bonkers plot and characters?!If you can't face rewatching this movie, then maybe just tune in for our look back.Next week: We Fast Forward to compare the new 2026 Supergirl starring Milly Alcock!Get involved:⭐️ Leave us a review on your podcast platform - it really helps the show grow!

Fresh from the cinema, GB and AJ follow up last week's look at the 1987 original with their reaction to the brand new Masters of the Universe movie!We kick off spoiler-free with first impressions, low expectations that got blown out of the water, and why this might be one of the most cohesive CGI-heavy blockbusters either of us has seen.Then we cross the spoiler line to dig into He-Man, Skeletor and Teela on the big screen - and of course the filthy bros of Fisto and Ram Man - that Dolph Lundgren cameo, the moment that genuinely got us emotional, and why this one's earned a rewatch at the cinema.Next week: We Rewind to 1984 to celebrate the forthcoming new Supergirl movie by looking at the original one with Helen Slater.

In this week's Fast Forward, GB and AJ follow up on the Wayne's World episode with a deep dive into their all-time favourite movie cameos.Inspired by the film's memorable appearances from Alice Cooper, Meatloaf, Ed O'Neill, and Robert Patrick, the pair each bring five picks to build a combined top 10 - running from five down to two, with honourable mentions along the way, before revealing their individual number ones.Among the cameos discussed are Matt Damon's punk singer, Glenn Close's prisoner and a surprise that AJ calls one of his favourite movie moments of all time.The guys also debate what actually qualifies as a cameo - and where the line between cameo and supporting role gets blurry.Patreon listeners also weigh in with their own picks, including Christopher Lloyd and Gene Hackman.Next week: To celebrate the release of a new He-Man movie in 2026, it's time to Rewind back to 1987 for the original Masters Of The Universe with Dolph Lundgren!Get involved:⭐️ Leave us a review on your podcast platform - it really helps the show grow!
