From watching out for trees to getting off planes, we turn to the LAST EPISODE of Rewind 25-52 by talking about the action/adventure film “Air Force One”. Joey Rogate (from our “The Relic” episode, Best Picture Cast, & Worst Picture Cast) joins me to break down all the angles of this film: the wonderful lead performances, the amazing supporting cast, the pitfalls of the script, and the TERRIBLE VFX. In addition, the two assemble Harrison Ford’s Mt. Rushmore, a very famous wedding, and summer shenanigans. It was a pleasure to bring this podcast to you all for 30 weeks!!! The feed will stay ..read more

From visitors from another dimension to talking gorillas, we pivot HARD to a family-friendly comedy starring an icon of the 90s (Brendan Fraser) – “George of the Jungle”. This week I have two guests: Melissa (my wife & co-host of “Below Freezing”) and my sister, Chelsea Clifton (whose last name I get WRONG in the episode) to talk about our early encounters with this movie and what stood out this time: elephant piss, the wrong bridge in San Francisco, and the ageless Leslie Mann. Also, we get into a debate about Brendan Fraser’s Mt. Rushmore, the boyband craze, and Melissa consistently miss ..read more

From the deep blue sea to the infinite landscape of space, we blast off into the unknown in this Robert Zemeckis Sci-Fi thinker: “Contact”. I’m joined by actor/skinny-dipping enthusiast Jordan Williams to break down the major themes of this film: faith vs science, Bill Clinton, and abduction insurance. We also try and build Jodie Foster’s Mt. Rushmore. All of this PLUS a Seinfeld lawsuit, whatever happened to Jon Benet Ramsey, and Shawn Colvin’s big moment You can find us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/rewind2552 You can find us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rewind2552/ You can emai ..read more

From ice puns to face waterfalls, we hop in a speedboat and have our stunt doubles fly towards this action packed film from John Woo: “Face/Off”. I’m rejoined by Grant Zepernick (from Best Picture Cast and Worst Picture Cast) to breakdown all of the glory that is this movie: the dialogue, the expert medical science, and the wonder that is Joan Allen. We also build John Travolta’s Mt. Rushmore, get confused about Dumbledore’s death, and we talk about…well…“Bitch”.

From one sequel that lost its original lead to another, we delve into the colorful world of Gotham City in this fourth installment of the dark knight: “Batman & Robin”. Ben Lawhorn (co-host of “Three Films & a Podcast) joins me to attempt to make sense of this living, breathing toy commercial of a movie and all of its controversies: the nipples on the suit, the treatment of Alicia Silverstone, and ALL of the ice puns!!! Plus, the first WNBA game, a couple of famous divorces, a song from this movie in the Billboard Hot 100, and the launching of a major book franchise. You can find us on ..read more

From the air back to the sea (say what?) and returning the world “unnecessary sequels”, we break out the Sea-Doos and leeches to discuss “Speed 2”. Artie B. (frequent co-host on Best Picture Cast) has his ticket to join Adam aboard cruise filled with bad parents, excess chainsaws, too many golf clubs. Also, why did they make Sandra Bullock’s character so dumb, why did they make this PG-13, and why do we need someone telling us boat speeds? Also, a political divorce, a new #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 that stole it’s beat, and does no one remember UB-40? You can find us on Twitter: https://twitt ..read more

From the sea to the air, we stage a midflight coup with Cyrus the Virus to discuss one of THEE late 90s action flicks: the Nicolas Cage led “Con Air”. Andy Davison (guest on our “Cool World” episode of Below Freezing and co-host Saturday Morning Tuesdays) joins me to revel in the majesty of this film: the best deaths, the best nicknames, and how absolutely stacked this cast is. We also try and assemble Nic Cage’s Mt. Rushmore (not an easy task, let me tell you). Also, interleague baseball, Rickrolling, and do you remember “The Freshman”?

From a movie with painful deaths to just a painful movie to watch, we begrudgingly make our way to one of the worst comedies (is it a comedy if you don’t laugh?) ever made: the Joe Pesci/Danny Glover two-hander “Gone Fishin’”. Beer connoisseur and little brother Nolan Partridge hops into the car and joins me on this road trip film: was there anything funny in this movie, an early credit for the reviver of Star Wars, and incompetent boat operators. Also, another Spice Girls sighting, Dennis Franz’s ass, and the N64 was build to last ..read more

From the grandiose of space to the confinement of a courtroom, we seriously shift over to a quietly forgotten Sidney Lumet film – “Night Falls on Manhattan”. I am joined by me, myself, and I for this and I see if I can talk about a movie by myself for 45 minutes. During the experiment, I talk about Lumet’s Mt. Rushmore, the different halves of the movie (and which one is better than the other), and I somehow use the word “flaccid”. Also, some good & bad baseball moments, a big career move for me, and we ask the question: “Where Have All the Cowboys Gone ..read more

From sociopathic truckers to futuristic cabdrivers, we jump into the wild & wacky world of Luc Besson’s visual odyssey – “The Fifth Element”. Fellow actor and podcast host of “The Ugly Radio” Andrew Shanks joins me to dive right on in to the Diva’s stomach to unpack the elements of this film (see what I did there?): the majesty of the worldbuilding, the less-than-stellar representation of women in this film, and the age-old argument surrounding whether or not Chris Tucker is good in this film. Also, a “Color of Night” story you have to hear to believe, Captain Planet, Tim McGaw karaoke, an ..read more
