Jeff picks Mr. Boogedy, a special he watched during prime Prince Jeffrey era at four years old; and Angie picks It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, mostly because she can’t remember if she’s ever seen it.

September 04, 2020 23:34 - 54 minutes - 37.5 MBTrue to form, Jeff compares his recording f*ck up last week to his spirit character, Tim Taylor.

Angie is no stranger to Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine, but what does she think of his debut and the rest of the mutant gang at Professor X’s school for gifted youngsters? Oh hey, new artwork! We haven’t been around long but feel like we’ve evolved (or MUTATED??) over 17 episodes. It was only fair that the C2R mascot caught up.
Ep 16 - Jungle 2 Jungle
August 21, 2020 12:00 - 46 minutes - 32.1 MBGrab your best loincloth and load your blowgun. We’re headed to the “surface of the SUN” this week for Angie’s pick: Jungle 2 Jungle.

Join us this week as we ...
Ep 15 - Enter the Dragon
August 14, 2020 13:14 - 51 minutes - 35.4 MBAfter finally watching The Last Dance on Netflix, Jeff got to thinking about other larger-than-life icons like Michael Jordan, which led him to this week’s pick, Enter the Dragon, starring the legendary Bruce Lee. Angie’s never seen a kung-fu movie, so why not introduce her to the genre with arguably the best one ever made? Will she dig the Shaolin-style action? The whirling nunchucks? The groovy 70s soundtrack? THE WINNING? Give a listen and find out.
Bonus Ep 1 - Houseguest
August 07, 2020 18:05 - 29 minutes - 20.1 MBSince our crack team of editors took so long on episode 14, we bring you our first BONUS EPISODE out of sheer guilt! We were flying high off some Twitter interaction with first ballot C2R hall-of-famer, Sinbad, so we dug up a movie neither Jeff nor Angie have seen: Houseguest. Sinbad stars alongside the late Phil Hartman, Jeffrey Jones (not OUR Jeffrey Jones) and a whole mess of sped-up film footage as a “con man” hiding from the “mob” and eating a great big pile of McDonald’s in an affluent...
Ep 14 - 10 Things I Hate About You
August 07, 2020 18:00 - 48 minutes - 33 MBHow do we love thee, 90’s teen movies? Let us count the ways.

We’re taking you back to 1999 where the shoes where chunky, the skirts were mini, and the music was grungy. Listen to find out if Jeff falls for Heath Ledger’s take on a charming high-school bad boy or if he prefers to pinch little Joseph Gordon Levitt’s adorable cheeks.

Jeff and Angie talk McDonald’s “Superhero” burgers, Party City costume design, past and present Batmens, and their newest adventures during the pandemic. Listen and ...

Ep 11 - Hook
July 03, 2020 23:26 - 1 hour - 43.8 MBIt’s our first Listener Pick! Due to popular demand, we chose the Stephen Spielberg classic, Hook, starring Robin Williams and Dustin Hoffman. If you were a kid anytime during the 90s, you probably watched (and enjoyed) this fantastical tale that begs the question: What if Peter Pan grew up? Does it hold up for our hosts nearly 30 years later? Get comfy and cozy, children, because HOOKY’S BACK.
Ep 10 - Monty Python & The Holy Grail
June 26, 2020 00:59 - 57 minutes - 39.7 MBMake way for more horses (kind of), sword fighting, accents and muddy terrain for—yes, you guessed it—Jeff’s pick this week: Monty Python & The Holy Grail.

Ep 8 - Transformers: The Movie
June 11, 2020 12:00 - 46 minutes - 32.2 MBA special note from your hosts: We set the podcast aside last week in the wake of the George Floyd protests to reflect, read, listen, and learn about the realities of racism and police violence in our country. We’re committed to making C2R a wacky-fun-time listening experience, but outside of the pod, we vow to add our support in making real, meaningful change. And now back to dumb movies: This week, Jeff sits Angie down to watch Transformers: The Movie from 1986, one of the first films lit...
Ep 7 - Now and Then
May 28, 2020 12:00 - 57 minutes - 39.3 MBAngie shares the 1995 classic, Now and Then, the story of four young girls who grow closer as friends during a pivotal summer in 1970. With the help of a killer oldies soundtrack, a couple of Black Cows, and plenty of bra stuffing discussion, Jeff gets in touch with his inner pre-teen girl. Settle in for their take on Crazy Pete, cliché childbirth scenes, how cool AF Brendan Fraser actually was, and why Rosie O’Donnell makes the ‘Now’ worth watching. And please listen until the very end—we p...
Ep 6 - Aliens
May 21, 2020 11:00 - 51 minutes - 35.2 MBIt’s an exciting week for Cruel to Rewind – you can now find us on pretty much every major podcast platform!

In any case, please like us, follow us or subscribe to us on your preferred app. Jeff sits Angie down to watch the seven-time Oscar nominee from 1986, James Cameron’s Aliens. If you’ve listened to prior episodes, your guess is right: Angie didn’t grow up with a lot of sci-fi action fare. Find out if she deems this film co...
Ep 5 - Good Burger
May 15, 2020 00:00 - 47 minutes - 32.9 MBIt’s week who-even-knows-anymore of quarantine, but Jeff and Angie made it memorable by watching the new Beastie Boys Story documentary. They reminisce about the incomparable trio and why the doc was so special. Angie’s up again and she dusts off the Kenan and Kel classic, Good Burger. As a couple of elder millennials, Nickelodeon was a constant growing up, so how does a film that truly caters to a kid’s sense of humor hold up 23 years later? Dude, we’re going to find out. *squishy Gak sound*
Ep 4 - Unforgiven
May 07, 2020 01:15 - 56 minutes - 38.5 MBJeff and Angie have some strong opinions on pandemic-themed TV commercials after watching live, network programming for the first time in months. For this week’s movie, Jeff shares the Clint Eastwood classic, Unforgiven.

Angie goes in with confidence that Jeff will rewind this movie for a very specific reason. Will he surprise her? Are the hunks still hunky? Are the grooves...
Ep 2 - Braveheart
April 19, 2020 18:58 - 41 minutes - 28.3 MBJeff presents the Oscar-winning, kilted epic from 1995, Braveheart, which he watched countless times on double VHS. Mel Gibson plays Scottish freedom fighter William Wallace, who defies the unjust rule of Richard Harris’ King Edward. There’s plenty of hairy legs, pump-up speeches and hacked limbs for everyone, but will Jeff still like it all these years later? Will Angie deem it cruel to rewind? **Outro music composed and performed by Peter Mowry**
Ep 1 - Big Business
April 19, 2020 18:45 - 41 minutes - 28.3 MBAngie starts us off by digging up a movie she watched to pass the time at Grandma and Grandpa Rivera’s house: Big Business, starring the beloved Bette Midler and Lily Tomlin. Two sets of identical twins are mismatched at birth, resulting in wacky hi-jinx when they end up in NYC together. Twenty years later, does Angie still consider it a favorite? Does Jeff think it would be cruel to rewind?
