About this listen

Movie nerd, filmmaker, and anniversary celebrator Mark J. Parker brings a friend on each episode to discuss movies (and sometimes TV shows) that are hitting milestone anniversaries of release that month. Think 20th anniversary, 25th, 30th, 40th, 50th, you get it! They'll dive in together, discussing fun facts, memorable moments, and what makes these movies worth a rewind all these years later. Let's get nostalgic! The podcast logo was designed by Straw Hut Media, inspired by Greg Clements' original art. The theme song is the instrumental version of "Dance This Out" by singer/songwriter Kyle Motsinger and producer Smoke and Mirrors.

  • Clueless (30th anniversary)
    Oct 1 2025
    You're not totally buggin' - Clueless is now 30 years old! To celebrate, Mark welcomes his homies Melissa Ward and Jason Kashiwagi back on the show to take a trip down memory freeway. This trendsetting, aspirational Amy Heckerling classic only gets better with age, but they wonder if the romantic ending is actually pretty weird and ponder what direction the upcoming TV show continuation could go in. Plus, Mark shares what happens in his Clueless 2 script that he wrote in elementary school, the trio decides if Paul Rudd or Jeremy Sisto was cuter, and the other 1995 teen movie Kids (less virgins in that one) gets a shout-out.

  • Disney animator Peter Raymundo
    Sep 16 2025
    It's an especially *animated* episode because Mark welcomes talented animator, illustrator, and author Peter Raymundo on the show! The two of them rewind to the '90s and early 2000s when Peter was an animator at Disney, working on classic hit films Mulan, Lilo & Stitch, The Lion King, Pocahontas, The Emperor's New Groove, and more! Learn how Peter was plucked out of college to work for Mickey, and he explains which roles did what work in the drawing room. Plus, Peter's recent graphic novel, Lucky Scramble, is a hit with kids, and he's about to release his ninth children's book, Moby Duck, out next month! You can often find him at conventions, just like Mark did earlier this year. https://www.raymundoarts.com/

  • Jaws (50th anniversary)
    Aug 31 2025
    Get out of the water... so you can listen to this episode! Summer isn't over yet, so Mark celebrates 50 years of the first summer blockbuster: Jaws! Joining him for a chat at sea is longtime friend, screenwriter, and film lover C.C. Webster, who also was with him in Martha's Vineyard earlier this summer for the Spielberg movie's big anniversary weekend. They discuss how their visit to the island was, show off their swag, and share what weird thing Richard Dreyfuss said on the mic at the screening. Plus, Mark puts C.C. to the test with a trivia game! And the great Wes Craven, who also has a Martha's Vineyard connection, gets a shout-out 10 years after his passing.
