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.

    The Goonies & Return to Oz (40th anniveraries)
    Aug 4 2025
    Pirates and Fratellis and bats, oh my! Wheelers and Mombi and electroshock therapy, oh my! It's the 100th episode of Release Date Rewind, and what a way to celebrate with an adventurous summer 1985 double feature of The Goonies and Return to Oz. Mark welcomes '80s girl Solana Sorrento back on the pod to go on a bike ride (The Goonies walked so Stranger Things could run!) and try on a few pretty heads (Disney's Oz is intense!). Before we had TikTok, there was Tik-Tok! Also, find out how The Goonies is connected to Burlesque and where the abandoned Land of Oz amusement park is.

    Paris Hilton agrees that this episode is hot! Mark welcomes longtime friend, collaborator, horror lover, and actress Kit Sheehan back on the pod to take a trip to the House of Wax from 2005. The two reminisce about seeing this "remake" together just weeks before their senior prom and graduation 20 years ago. Plus, they share stories about making a spoof of this slashfest called House of SAKS 5th Avenue, where Kit naturally played Paris. Kit praises the great behind-the-scenes reality show Movie Life: House of Wax that aired on MTV, which you can find on YouTube. Also, other 2005 staples The OC, Brokeback Mountain, and Crash get shout-outs!

    Just One of the Guys (40th anniversary)
    Jun 12 2025
    Happy Pride, Rewinders! Here's an extra queer episode featuring '80s gender bending, sex jokes, and flashing! Mark welcomes fellow podcaster, writer, and movie lover Devin Lotfi back to the show to be his prom date and celebrate the 1985 cult classic Just One of the Guys for its 40th anniversary. Some of you don't know this movie and frankly, how dare you! They each watched it on cable as kids, laughing, gasping, and relating to the experience of hiding your true self and blending in. Before Amanda Bynes disguised herself as a boy in the great She's the Man, Joyce Hyser did it here two decades earlier and busted out that memorable reveal.

    Listen to Devin's podcast I Don't Want To Hear That, about top tier TV series The Comeback, which just celebrated 20 years! We love you, Valerie! @idontwanttohearthat
