Release Date Rewind

Written by: Straw Hut Media
  • Summary

  • Movie nerd, filmmaker, and anniversary celebrator Mark J. Parker brings a friend on each episode to discuss movies (and sometimes TV shows and music) that are hitting milestone anniversaries of release that month. Think 20th anniversary, 25th, 30th, 40th, 50th, 60th, 70th, 75th, 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 originally created by Greg Clements. The theme song is the instrumental version of "Dance This Out" by singer/songwriter Kyle Motsinger and producer Smoke and Mirrors.

  • Fight Club: Pitt Fest Part 2 (25th anniversary)
    Dec 23 2024
    Show us your Pitts - again! Put your fists in the air because this is Part 2 of "Pitt Fest" celebrating two Brad Pitt movies based on books that hit milestone anniversaries this year. Mark welcomes Brad stan OT Garcia back on the show to break the number 1 rule of Fight Club and discuss the “defining cult movie of our time” for its 25th anniversary. From David Fincher's memorable aesthetic and Tyler Durden's gigolo fashion, to Helena Bonham Carter's scene-stealing smoking and all the sweaty muscles on display, this movie left a mark on many of us (including Mark's high school art teacher). Plus, OT compares the existentialism in the dialogue to another 1999 hit: The Matrix!

  • Interview with the Vampire: Pitt Fest Part 1 (30th anniversary)
    Dec 22 2024
    Show us your Pitts! Brad Pitt starred in two films based on books that are celebrating milestone anniversaries this year, so "Pitt Fest" starts with something you can really sink your teeth into! Mark welcomes mistress of the dark Sabrina Santoro back on the show to discuss the November chiller Interview with the Vampire from Anne Rice and Neil Jordan for its 30th anniversary. This successful moody drama has Brad with long hair, Tom Cruise with blonde hair, and little Kirsten Dunst in tight curls making her breakthrough performance. And Cher was almost going to be in it?! We support gay vampires!

  • A Nightmare on Elm Street (40th anniversary)
    Nov 28 2024
    Come to Freddy! The November chills continue as Mark welcomes two fellow Freddy Krueger fans back to the show to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the groundbreaking 1984 scary movie A Nightmare on Elm Street: critic & podcaster David Gonzalez from The Cinematic Reel (@thecinematicreel) and Reel Chronicles (@reelchronicles), and horror artist Clark Felix (@clarkmakesart87). The guys share memories of when they first watched this iconic scarefest (see Instagram for Mark's Freddy costume as a kid), praise Wes Craven for his clever and creative work (the Nightmare-Scream connection is strong), and they rank the Elm Street franchise (it gets controversial). Plus, Mark's dad chimes in with his memory of seeing this film in the theater 40 years ago. Screw sleep!
