Release Date Rewind

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.

  • 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!

  • Ichabod and Mr. Toad (75th) & Sleepy Hollow (25th)
    Nov 1 2024
    Halloween may be over now already, but the Headless Horseman rides whenever he wants! Mark welcomes horror filmmaker and podcaster Christopher Wesley Moore to the podcast to gallop out of the city and into Sleepy Hollow. They celebrate not one but two beloved adaptations of the Washington Irving story: the 1949 Disney anthology film The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad for its 75th anniversary and the 1999 Tim Burton version for its 25th anniversary. They share memories of discovering the short animated Bing Crosby musical on the Disney Channel, and rave about the production design, twist reveal, and death scenes in the live action Johnny Depp thriller. Plus, Mark has a Sleepy Hollow-inspired tattoo!

  • Friends (30th anniversary)
    Oct 22 2024
    How you doin'? It's "must see TV" time as Mark welcomes longtime friend and Friends expert Melissa Ward back to the podcast to discuss the classic sitcom for its 30th anniversary. The Fall of '94 gave us premieres of memorable TV series and Friends became the biggest of them all. Mark and Mel discuss the most talked about episodes through the ten seasons, from the one where it all began to the last one, blushing over the sexual innuendos and wondering who would be considered to be the lead. Plus, The WB's Popular gets a shout-out for its 25th anniversary!

    Pivot yourselves over to YouTube for the second part of this discussion where Mark asks Mel rapid-fire trivia questions to test her impressive knowledge: https://www.youtube.com/@releasedaterewind/videos
