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.

Stand By Me (40th anniversary)
"I never had any friends later on like the ones I had when I was 12 years old. Jesus, does anyone?" Mark celebrates 40 years of the classic American film Stand By Me with none other than Paul McGuire Grimes, a superfan of this movie and of movies in general! Paul talks about his exciting career reviewing films and interviewing celebs, plus we get a look at his dvd collection in his own version of the Criterion closet. Mark shares his experience of seeing a screening and Q&A with the stars of this film last year, and they mourn the losses of the great Rob Reiner and River Phoenix.
