The Rewatchables
The Rewatchables is based on a very simple premise: A handful of journalists talk about a movie everyone has seen. That description makes it sound almost annoying—like listening to people rehash their favorite lines from Caddyshack . Far from it. Instead, the hosts—usually led by Bill Simmons and featuring writers and editors from his culture and sports site, The Ringer—break down what makes these movies so endlessly enjoyable. The first season of the podcast, begun in 2017, is rough. At times it felt like Simmons was the only one taking it seriously. But in 2018, they returned with a second season and hit a stride, talking their way through favorites like Die Hard , The Devil Wears Prada , Jaws , and Step Brothers . It's a binge-worthy podcast that will make you want to rewatch movies you've seen hundreds of times.
