Your Guide to The Rewatchables Podcast
The Rewatchables is the movie podcast that movie lovers have always wanted. Created by Bill Simmons and produced by The Ringer, the show answers a simple question: what makes a movie rewatchable? Not necessarily the best movie, not the most critically acclaimed, but the one you stop and watch every time it's on TV. This distinction gives the show its unique energy — the hosts genuinely love these films and bring the enthusiasm of a late-night conversation between friends who share the same cinematic obsessions.
Each episode is structured around recurring categories that have become beloved traditions among listeners. "What's Aged the Best?" examines which elements of the film hold up or have improved over time. "What's Aged the Worst?" tackles the scenes, performances, or plot points that now feel dated. The "Dion Waiters Award" goes to the actor who delivers the best performance relative to their screen time. "Recasting Couch" imagines who else could have played the lead roles. "Half-Assed Internet Research" provides trivia and behind-the-scenes facts. These categories create a framework that makes every episode feel both structured and spontaneous, as the hosts debate, argue, and occasionally change each other's minds.
The Podcast App is built for the way Rewatchables fans actually consume the show. Most listeners queue up an episode right after watching (or rewatching) the featured film, creating a movie-night-plus-podcast experience. Offline downloads let you save episodes in advance so they're ready immediately after the credits roll. The ad-free experience keeps the conversational momentum intact — nothing kills the post-movie buzz like a three-minute ad read about mattresses. Cross-device sync means you can start listening on your TV room speaker and finish on headphones in bed.
With over 350 movies covered, The Rewatchables archive is essentially a film education delivered through entertaining conversation. The Podcast App's Brain AI feature makes this archive genuinely useful. Search by movie title, actor, director, genre, or era. Ask "Which 80s action movies have they covered?" or "Find episodes featuring discussions about De Niro" and get instant results. For film buffs building a watchlist, The Rewatchables archive plus Brain search creates the ultimate movie recommendation engine. Combined with variable speed playback for binge-listening through the backlog and CarPlay support for long drives, The Podcast App is the definitive way to experience The Rewatchables.
Build Your Movie Knowledge with The Podcast App
The Rewatchables has become a cultural institution for film lovers. The show's categories have entered the lexicon of movie discussion — friends now argue about Dion Waiters Awards and Recasting Couch picks at dinner parties. The Podcast App lets you join that conversation by making the entire archive searchable and accessible. Every great movie deserves a great discussion, and The Rewatchables delivers that for over 350 films.
For listeners who are new to The Rewatchables, the best strategy is to start with movies you've already seen recently. The show is exponentially more enjoyable when the film is fresh in your mind. The Podcast App's search and Brain features help you find those episodes instantly. Over time, the show will also introduce you to films you haven't seen — many listeners report watching movies specifically because The Rewatchables covered them.
The show also works brilliantly as background listening during road trips, with CarPlay support making it easy to queue up several episodes for a long drive. Variable speed playback helps when you're catching up on the backlog, though most fans find that the banter and debates are too entertaining to speed through. The sleep timer handles those late-night listening sessions when you fall asleep mid-debate about whether Pulp Fiction or Heat is more rewatchable.
