The only thing better than watching a great movie is rewatching it
The Rewatchables is a podcast from The Ringer where Bill Simmons and a rotating cast of friends and colleagues break down the movies they can't stop watching. Each episode does a deep dive into a beloved film, discussing the historical context during which it was released, what place in their careers the various cast and crew members were in when making it, and what is the lasting legacy of the movie, looking at it from a contemporary perspective.

About The Rewatchables
Born of a special episode of the Bill Simmons Podcast discussing the 20th anniversary of the 1995 cult classic "Heat", The Rewatchables were officially launched in 2017, and have since become one of the most popular movie podcasts in the world. Hosted by Bill Simmons and featuring regulars like Chris Ryan, Sean Fennessey, Van Lathan, and a deep bench of Ringer staffers and guests, the show picks apart the movies you've seen a hundred times, and makes you want to watch them again.
The podcast is most well known for its many categories, such as “The Hottest Take,” “Dion Waiters Award,” “Apex Mountain,” and “Cruise or Hanks?” — recurring segments that have seeped into the foundations of the show's identity, and became part of the lexicon shared among its devoted fans.
The Rewatchables is produced by The Ringer, part of Spotify.
