The Overdue Leading Role for Julie BenzThis week Jonah⁠ tells ⁠Keeks⁠ the tale of the short lived ABC superhero series No Ordinary Family, starring Michael Chiklis and pod favorite Julie Benz. Jonah discusses the special effects and what makes the story unique to the superhero genre. Something like open communication between family members and close friends about super powers was rare at the time. This show came out when many drama series, especially teen dramas, used secrets to drive conflict in their stories.  Buffy was one of the few characters that had friends in on the secret, but her mother wasn’t brought into the fold until the second season.What led to the cancellation of this series? Did ABC want to create a super series on the heels of Smallville’s 10 season run? Was the Disney subsidiary looking to dip their toes in superhero television after their 2009 acquisition of Marvel? Or, were low ratings to blame?  Watch, or listen, to find out.Things to Know about No Ordinary FamilyNo Ordinary Family was created by Greg Berlanti and Jon Harmon Feldman. Berlanti and Feldman also served as showrunners for the short lived series. The series starred the aforementioned Chiklis (Jim Powell) and Benz (Stephanie Powell) along with Kay Panabaker (Daphne Powell), Jimmy Bennett (J.J. Powell), Autumn Reeser (Katie Andrews), and Romany Malco (George St. Cloud).This superpowered family drama debuted on ABC  for streaming on Paramount + with Showtime on September 28, 2010 and wrapped April 5, 2011. At the time of the recording, the series had a Tomatometer score of 71 percent and a Popcorn Meter rating of 83 percent.No Ordinary Family SynopsisNo Ordinary Family is a 2010 fantasy drama TV series that follows the Powell family, who gain superpowers after surviving a plane crash in the Amazon rainforest. Jim, the father, discovers he has super strength; his wife, Stephanie, gains super speed; their daughter, Daphne, can read minds; and their son, JJ, develops genius-level intelligence. As they try to balance their new abilities with everyday life, they uncover a deeper conspiracy involving others with powers. Follow, Subscribe, Rate & ReviewSubscribe to receive the latest episodes.

Welcome back to The Rewind Podcast! Jonah⁠ and ⁠Keeks⁠ brave the Miami heat to find out if Dexter: Original Sin lives up to the legacy of the Dexter franchise.Keeks is a Dexterverse newcomer, and Jonah is a fan of the original series and the 2021 revival Dexter: New Blood. With eight seasons (96 episodes) of Dexter and 10 episodes of the revival, there is a lot of lore to cover, but the best part of a prequel series is that a newcomer can start viewing without the weight of show canon. However, there is a downside. Fan service and callbacks are lost to Dexter newbies. Jonah carefully navigated his responses to Keeks’ wild takes. He walks through show history without too many spoilers, so Keeks has just enough to keep him interested in continuing his Dexter journey.And yes, your hosts take a moment to gush over Buffy the Vampire Slayer alumni Sarah Michelle Gellar (SMG) and Julie Benz, both existing in the Dexterverse. Did you realize another fandom franchise Jonah and Keeks share is now part of this world? Here’s a hint, SMG appears in that franchise as well. How does the show hold up? Will Keeks keep watching the show? Watch, or listen, to find out.Follow, Subscribe, Rate & ReviewSubscribe to receive the latest episodes. You can listen or watch on ⁠YouTube⁠ and ⁠Spotify.

Welcome back to The Rewind Podcast! This week, Jonah⁠ and ⁠Keeks⁠ ask, “Why are we touching unidentified relics” while discussing the 2022 reimaging of the 1987 horror film Hellraiser.Hellraiser (2022) is the first film in an attempt to revive the long-running, cult classic kicked off by Clive Barker. Eight different directors added to the Hellraiser mythos from 1987 to 2018. David Bruckner stepped into the 11th installment and brought some changes to the story. This remake saw additions to the design of the Lament Configuration, the puzzle box. This box is the key to summoning Pinhead and her cult of monstrous Cenobites. Pinhead and the Cenobites also received a design upgrade. Instead of leatherbound fetish gear, their nouveau couture is designed from their peeled flesh. This adds a level of grotesque discomfort to the character designs and the overall feel of the film. The most exciting upgrade came in the casting of Trans actress Jamie Clayton (Sense 8) as the High Priestess, also known as Pinhead. In the original story The Hellbound Heart, from which the original Hellraiser film is based, Pinhead’s voice is described as more feminine. This new casting of the character makes this version of the Hellraiser antagonist more in line with the original concept of the Pinhead character in the novella.After a conversation about the casting of Goran Višnjić (E.R. and Practical Magic) as Roland Voight, the architect of the protagonist’s misfortunes, Jonah and Keeks find a way to bring the Buffyverse to the conversation. It’s not an episode of The Rewind Podcast without a good rabbit chase. But, the hosts get back on track to discuss the lore of the Hellraiser universe, the cursed monkey paw that is the Lament Configuration, and Keeks’ strong feelings towards the film's protagonist. How did the hosts feel about the film overall?
