The Rewatchables

Bill Simmons and a rotating crew from The Ringer sit down each week to dissect movies that hold up to repeated viewings — the kind of films you stop for every time they pop up on cable. With more than 300 movies covered since the show launched, the archive alone is a treasure for film fans. Episodes break each movie down through a set of recurring categories like the "Dion Waiters Award" for the best scene-stealer, "Apex Mountain" for career peaks, and "Recasting Couch" for hypothetical casting swaps, which gives every discussion a playful competitive edge. The regular roster includes Chris Ryan, Sean Fennessey, and Craig Horlbeck, each bringing different cinematic taste that sparks genuine debate. Bill's sports-minded analogies collide with Sean's film-school depth, and the chemistry between the various host combinations keeps the show from ever feeling formulaic. One week they might tackle Pulp Fiction, the next it's a mid-90s action movie most people forgot about. A major development hit in early 2026 when Netflix and Spotify announced a deal to bring The Rewatchables to Netflix as a video podcast, giving the show a visual dimension it never had before. The production from The Ringer is consistent and energetic, with episodes running 60 to 90 minutes — long enough to go deep but not so long that they drag. If you have strong opinions about which John Carpenter movie is the most rewatchable, this is your podcast.
