Complete Guide

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 experience without app-inserted ads 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.

Build Your Movie Knowledge with The Podcast App

Search public podcast feeds and play available episodes; availability depends on publisher feeds, directories, and platform rules.

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.
