  • The Retro Rewind Podcast is sure to become a classic for anyone looking to fuel their nostalgia for films and video games from 15 or more years ago. It quickly became a regular in my podcast rotation since happily discovering it nearly five years ago. Francisco and Paul (along with their rotating guest hosts) do an excellent job with their commentary and rating of classic titles. I can't recommend this podcast enough!
