Home of 80s and 90s Nostalgia
The Rewind is a place to relax, unwind and envelop yourself in the culture of the era through movies, TV, games and music. I’ll take deep dives into particular titles to remind us why this period of production was so special. Every month I’ll add new content including quizzes, blogs, memorabilia, recipes, playlists and more.

7 ALIEN SIDEKICKS IN 80S FILMS
The 80s was a smorgasbord of films concerning friendly alien-like creatures. I decided to take a look as some of these creatures, and consider their attribute and shortfalls.
