Nostalgia is a funny thing. Six friends discussing it is even funnier.
Join us as we reflect on some of the best and worst movies from last century and rewatch them On Second Watch. Did they get better with age? Worse? Only one way to find out...
Join Tim, Chris, Dana, Kari, Nikki, and Dan as we plunge head first into the movies we grew up on and discuss our nostalgia for them. Then, we'll watch the movie together, jump back on the mics, and record our observations. We'll provide both our Nostalgia Score and Rewatch Score to see if the movie aged well, or if it should stay in last century.
We have fun with our show by playing a game of Plot Summary Mad Libs, where we take the plot of the movie make it awkward and mostly dirty with new nouns, adjectives, and verbs. We also have many bonus episodes, such as special interviews with those in the entertainment industry, and our popular "How Would Sean Bean Have Died?" where we cast and kill our favorite Yorkshireman in the movies he was not cast.

We recorded this over a year and a half ago, and I never had the heart to mix it and release it... More so out of spite because I didn't want the show to end. But endings are a part of the cycle. I hope you can enjoy laughing with us one last time. From all of us at On Second Watch, thank you...

Instead of our usual Plot Summary MadLibs, we do a live quiz where the winner gets to choose the next Spin The Wheel category... O...
