Titans is DC's first foray on to Netflix and a clear response to the success of Marvel's TV Universe featuring the likes of daredevil, Punisher, Iron Fist, Luke Cage and Jessica Jones. Approaching the generally light hearted, kid friendly Teen Titans from a dark, grittier perspective didn't sit well with many that said, I've never watched Teen Titans. I know, I'm shit! As I hadn't watched or read any of the source material and instead just knew the characters from research done for my own enjoyment, Titans came at me as something both fun and fresh.
With the DCEU heading in a more family friendly, Marvel-esque direction in order to appease fans and get solid box office returns, Titans grabs hold of what remains of DC's movie darkness and drags it on to the small screen and if you as me it does so to great success. Strong writing, engaging character development and story arcs and awesome action, Titans does a lot of good and I couldn't stop watching once got the ball rolling. Now don't get me wrong, it has its short comings which I discuss in detail in my review but on a whole, I'm really keen to see where Titans goes next.

Welcome to REWIND REPLAY! If you haven't checked the channel out before my name is Steve and love all things movies, T.V., video games and just pop culture in general and I really wanted a place I could discuss it all with others thus- REWIND REPLAY.
REWIND REPLAY is a channel for pop culture lovers of all ages to come together and jump head long into the discussion about all the latest movies, video games and television programs.
Here is what you can expect to see on REWIND REPLAY...
NEW REVIEWS- Reviews of all the latest release movies as well as the latest STAN and NETFLIX movies.
REWIND REVIEWS- Reviews of older movies.I like to look back at what the film was then and see how it has held up today. Often this will be used to build up to a new release.
RANKINGS- Once I've built up a new release movie with REWIND REVIEWS and reviewed the new film as well, I'll go ahead and RANK them from WORST to BEST!
RECASTS- This is where I take a new release movie and shift its release date by a decade or two and RECAST the movie with actors from that time.I also talk a bit about how I think the film would have looked and felt during that era and discuss who might have directed the movie and why.
5 THINGS STILL GREAT ABOUT- This is a new segment looking back at videos game of old and instead of reviewing them and pulling them apart for their dated graphics and game play, instead I look at what is STILL GREAT about the game. Fun, light-hearted and hopefully gets you looking at older games in a new light.
TOP 10's-Coming in a month or so I'll be adding TOP 10's to the agenda. These will either countdown to from 10-1 or I may make them simply 10 moments in no particular order.
