Welcome to Rewind Movie Club!
Hey, glad you’re here! 👋 My name is Gannon Nordberg, and I run Rewind Movie Club.
Rewind Movie Club is for movie lovers who catch the practical effects and the perfect needle drop, and want to:
Press play with confidence, with picks from people who share your taste instead of an algorithm guessing
Find old favorites worth a rewatch and new releases worth your night, without 40 minutes of scrolling first
Talk about what you noticed with fellow fans who care about the same details
It’s free, and it lands every Thursday.
“If you’re tired of endless scrolling trying to decide what to watch, this Substack has you covered. Lots of great suggestions from our community of film fanatics.”
— Laura Barney, Beyond the Frame

👋 Who am I?
Hi, I’m Gannon.
I’ve logged and rated over 1,500 movies, and I’ve been a Netflix customer since the red-envelope DVD days in 2006. I grew up on T2, Jaws, and Die Hard. These days, my main pick each week comes from the last 10 years, and The rewind brings back an older favorite.
Most nights, I unwind with a movie in my basement home theater. Usually alone. My family doesn’t share my taste, so a lot of great movies ended with nobody to talk to about them.
Turns out alone is a great way to watch. No phones, nobody talking over the score. The only thing missing is someone to tell afterward.
I’m no film critic. I’m the friend who always knows what to watch next. That’s why I started Rewind Movie Club. My picks are one half of it. Yours are the other.
🍿 Subscribe and you’ll get
Every Thursday, I’ll send you a free newsletter with a handful of picks from me and fellow club members, so you always know what to watch next.
Each newsletter rotates three or four of these:
My pick: one recent movie that stuck with me, and why
The rewind: an old favorite worth another watch
Club picks: recommendations from fellow members
Member Spotlight: a fellow member’s comfort movie, favorite scene, and top 5
The list: a genre roundup or tier list
Behind the scenes: the stories behind the movies we love
Subscribers also get the Club chat, where we swap reactions all week. I’m in there every day, and I reply.

P.S. Want your pick in a Thursday newsletter? Club picks are open to everyone, and it takes about a minute.
Until next Thursday, be kind, rewind.
