Key Takeaways
Welcome to Rewatching! Each season, we do a fan-friendly, deep dive into the most recognizable and nostalgic film franchises in pop culture such as The Lord of the Rings (Season 1), Harry Potter (Season 2), and many other favorites. Our cast and crew, similar to the franchises, are new every season but what they lack in consistency they make up for with a love of these films. We are fans first, not experts and...fair warning: there will be spoilers because this isn’t "Watching"... this is Rewatching.
