A Pod About Nothing - A Seinfeld Podcast (EP5 - The Stock Tip)
Wow it took me over a year to edit this episode but its finally here...Season 1 episode 5 of Seinfeld: The Stock Tip! We talk about whether George is a worse person than Eric, why Scot is a much better friend to Chandru than Kramer is to Jerry, and how kinda annoying Elaine is in this episode. Also, this episode has by far the worst skit in the history of Pointless Rewind.

A Pod About Nothing - A Seinfeld Podcast (EP4 - Male Unbonding)
Check out episode 4 as Pointless Rewind goes through Seinfeld episode by episode! Listen in as we discuss Kramerica Industries' introduction, which of the three of us would have handled Jerry's friend better, the definitive introduction to Elaine's character, Eric's adventures in ordering a lager and receiving a milk glass filled with vodka instead, the lack of side plots in Season 1, and Chandru trashing Eric's apartment in an attempt at saving his life.

A Pod About Nothing - A Seinfeld Podcast (EP3 - The Robbery)
Check out the episode 3 of A Pod About Nothing as Pointless Rewind goes through Seinfeld episode by episode! Listen in as we discuss our confusion over what episode number this is, whether Eric is Kramer or George, the perfection that is the Choose scene, and the nuanced differences between cleaning a bathroom barefoot and plunging a toilet barefoot. All of this as we incorporate a half-assed laugh track, more Eric interruptions, and an amazing story of Scot versus a creepy/incompetent thief.

A Pod About Nothing - A Seinfeld Podcast (EP2 - The Stakeout)
Check out the second episode of A Pod About Nothing as Pointless Rewind goes through Seinfeld episode by episode! Listen to us discuss "The Stakeout" and how its a hilarious introduction to George's obsession with architecture and Art Vandelay, how this is the most normal romantic interest Jerry has in the entire show, and how this episode introduces Elaine in a less than flattering manner. Also you get Scot threatening Eric for interrupting him, Scot not paying attention as we do the intro, and Scot's lack of success in platonic relationships. A very Scot-centric episode as we work really hard to develop the characters we created in the pilot episode of this podcast.

A Pod About Nothing - A Seinfeld Podcast (Ep1 - Pilot)
Check us out as Pointless Rewind strays into talking about Seinfeld in our first Pod About Nothing episode! Listen to us discuss the Pilot episode's combination of clunkiness and potential, our being able to relate to all things Jerry and George not knowing what signals a woman is giving, and that maybe the Pilot episode strays a bit too far into being a show about nothing. Also, we find time to discuss how Jerry merely gets annoyed with Kramer for ruining a Mets game for him while Chandru nearly broke up with his now-wife because some random dude ruined a Spurs game for him. All of this while we manage to botch both the intro and outro despite having done this several times before. Then again this might be just us being meta in an attempt to show how unpolished the pilot episode of Seinfeld is?

Episode 14 - Pointlessly Rewinding The Thing
Check out Episode 14 where we pointlessly rewind through The Thing and overuse "thing" puns. Also, we discuss some of the greatest practical effects ever, some insanely good direction, when Blair became a Blair-Thing, how inexplicable it is that Evan (noted movie expert) was actually introduced to this movie by Anthony (noted guy who is on this podcast and watches all of the movies minutes before the podcast), and whether its more important to bring back the dodo or the saying "gone the way of the dodo". Spoiler alert, its all about the saying.

Episode 10 - Pointlessly Rewinding Rush Hour
Check out Episode 10 where we pointlessly rewind through 1998's Rush Hour! Can a podcast about neurotically rewatching movies over and over actually work when the host had only seen the movie once? Should it work?? If you can get past that, then enjoy it as we discuss Jackie Chan's foray into Hollywood, whether Chris Tucker's character is actually likeable, whether a movie like this needs a plot, the awesome chemistry between the leads, and whether Soo Yung deserved a fate more like Harry Ellis from Die Hard.

Episode 9 - Pointlessly Rewinding Die Hard
Join us as we discuss the effectiveness of John McClane, the ruthlessness of Hans Gruber, the incredible pacing of the movie, the theory that Argyle may be caught in an Interstellarish time warp in Nakatomi's garage, and how thankful we are that Al didn't follow up shooting Karl by blasting Argyle away as well.
