Welcome to the very first episode of Total Rewind, a brand-new series on The Movie Dweeb! I sit down with some of the biggest names in film and TV to look back at the movies that inspired them, shaped their careers, and sparked their love of cinema, all with a retro VHS twist.
For episode one, I’m joined by the brilliant Chukwudi Iwuji (Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Peacemaker). Chukwudi dives into working with James Gunn, ranks Gunn’s iconic Guardians needle drops, and even teases the possibility of returning to the DC Universe as Brainiac. He also shares his dream of joining Denis Villeneuve’s upcoming James Bond movie.
Chukwudi then rewinds to the movies that shaped him: from his guilty pleasure, Alien, to his love for Denis Villeneuve’s filmography, plus his new film Play Dirty. He also opens up about his Shakespeare background, and even channels his inner Shakespearean actor to recite the viral Jet2 holiday meme. We wrap things up with hilarious fan questions... Including one from Rocket Raccoon himself.
