The Truman Show
1w ago01:29:53Tap to summarizeJim Carrey's first dramatic role since Ace Ventura 2 takes us into a discussion exploring the more relevant than ever themes of The Truman Show. Existentialism, surveillance-state, and psychological trauma coated in a perfectly set cookie-cutter 1950s Americana. Mike is not a big fan of the movie and its one of Johnny's top-10 of all time, which made for a really interesting episode. Thanks for listening, tell your friends and paramore, and as always, be kind, rewind, relax, and enjoy the best nostalgic movie podcast in the world! Maybe...
Transcribe →Forgetting Sarah Marshall
3w ago01:13:40Tap to summarizeA podcast about movies, REAL ORIGINAL! Let's talk Forgetting Sarah Marshall. We all know what its like to be dumped by a hot movie star, then going to Hawaii and picking up the 10/10 hotel concierge in one week. We had a good time talking about this fun movie, why it works, and why it holds up 18 years later. Thanks for listening to the show and as always be kind, rewind, relax, and we'll see you next time!
Transcribe →The Nice Guys
May 1401:20:31Tap to summarizeThe Nice Guys has grown in popularity as a cult favorite since its disappointing release 10 years ago! We have a good time talking about the chemistry between Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe, and why the comedy of this Shane Black movie works. Sometimes its all about high-pitched man screams and breaking buddy-cop movie stereotypes.Thanks for listening to our podcast, please tell a friend and as always be kind, rewind, relax, and enjoy the show!
Transcribe →L.A. Confidential
Apr 3001:35:40Tap to summarizeThe movie that put Russell Crowe on the map and ultimately landed him the role of Maximus in Gladiator, L.A. Confidential is a throwback detective-noir drama that holds up 30 years later. Did Dudley kill Exley's Father? Probably not, but maybe? We go on a ton of tangents on this one, that somehow directly or indirectly relate.Thanks for listening to what many are calling the greatest nostaglic movie podcast of all time. Be kind, rewind, relax, and enjoy the show!
Transcribe →Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back
Apr 1601:33:02Tap to summarizeKevin Smith's lovable supporting characters Jay and Silent Bob take the lead on this 2001 roadtrip/stoner comedy. Mike thinks Mewes overdid the schtick, but Johnny loved it. Overall still a fun movie that does a good job of taking us back to a simpler time. Thanks for listening to the show and as always, be kind, rewind, relax, and enjoy the podcast! And if you leave us a bad review or negative comment, expect a knock at the door! Snoogans!
Transcribe →Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story
Apr 201:29:22Tap to summarizeThe beginning of Vince Vaughn's comedy-lead run, Dodgeball is a cameo-loaded simple and silly sports comedy that has aged pretty well. We had a fun time talking about this 2004 classic and even reflected on our own Dodgeball playing memories of years past. And not for nothing, but it has to be asked. Did Mike kill Chuck Norris? Thanks for listening to the podcast. Please consider leaving us a rating/review and tell a friend. And as always, be kind, rewind, relax, and enjoy the program.
Transcribe →Saving Private Ryan
Mar 1802:09:57Tap to summarizeSteven Spielberg delivers one of, if not the greatest, war movie of all time. A movie that probably should have won Best Picture at the Oscars, we talk all about its legacy, its importance, and what makes it stand out as one of the best of its genre. From Omaha Beach to the battle of Ramelle, we share a lot of relatively unknown stories and facts about the movie, as well as what makes it work most, the characters. If you do anything after listening to this podcast, whatever it is, earn this. Thanks for listening to what our Mom's consider to be the greatest nostalgic movie podcast of all time. As always, be kind, rewind, relax, and enjoy the show.
Transcribe →Inside Man
Mar 401:51:14Tap to summarizeSpike Lee's bank robbery crime drama is packed with talent: Denzel, Clive Owen, Jodi Foster, Christopher Plummer, among others, but we get into what made this movie work, with heavy leaning on its clever twist ending. Movies with big third act twists often live or die by them, and Inside Man lives. We had a good time talking about this movie that is, shockingly, 20 years old this year. And our random unrelated mention on this episode goes out to Traci Bingham. Thanks for listening to who our close friends and family objectively call the greatest nostalgia movie podcast of all time. Be kind, rewind, relax, and enjoy the show!
Transcribe →The Departed
Feb 1801:52:52Tap to summarizeDrop your "R"s kids, it's time to head back to Boston and remind ourselves of that overplayed Dropkick Murphy's song as we revisit Martin Scorsese's, The Departed. Our opinions differ a bunch on this Oscar winner but we both left it feeling like it was one of our best discussions, so we hope you agree. Thank you for listening to the greatest nostalgic movie podcast in the world, according to our Moms.

Transcribe →The Last Boy Scout
Jan 2801:14:22Tap to summarizeThis 1991 Action/Comedy gave us this non-Die Hard Die Hard movie, with Bruce Willis playing close to John McClane alongside Damon Wayans, with plenty of familiar face cameos and of course, a brief but wonderful time with Halle Berry. We get into the production drama, whether this was intended to be the next buddy cop franchise, and where it stands in the pantheon of Bruce Willis and action comedies all together.Thanks for listening, please tell a friend about Just Like The Movies, and enjoy the podcast.
